Variable Value
____________________________________________________________
The value of this variable is used
with the LOW_GID variable to set
the starting point for UIDs
automatically assigned by the
Security server. Default is 100.
Used in Security server
configuration.
____________________________________________________________
The IP address of node on which
dce_config is running.
HOST_NAME_IP
____________________________________________________________
A character string used to seed the
random key generator in order to
create the master key for the master
and each slave database. Each
database has its own master key
and thus keyseed. Used in Security
server configuration.
KEYSEED
____________________________________________________________
For multiple LAN configurations,
the internal name of the LAN (in
the LAN profile). Used in CDS
server configuration.
LAN_NAME
____________________________________________________________
The full pathname of the log file
produced by dce_config. The
default is /tmp/dce_config.log
LOGFILE
____________________________________________________________
The value at which the Security
server will start assigning
automatically generated group IDs.
The default is the value of the
highest group ID currently used on
the machine being configured,
incremented by the value of
GID_GAP. Although there is no
restriction that the value of
LOW_GID must be higher than the
machine’s highest group ID, if you
supply a LOW_GID that is less
than or equal to the highest
currently used group ID,
dce_config issues a warning
message and prompts the user to
reenter LOW_GID. Used in master
Security server configuration.
LOW_GID
____________________________________________________________
The value at which the Security
Server will start assigning
automatically generated UNIX IDs.
The default is the value of the
LOW_UID
