OSF DCE Administration Guide--Introduction

OSF DCE Administration Guide—Introduction
The dcecp program, which is the overall administration tool for DCE, has functions for
administering the DCE services except that it does not perform certain operations on
CDS clerks and severs and does not maintain local registries. Also, you cannot use the
program to administer GDS and DFS.
The dcecp program is included in all of the DCE server software packages, except GDS
and DFS.
3.3.2 DCE RPC Administration Programs
The rpccp program, which is the RPC-specific administrative tool, allows you to browse,
update, add, and delete the DCE RPC attributes of entries stored in the CDS namespace
and the endpoints that are managed by local and remote dced daemons.
3.3.3 Security Service Administration Programs
The Security Service provides the following administration utilities:
• The sec_create_db utility creates the Security database and sets up some
configuration files.
• The sec_salvage_db command helps you recover from possible program errors and
data corruption. The sec_salvage_db command applies internal consistency checks
to the Security database (registry) and fixes internal data structure problems. You
can also use sec_salvage_db to generate an ASCII version of the registry that can be
edited and reconstructed, if necessary.
• The acl_edit command displays, adds, modifies, and deletes ACL entries for a
specific object.
• The rgy_edit command allows you to edit the Security database or the local registry.
• The passwd_import command allows you create registry entries based on the group
and password files from machines that do not implement DCE Security.
• The passwd_export command allows you to update the UNIX /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files with current user information obtained from the registry.
• The passwd_override file allows you to establish overrides to the information
contained in the registry.
• The sec_admin command helps you manage server replicas of the registry, change
the master server site, and reinitialize a slave server.
