dce_config then starts up secd and initializes the registry database.

This system is now configured as the master Security server. You must now create a CDS server, either on
this system or on another system:
• If the CDS server for this cell will be on another system, repeat steps 1 and 2 on that system, and
continue with step 10 below.
• If the CDS server is on the same system as the Security server, continue with step 9 below.
CAUTION Do not configure an additional CDS Server or a replica of a CDS Server on the same system
as your Security Server. Such a configuration is illegal and unsupported.
9. From the Initial Cell Configuration menu, choose Initial CDS Server:
selection: 2 (Initial CDS Server)
Initial Cell Configuration (on
hostname
)
This routine starts up cdsadv and cdsd, initializes the name space, and sets ACLs for all new name space
entries.

10. dce_config asks whether it should create a LAN profile for use in dividing clients and servers into profile
groups for higher performance in multi-LAN cells. If you choose to have a LAN profile created,
dce_config asks for the name of the local LAN. The name you provide is arbitrary, and is used by
dce_config to store LAN profile information.
Create LAN profile so clients and servers can be divided into profile groups for higher performance
in a multi-lan cell? (n) y
What is the name of the LAN? lan_250

This system is now configured as a CDS server. You must now create a DTS server, either on this system
or on another system.
Time servers should be configured in any cell of more than one system. A minimum of three Time servers
is recommended for any cell with three or more member systems. See the
OSF DCE Administration
Guide - Core Services
for a discussion of the optimum placement of servers in a cell with gateway or
WAN links. DTS servers may be configured on any system in the cell.
