About HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7
Notes, Cautions and Warnings Regarding This Release
Administrators should periodically monitor the size of the Security audit
logs on the Security server machines. Each audit trail log consists of two
files — the actual trail log file and the associated index file. These logs
are in:
/var/opt/dce/security/sec_audit_trail
/var/opt/dce/security/sec_audit_trail.md_index
Other older audit logs may also be present. These can be found under the
same directory, but have a date and time stamp format inserted into the
name. As an example:
sec_audit_trail.1995-08-31-15-19-52
sec_audit_trail.1995-08-31-15-19-52.md_index
For detailed information on the DCE Audit Service, see the OSF DCE
Administration Guide and Reference. For Audit Service configuration
information see Chapter 5 of this manual.
Setting LANG and NLSPATH Environment
Variables
English-language users of HP DCE/9000 should set the NLSPATH
environment variable to include /usr/lib/nls/C/%N or should set
NLSPATH to include /usr/lib/nls/%L/%N and LANG to C. Users who
want to use another language should set the NLSPATH environment
variable to include / usr/lib/nls/%L/%N and LANG to their preferred
language. See the environ (5) and locale (1) man pages for details on
LANG and NLSPATH syntax.
dcecp in Local Mode
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 that is running dced, also in normal mode, and then execute dcecp
again. Alternatively, you can quit out of local mode between acl modify
-add commands, as follows:
dcecp -local
dcecp> acl modify -local foo1 -add ...
dcecp> quit
dcecp -local
dcecp> acl modify -local foo2 -add ...
dcecp> quit
