Known Problems and Work Arounds
This section describes the known problems, workarounds, and changes
in HP-UX DCE Version 2.0 on HP-UX 11i v3.
Known Problems for HP-UX DCE Version 2.0
This section contains a list of the known problems for HP-UX DCE 2.0.
Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 2.0 (5991-7712) also contains
additional information about many of these problems.
There are several known problems with integrated login that are
documented only in Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 2.0
(5991-7712). For information about these problems, refer to Chapter 6 of
that manual under "Notes, Cautions, and Warnings" and "Integrating
DCE with HP-UX Integrated Login". See also "Notes, Cautions and
Warnings About Using HP-UX Integrated Login with DCE" and
"Configuring ux as a Fallback Technology for DCE."
HP-UX DCE 2.0 Limitations and Known Problems
The limitations of HP-UX DCE 2.0 are as follows:
• In a split server configuration, if the secd/dtsd server is started
before the cdsd/dtsd server, dtsd will fail to start if CDS services
are not available. The problem lies in the dtsd initialization code
attempting to export its time service interface into the namespace.
If this problem occurs, verify that cdsd is running and start dtsd
using one of the following commands:
/opt/dcelocal/bin/dtsd -s (for servers)
/opt/dcelocal/bin/dtsd -c (for clients)
• If you use standard UNIX remote login utilities (remsh, rlogin,
telnet) to perform remote DCE cell administration, these utilities
may expose the cell administrator's password to network attackers.
The most secure way to perform cell administration is to log in
locally on each system that requires administration.
• A user's DCE credentials are not automatically removed by exiting a
shell or logging out.
