14 HP DCE 1.7 for HP-UX 11.0 Release Note

What’s In This Version

Other Information

• acl_edit

The following daemons no longer exist:

• sec_clientd

• rpcd

• cdsclerk

dced replaces sec_clientd and rpcd. As of HP DCE 1.4.x, a symbolic

link permits you to run dced as rpcd.The functionality of cdsclerk is

part of cdsadv in HP DCE 1.4.x. You need to modify any scripts or

programs that reference these non-existent daemons.

Transition of ACL Managers in HP DCE 1.6

OSF DCE 1.2.1 provides ACL management facilities within libdce. The

sec_acl_mgr API is obsolete, and it is no longer necessary to write your

own ACL manager. Refer to the OSF DCE documentation to determine

how to use the new dce_acl API to greatly reduce the amount of

specialized ACL code your application needs to deal with.

Before migrating their ACL management layer to the DCE supported

dce_acl API, HP DCE 1.5 users were advised to include a

backward-compatible set of header ﬁles that matched the header ﬁles

used by applications in previous HP DCE releases. For HP DCE Versions

1.6 and 1.7, backward-compatible ﬁles are not necessary. Users who

included them should now put the previous ﬁles back; i.e., replace any

instance of:

• #include <dce/rdaclifv0.h> in your application with #include

• #include <dce/daclmgrv0.h> with #include <dce/daclmgr.h>

In your makeﬁles and in your application program, change all instances

of:

• rdaclifv to rdaclif

• daclmagrv0 to daclmgr

Future Support for POSIX 1003.1c Threads

CMA applications are likely to migrate from Draft 4 of the POSIX

threads standard to the ﬁnal, ratiﬁed 1003.1c standard for kernel

threads. This migration will result in source incompatibility, and it is
