• The newaggr command can format a raw disk partition for use as a DCE LFS

aggregate.

• The dfsexport command makes DCE LFS aggregates and non-LFS partitions

available to remote users through use of the File Exporter.

3.3.8 Programs for DCE Remote Administration Machines

You may decide to conﬁgure a machine for the remote administration of the DCE

servers. The administration utilities that need to be installed, in addition to the DCE

client software, are the following:

• The cdscp program for controlling certain operations on CDS clerks and servers.

• The rgy_edit program for maintaining local copies of the Registry.

• The passwd_override, sec_admin, sec_create_db, and sec_salvage_db programs

must be installed for Security service administration.

• The gdsditadm and gdscp for GDS administration.

• The bak, bos, cm, dfsexport, fts, newaggr, salvage, scout programs for DFS

administration.

No software other than the dcecp program and the DCE client software is needed for

administering DCE RPC or DTS.

3.4 Application Development Environment Machine

A DCE machine can also be conﬁgured for the development of DCE applications. This

involves adding to the basic DCE client conﬁguration several include (.h) and interface

speciﬁcation (.idl) ﬁles, along with the idl program.
