A.6 InventoryResolveNonLumOwnerName Command

Purpose

The InventoryResolveNonLumOwnerName command is used when you perform an inventory of NSS volumes and the file owner UID is set to the Nobody user. The Nobody user is reported when a file is owned by a Novell eDirectory user that is not enabled with Linux User Management (LUM).

Syntax

If you modify the setting, you must restart Novell Remote Manager.

InventoryResolveNonLumOwnerName <false|true>

Option

Use

false

The inventory does not resolve the user IDs of non-LUM-enabled file owners. The owner is reported as the Nobody user.

This is the default setting. This provides faster performance for an inventory of files on an NSS volume when eDirectory users are not LUM enabled.

true

The inventory tries to resolve the user IDs of non-LUM-enabled file owners by using NSS APIs. This can result in a major performance impact for the inventory. The more non-LUM-enabled file owners the inventory encounters, the longer it takes to complete the inventory.

Examples

The following example does not resolve the user IDs of file owners that are not LUM enabled. This is the default setting. The non-LUM-enabled owners are reported as the Nobody user.

InventoryResolveNonLumOwnerName false

The following example resolves the user IDs of file owners that are not LUM enabled to the user name. The more non-LUM-enabled owners encountered, the longer the inventory can take.

InventoryResolveNonLumOwnerName true
