Shelob is the cute, lovable watch dog (spider) that guards the back entrance into Mordor.
Since my Mordor has no back door, shelob is my NT server (90 MHz Pentium -- slow by today's standards). shelob is for all that neat PC software that is just too expensive if you buy the Unix version. It mounts several disks from sauron courtesy of Hummingbird Communications and also understands NIS.
