Component Scripts
The dce_config script calls component scripts that reside in the /etc directory.
In a custom configuration script, you can call the component scripts directly and
supply the required input through the environment variables. The names and
functions of the component scripts are:
Privilege Required
To perform the install commands of dce_config, you must use the NonStop OS super
ID 255,255. To perform other dce_config commands, you must use the DCE privuser
ID. The DCE privuser is specified during dce_config install, possibly through the
environment variable DCE_PRIVUSER.
dce_shutdown Shuts down all DCE server processes (auditd, cdsadv,
cdsd, dced, dtsd, gdad, pwd_strengthd, and secd)
by using the dcecp utility or other control programs.
This script must be run on the machine running the
demon processes. You must be the DCE privuser to run
the script. You should always run the script before
reconfiguring DCE.
If the dce_shutdown script cannot shut down a demon
gently, it sends a kill signal to all the DCE demons. If for
any reason you do not want to use a control program,
you can execute the script manually. The
dce_shutdown script run with its -f flag finds and
terminates the DCE demons. This behavior is the same
as that of the dce.clean script, which was included in
the EAP release of NonStop DCE.
dce.rm [install] Removes all data and configuration files created by
DCE servers after initial configuration. This script must
be run on the machine running the processes. It should
be run before reconfiguring DCE. If you invoke the
script with the install parameter, the script removes the
binary files added during installation.
dce.unconfig hostname Removes all DCE clients on hostname from the security
and directory service databases. This script should be
run before reconfiguration of a client machine.
dce_com_env Sets environment variables.
dce_config_env Calls the
dce_com_env script that sets the
environment variables.
dce_com_utils Contains common functions used by dce_config.
dce_config_utils Contains internal routines used by dce_config scripts.
rc.dce.hostname Starts DCE demons. This script cannot be run remotely;
it must be run on the machine on which the demons are
being started.
