38.3 Starting the Master Replica
After dce_config creates the master replica, it starts the master replica. To start the
master replica (secd) explicitly, use the following steps:
1. Log in as root on the machine that will run the master replica.
2. Use ps to ensure that a dced is running on the machine. If one is not, start one. To
