!!! Overview
Novell uses a DOT notation for FDN within:
* Many Utilities
* [DirXML]

Any parameter value that has a FDN must be put in the [FDN] name can also contain dots (for example, novell.com). 

Because ndsconfig is a command line utility, using containers with dotted names requires that those dots be escaped out, and the parameters containing these contexts must be enclosed in double quotes.

For [Example], to install a new eDirectory tree on a UNIX server using “novell.com” as the name of the O, use the following command:
ndsconfig new -a "admin.novell\\.com" -t novell_tree -n "OU=servers.O=novell\\.com"
