7.5 Stopping DCE Processes Running on a Host

Like the host start operation discussed in the previous section, the host stop operation is

more encompassing than a server stop operation. It lets you stop all DCE processes on a

host with a single command rather than issue a separate server stop operation for each

server. This operation stops application servers, then DCE processes and ﬁnally, when

stopping DCE processes on the local machine, stops dced. You can read more about

controlling servers in Chapter 10.

To operate on a remote host, its DCE daemon must be running. Remote host stop

operations also require at least one CDS server and one security server to be running in

the cell. The host stop operation operates on DCE servers and clients and on application

servers that have been conﬁgured by using the server object.

The following example stops all DCE processes and application servers on host bigbox:

dcecp> host stop /.:/hosts/bigbox

7.6 Conﬁguring a DCE Host in a Cell

Once DCE Version 1.1 software has been installed on a host, you can conﬁgure the local

host as a DCE client machine by using a host conﬁgure operation. You must have root

or system administrator privileges on the local host to execute a host conﬁgure

operation.

You can read more about requirements for DCE server and client systems in the .

Note that you cannot conﬁgure DCE servers such as a DCE Security Service registry or a

CDS server by using a host conﬁgure operation. Instead, use the DCE Installation and

Conﬁguration program to conﬁgure DCE servers in your cell.

Before conﬁguring a DCE client system, be sure the DCE software has been installed on

the host. For information about installing DCE, refer to your DCE installation

instructions or the

To conﬁgure a DCE client system, perform the following steps:

1. Log into a privileged account (root or system administrator) on the host to be

conﬁgured.

2. Start the DCE control program and perform a host conﬁgure -client operation.

Include an argument specifying the cell-relative name of the local host being

conﬁgured. The operation adds this name to CDS. Use required options to specify

the host names where the master security server and a CDS server are running.

Other required options are -administrator, which speciﬁes the principal name of

the person conﬁguring the host (usually the cell administrator), and -password

followed by the administrator’s password.
