The assessment of NetWare 3.x/4.x that was done at that time revealed farT too many Intel x86 dependencies & assumptions in the core NOS to make it feasible toX convert.  It looks like Novell is at least taking some good steps in the right directionZ this time by making sure that the hardware is abstracted from the OS at the lowest levels.  Z The reason that eDirectory on Alpha [and even NetWare64 on Alpha] would be desirable comes\ from the approach that Novell is taking with their marketing of eDirectory these days.  TheyZ are not necessarily catering an NOS to companies that will have at most just a few tens ofY thousands of objects in their directory.  Instead, they're going after the electronic B2Bo\ market and the large-scale directory market where you may literally have tens or hundreds ofZ millions of objects in the directory.  For example, whenever you go to CNN's web site, you are issued a cookie to identifyeX you.  The cookie also results in an object being created in an NDS eDirectory tree which[ gets some portal site customization information attached to it.  Later on, if you return to1T the CNN site, the cookie held by your browser is used to retrieve this customizationW information from your personal cookie object in the eDirectory tree.  CNN's servers areIU handling something in excess of 10 to 20 million objects that get frequently updated.lZ Powering that eDirectory with Alpha-based systems should provide much more performance and< scalability than using less capable IA32/IA64/Sparc systems.     -- Chuck Chopp   8 ChuckChopp@rtfmcsi.com            http://www.rtfmcsi.com0                                   ICQ # 22321532@ RTFM Consulting Services Inc.     864 801 2795 voice & voicemail2 103 Autumn Hill Road              864 801 2774 fax4 Greer, SC  29651                  800 774 0718 pager7                                   8007740718@skytel.como   ------------------------------    Date: 26 Mar 2001 15:30:51 -0500+ From: kuhrt@encompasserve.org (Marty Kuhrt)sF Subject: Re: Keeping userids and passwords synchronize across 4 Alphas3 Message-ID: <Fyg$0wX65BG$@eisner.encompasserve.org>   _ In article <lilpbtg3iimgvbjk91ugs6gfhfjh382qvu@4ax.com>, Norman Woo <nwoo@videotron.ca> writes:
