super time factors (STFs)
The super ID has the set of special permissions called appropriate privileges. In the
Guardian environment, the structured view of the super ID, which is (255, 255), is most
commonly used. In the Open System Services (OSS) environment, the scalar view of
the super ID, which is 65535, is most commonly used.
super time factors (STFs). An enhancement to the Expand product that allows the
extension of automatically calculated time factors to line speeds greater than 224
kilobits/second. These time factors are logarithmic based and allow specification of a
much broader range of line performance.
superuser. See super ID.
supplementary group ID. An Open System Services (OSS) process attribute that is used
to determine the file-access permissions for the process.
support planner. The person who creates the operational environment for the system and
is responsible for the support of the system. This person creates the startup and

SWAN 2 concentrator. See ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) 2 concentrator.
SWAN manager task (SMT). A manager task that is provided as part of the wide area
network (WAN) subsystem. The SMT runs in each communications line interface
processor (CLIP) and provides a variety of management functions such as
coordinating data link control (DLC) and diagnostic task downloads.
SWID. The software identification tool invoked by the system generation program that audits
file identification information about your software.
switch. See HP NonStop™ Cluster Switch (model 6770) and HP NonStop™ ServerNet
Switch (model 6780).
