shell:

shell/iX> id /etc/zoneinfo

shell/iX> in -s US/Paciﬁc localtime California local time

Conﬁguring a DCE Client (Client-Only System)

A DCE client can not be conﬁgured without a functional DCE cell. In other words, when

you conﬁgure your machine as a DCE client, the DCE cell that you are going to conﬁgure

needs to be up and running. You need to know the name of the cell and the names of the

systems that the DCE servers (Security, CDS and DTS) reside.

Before preceding with the DCE Client conﬁguration, ensure that the HOSTS.NET.SYS ﬁle

in your machine contains the IP addresses for the systems that are running as Servers.

When complete, follow the description in the “Startup the DCE Configuration” menu to bring up

the DCE main menu.

The following steps enable you to add your machine as a DCE client node:

1. Select “1. Conﬁgure” from the DCE Main Menu.

2. Select “3. DCE Client” from the DCE Conﬁguration menu.

3. Respond to the questions as shown in Figure 3-12.

Figure 3-12 Security Client

Two DCE daemon jobs (rpcd, secclntd) are streamed and are running. You are

informed that your machine is now a Security client.

4. Respond to the questions shown in Figure 3-13 to add CDS client conﬁguration to

your system:

Enter the name of your cell (without /,,,/):

n22cell

What is the name of the Security Server for this cell? server1

You can either continue or exit from dce_config.

Do you wish to continue (y/n)? (y): y

Enter Cell Administrator’s principal name: cell_admin

Enter password: password

This machine is ow a security client.
