No, but it's simple:
OS2/eCS uses 2 different strategies to login:
A your system is hosted in a domain (that means there is a real
server like WSoD, WinServer or Linux Server) then there is a domain
controller working that makes administration of the whole net (users
and resources) central for a network admininistrator. That means you
have to login with UID and password to Domain (the 3. entryfield on
the dialo).
B you're on a (home) network whereas no server exists. For using
network you would activate PEER in ibmlan.ini. In that case yopu would
use the other login dialog that presents only 2 entryfields (UID and
password).
Oh, yes, the difference is that server login will login you into the
whole net at once, giving you access to the domain controller. The
peer login will you login only to the peer servers (ordinary clients
that are willing to share some resources with users/groups they alone
are willing to do so. Yes, it is possible to a client to share some of
its resources with other users even when they are members of an
dommain. So you'll needs 2 different logins (one to the domain and
another to the peer server on that specific client.
To get a login to to a peer server you must be a known user of that
mashine. For that you, as the administrator of that client would login
as admint on your own mashine and define userid and password for each
user you will allow sharing (some) resource with users of other
computers. That means you'll fires up the object "shared resouource
and networks" and create the groups and users you likes to give access
to the resources (disks, directories, printers, modems) connected to
your mshining.
Then a user of another mashine on your network will register himself
als admin of his own mashine using userid andd password you have
registerd for ready to connect to the reources on your mashine you
have allowed him to see. Then he will see your resource in a list and
may connect to them.
