HP DCE 1.7 for HP-UX 11.0 Release Note 29

Known Problems and Work Arounds

Differences in Functionality

✓ /.:/hosts/foo/conﬁg/hostdata/post_processors

Grants purge and read permissions to the machine principal and

to the member of the subsys/dce/dced-admin group. Grants

read access to all other users.

This prevents altering post-processors that are executed as a

privileged user.

✓ /.:/hosts/foo/conﬁg/hostdata/passwd_override, and

/.:/hosts/foo/conﬁg/hostdata/group_override

Grants no right to all users. These ﬁles should be only accessible

by the local privileged user.

• HP’s dced supports the new -r option. This option starts dced in

remote-update mode, which allows DCE cell administration tasks to

be performed by an administrator on a remote machine. By default,

dced prevents any remote administration, to help prevent attacks.
