DCE uses the following standard UNIX directories.

• /etc/zoneinfo

This directory contains copies of the templates, which are modiﬁed, if necessary,

from the dceshared/etc/zoneinfo directory.

Note: Preexisting ﬁles can be modiﬁed on the local system. Be careful not to

overwrite them during the installation procedure.

• /krb5

This directory contains Kerberos conﬁguration ﬁles for the conventional krb5

environment. Symbolic links exist to appropriate ﬁles in dcelocal/etc. This directory

has write permission for the local system administrator only.

• /usr/bin

This directory contains utilities for application programmers and DCE users. Most of

these are symbolic links that point to dceshared/bin. Some utilities, such as login

and su, can actually be local copies that are needed for performance and high

availability. On server machines, copies of the respective executables are sometimes

necessary for the initialization of the system.

• /usr/include/dce

This directory contains DCE header ﬁles. This directory is a symbolic link to

dceshared/share/include/dce.

• /usr/lib

This directory contains libdce.a, which is a symbolic link to dceshared/lib/libdce.a.
