Known Problems and Work Arounds

Chapter 1 13

Use kdestroy to remove credentials that are no longer needed. The

-e option of kdestroy removes credentials older than a specified

number of hours.

• When you run dcecp in "local" mode (that is, when you start dcecp

with the local option) on a host with dced in partial-service mode,

there is a possibility that a dcecp "acl modify -add" command

will not work. The interactive dcecp session may hang or a Bus

Error may be returned.

One workaround for this condition is to run dcecp in normal mode on

a host with dced also in normal mode and then execute the

command again. Alternatively, you can quit out of "local" mode

between acl modify -add commands. For more information, see

Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 2.0 (5991-7712).

• From HP-UX DCE 1.6 onwards, dcecp's secval activate and

secval deactivate commands became asynchronous. They return

before the actual change takes place within dced. (Prior to HP-UX

DCE 1.6, secval activate and secval deactivate were

synchronous and didn't return until the actual state change finished

in dced.)

You should use the secval status command to verify the state

change. Although future HP-UX DCE releases may reimplement

synchronous secval activate and deactivate commands, the

verification by secval status is still recommended.

•The "add cellname as preferred" cdscp command has been

removed. The use of the "add cellname as preferred" command

to set a new primary cdsalias name for a local cell causes the cell to

have problems.

•The dcecp commands rpcentry, rpcgroup, and rpcprofile do not

support the -version option.

• There is a known bug in the k5dcelogin command when called by

rlogin -f to log in to the local node.

If you already have Kerberos credentials on the local node when

using rlogin -f to log in to it, then when you exit or logout, your

local Kerberos credentials will be deleted. This is a known bug in

k5dcelogin, where the local credentials are deleted on completion of

the process.
