OSF DCE Administration Guide—Core Components
services Identifies the services offered by the server. Each service attribute
consists of an attribute list with the following elements:
annotation A human-readable string describing the service.
ifname The interface name of this service (specified in the
interface definition file).
interface The interface identifier (UUID and version number) of
this service (specified in the interface definition file).
binding A list of string bindings identifying this service.
entryname The name of an RPC entry to which the server exports
its binding for this service.
flags A list of keywords to identify flags for this server. Only
the disabled flag is currently supported.
objects A list of object UUIDs supported by this service.
uid A POSIX UID that the server is started with.
starton Specifies server starting conditions. The value is a list of one or more of
the following:
auto The server starts whenever a request for its service is
received by the DCE daemon.
explicit The server starts (or stops) whenever an administrator
performs a server start or server stop operation that
directly names the server.
boot The server starts whenever the host system starts.
failure The server starts whenever it has exited with a
unsuccessful exit status.
10.1.1.3 Permissions for Accessing Server Control Facilities
An ACL prevents unauthorized principals from creating, reading, changing, or deleting
information maintained by the server control facilities.
The server control facility maintains two kinds of server control information. Server
configuration information (named srvrconf in DCE) consists of the information needed
to start servers. Server execution information (named srvrexec in DCE) consists of
information needed to control or stop servers when they are running.
Server configuration information is protected by two types of ACLs. One ACL protects
the container in which the server control information resides. A second ACL type
protects each individual server’s configuration information.
Similarly, server execution information is protected by two types of ACLs. One ACL
protects the container in which the server execution information resides. A second ACL
type protects each running server’s execution information.
