NetInfo
Examine client information
¬
Each computer that imports a files from another computer on the network is a client.

Information about a client and the files it's importing is stored in the /mounts directory of the domain where the computer is set up.

¬
1	Log in as root on any computer on the network.
	If you don't log in as root, you can type the root password if the User Authentication panel appears. 
¬
2	Double-click NetInfoManager in /NextAdmin. 
¬
3	Choose Domain ¬ Open from the NetInfoManager menu, select the domain with the client you want to examine, and click OK.
	In a simple two-level network, all the client information is stored in the root (/) domain.
¬
4	Click /mounts in the browser.
¬
5	Double-click the name of the client you want to examine.
	A property window shows the property keys for the client in the first column and the values in the second column.
¬
6	Click a property key to see its value.
¬
	
CAUTION  When you select a property key or value, it appears in the text field at the bottom of the window. You can type a new property key or value. However, changing a property key can have serious consequences throughout the networkÐboth the system and individual applications use the standard property keys in their functions.
