Known Problems and Work Arounds
Chapter 116
The script /usr/sbin/auth.adm is supplied to activate the
integrated login utilities once your system has been set up with the
needed accounts.
You should not use the auth.adm script to activate the integrated
login utilities until after you have set up the accounts necessary for
your site in the DCE security service registry.
Login using a fully qualified DCE name is supported for integrated
login configurations created by
— auth.adm -i -l dce -b ux
— auth.adm -i -l dce
but not for other configurations generated by auth.adm.
• In normal operation, core dumps of ilogind will be suppressed. To
reverse this suppression, create a file, /var/adm/ilogin/DEBUG,
owned by root and with the setuid bit set.
• In normal operation, core dumps of libpam_dce.1 will be
suppressed. To reverse this suppression, create a file,
/var/adm/ilogin/LIBPAMDCE_DEBUG, owned by root and with the
setuid bit set.
• Group information used during login is obtained from the local
machine, not the DCE registry.
• Don't specify "-a dce" option if DCE requires generated passwords.
• The HP-UX DCE 2.0 online help has not been updated since HP-UX
DCE 1.6.
• When configuring HP-UX DCE 2.0, you may safely ignore the
following note regarding the online help:
The helpgen utility has been run to create an up-to-date
help browser volume for this system. If you have modified
the environment variable XVHHELPSYSTEMSEARCHPATH (in the
/usr/vue/config/Xsession file), but did not run `update'
during an HP VUE session, your custom value for
XVHHELPSYSTEMSEARCHPATH may not have been used. You may
need to log into an HP VUE session and rerun helpgen as
superuser.(For more information, refer to the helpgen man
page.)
• Transitive trust between hierarchical cells is not supported.
