Limitations of HP-UX DCE 2.0
Following are limitations of HP-UX DCE 2.0:
• The tool passwd_import, which imports user account information
from /etc/passwd files to the Registry database, does not import the
passwords themselves. Therefore, after you have used
passwd_import to create skeletal DCE accounts in the Registry
database, you must use the dcecp tool to add passwords to those
accounts. This information is particularly important to customers
who plan on using the HP-UX Integrated login tools (login, etc.)
with DCE.
• Transitive trust path generation and evaluation, as described in
sections 33.1.2 and 33.1.4 of the OSF DCE Administration Guide -
Core Components is not supported.
• Cell alias/rename is partially supported: creation of cell aliases
(dcecp cellalias create) is supported; renaming of cells (dcecp
cellalias set) is not supported. Disregard Sections 21.6.2 and
21.6.3 of the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components.
• Cell alias names are not automatically propagated across cell
boundaries. Use of cell aliases across cell boundaries is supported
when the cell alias name is manually registered in the security name
space.
