Hi! Could you please tell me the differences between "Binary" connection and "Tree" connection of Novell network?
Thank you very much.

Well to start, I think your asking about Bindery rather than binary. The Bindery is a flat database that was used in Netware 3.20 and below prior to NDS. This DB sits on each NW server, while the NDS operates across all NW servers within a network.
NW 4.x+ servers use NDS, but you also have Bindery emulation to allow 3.2- servers to participate in NDS networks.
Go to the console of any 4.x 5.x 6.x NW server and type set bindery context. It will return the current context setting for bindery emulation. What this is saying is that when someone, something, tries to connect to this server in bindery mode, it will use this context only (since bindery cannot really understand NDS context).
Lets say that you have something like this for a tree
BIGCOTree
O=BIGCO
OU=CA
OU=SB
CN=Server1
CN=User1
OU=IL
So if in this case, User1 tries to connect to Server1 in bindery mode, the ?Bindery Context? must be set on Server1 to .SB.CA.BIGCO
If User1 wanted to connect to this server using NDS, he would login with .User1.SB.CA.BIGCO.
The differences are huge, and much too complex to explain, but for a primer, this may help.
