Notes, Cautions and Warnings Regarding This Release
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 theirpreferred
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. A
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
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.
