Differences in Functionality
This section briefly describes differences in functionality from previous
releases of HP DCE and OSF DCE and other considerations. These
changes were made at HP DCE 1.4.x. For detailed information about
these changes, see Planning and Configuring HP DCE 1.7.
• As of HP DCE 1.4, the audit daemon does not start by default. You
must set the proper environment variable, export it, and start the
audit daemon. You can also start the audit daemon using dce_config.
For information about starting the audit daemon, see Chapter 5 of
Planning and Configuring HP DCE 1.7.
• HP DCE 1.7 includes the following changes made at HP DCE 1.4 to
the dcecp command:
✓ The registry show -replica command displays a new attribute
field, -supportedversions.
✓ The registry show -replica command no longer displays the
version attribute. Use the registry show -attr command to
display the version attribute.
✓ The registry delete -only command has been changed to
registry destroy. The registry delete command still exists, but
the -only option is not available.
✓ The registry set command has been renamed registry
designate. All options formerly supported by registry set are
supported by registry designate.
✓ The registry modify -version command has been added to
support cell migration.
• You can specify the machine string binding in place of the host name
in the -hostdata show command. (This is an HP DCE 1.4 extension
of OSF DCE 1.1 functionality.)
• As of HP DCE 1.4, to join a cell, the user no longer needs to tell
dce_config the name of the cell that the user is joining; instead the
user specifies a name of a security server. The function
create_dcecfdb() will figure out the primary name of the cell, and
