Overview of Management Tools

With the exception of one task (creating home directories for Samba users), we recommend that all NNLS management be performed using the browser-based tools. This ensures that all the system commands required to execute various tasks are performed in proper order and that none of them is overlooked.

Table 5 is a quick reference for accessing NNLS management tools. Specific instructions for the tasks listed are found in the administration guides and other documentation for the services each tool manages.
