About HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7
Notes, Cautions and Warnings Regarding This Release
dcecp secval Change
At HP DCE 1.6, dcecp’s secval activate and secval deactivate
commands became asynchronous. They return before the actual change
takes place within dced. Therefore, you should use the secval status
command to verify the state change. Prior to HP DCE 1.6, secval
activate and secval deactivate were synchronous and did not return
until the actual state change finished in dced. Although future
HP DCE/9000 releases may reimplement synchronous secval activate
and deactivate commands, the verification by secval status is still
recommended.
HP DCE/9000 Interoperability with
SharedPrint/UX
SharedPrint/UX 1.3 or earlier will not operate with HP DCE/9000.
k5dcelogin Limitation
There is a limitation 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, then when you exit or log out, your local Kerberos
credentials will be deleted. This is a limitation in k5dcelogin, where the
local credentials are deleted on completion of the process.
The workaround is to use rlogin without the -f option when logging in to
the local node. When you use rlogin -f to log in to a remote node,
k5dcelogin deletes the credentials on the remote system once you exit
the remote system; this is intended behavior.
