HP-UX DCE Version 2.0 Release Notes

Known Problems and Work Arounds
Chapter 1 15
• A machine whose name has been changed must be unconfigured and
then reconfigured into the cell; otherwise the old name will be used.
• Support for Integrated Login Password Expiration and Password
Generation is as follows:
When a password expires, the corresponding account is disabled. The
user cannot log in until the DCE cell administrator reactivates the
account. The DCE cell administrator can exempt certain principals
from this security feature by attaching instances of the
passwd_override ERA to those principals.
To prevent this problem, users can add the following parameters to
an account line in pam.conf:
-warn_pwd_expiry m warns a user when his password is within m days
of expiring.
-force_pwd_change n forces a user to change his password when it is
within n days of expiring.
•The new dced-based server configuration and execution features are
not fully functional. The following dcecp commands are not yet
implemented. They will be provided in a future release:
— server stop -method rpc
— server enable
— server disable
— server create -starton auto
• To enable printing, you must add the lp administrator to the
passwd_override file; you can do this only if you create the principal
and account for lp in the registry.
• xntpd and dtsd cannot run on the same host because they both
affect the system clock. If xntpd is running, do not start dtsd
manually or via the DCE configuration tools (DCM, dce_config)
without first stopping the xntpd daemon.
• Use the following command to display the dts_update man page:
man dts_update
• Most systems will require the transfer of account information from
/etc/passwd to the DCE Security Registry before the system will be
useful.
