OSF DCE Administration Guide--Core Components

Managing DCE Host Services and Host Data

Use the dcecp acl object to view or modify ACLs. For example, use the following

operation to view the ACL for the hostdata container object on host silver:

dcecp> acl show /.:/hosts/silver/conﬁg/hostdata

{user hosts/silver/self criI}

{unauthenticated r}

{any_other r}

9.3.1.2 Permissions for the Hostdata Items

Each of the following host identity data items is protected by an ACL:

/.../cellname/hosts/hostname/conﬁg/hostdata/host_name

/.../cellname/hosts/hostname/conﬁg/hostdata/cell_name

/.../cellname/hosts/hostname/conﬁg/hostdata/cell_aliases

/.../cellname/hosts/hostname/conﬁg/hostdata/post_processors

Each ACL has the following permissions:

c (control) Modify the ACL

d (delete) Delete the item

p (purge) Delete the backing storage for an item

r (read) Read an item’s data

w (write) Modify an item’s data

Use the acl object to view or modify ACLs. For example, use the following operation to

view the ACL for the cell_aliases hostdata item on host silver:

dcecp> acl show /.:/hosts/silver/conﬁg/hostdata/cell_aliases

{user hosts/silver/self cdprw}

{unauthenticated r}

{any_other r}

9.3.2 Modifying Host Cell Name Information

Using the hostdata object, you can add, change, and remove data items on DCE hosts.

While administrators will ﬁnd this useful for modifying a host’s cell name or cell alias

information, they can also operate on other data that is accessible on a host.
