Conﬁguring HP-UX DCE Cells

Conﬁguring Cells Using dce_conﬁg

• SYNC_CLOCKS: Set to y to synchronize client clock with that of the security server; n otherwise. If not set,

and clocks are out of sync by more than $TOLERANCE_SEC, user is prompted for whether to synchronize.

This variable is irrelevant if CHECK_TIME is set to n.

• TOLERANCE_SEC: Number of seconds client node system clock is allowed to differ from security server

system clock before warning that clocks are not in sync and allowing input to synchronize. Default is 120

seconds. Note: Security and Cell Directory services require less than a 5 minute difference between any

two nodes in the cell.

• TP_DEV: Name of device to which Spectracom time source is attached. Example: /dev/tty00.

• UID_GAP: Increment above highest currently-used UID at which the Registry Service will start assigning

automatically-generated UIDs. Default is 100.

• UNCONFIG_HOST_PRESET: Host name of node to be unconﬁgured.
