Server Side Configuration Tweaks

I've been advised of some good client side tweaks for the Novell Client like turning File Caching off and turning File Commit on, much from reading the likes of commentary from ShineOn and PsiCop.  

One of you good folks mentioned there are some server side configs that could improve performance.  I have a Netware 6.0 SP3 (SP5 very soon) server.  Any recommendations?

djhath,

Are you looking for performance tweaks or security tweaks?

6a)  Create a second admin-powered account with an unguessable name and a complex password and put the password in a safe or something, JUST IN CASE your other admin-powered account gets deleted or is otherwise made unusable.  Saves a service call to Novell support...
Doesn't SSH automatically give you SFTP?
I'm not 100% clear on that. The Subsystem configuration option is not present on Novell's list of supported configuration file options (http://www.novell.com/documentation/nw65/index.html?page=/documentation/nw65/openssh/data/ajpc1oy.html). Nor is there an "sftp-server" executable, such as is found in the libexec subdirectory of a typical OpenSSH installation.

Without that subsystem support, the OpenSSH daemon can't do SFTP. From what I can tell, the NetWare version doesn't have it. If I'm wrong, someone please tell me. Its one of my questions for the "Mett the Experts" session at BrainShare.
Of course, this page (http://www.novell.com/documentation/nw65/index.html?page=/documentation/nw65/openssh/data/ajpce0l.html) seems to say that it DOES support SFTP. Like I said, its not very clear. From my *NIX experience with OpenSSH, it doesn't seem to, but then sftp-server might be compiled into the sshd.nlm.
