OSF DCE Administration Guide—Introduction

6.1 Starting the dce_conﬁg Script

To start the dce_conﬁg script, perform the following steps:

1. Login as root to the machine on which you are installing or conﬁguring DCE. You

cannot install or conﬁgure machines remotely.

2. If necessary, copy the /etc directory from the distribution media by performing the

following steps:

a. Use the cd command to move to the /opt/dce directory.

cd /opt/dce

b. Use the tar command to copy the dce1.1/etc directory from the tape.

tar -xvf media device dce1.1/etc

3. Invoke dce_conﬁg by typing:

dce_conﬁg -i

and pressing <RETURN>.

The -i option tells dce_conﬁg to look in the current directory (which should be

/opt/dce1.1/etc) for the component scripts it needs to run. After you have invoked

dce_conﬁg once with the -i option, you do not need to use the option again.

Note: On machines running OSF/1 Release 1.1.1 only, you must invoke

dce_conﬁg as an argument to ksh for the return function to work

correctly. To do this, type ksh dce_conﬁg and press <RETURN>.

This is not necessary for OSF/1 Release 1.2.

4. The dce_conﬁg script displays the DCE Main Menu, which lists all the functions

you can perform with dce_conﬁg.

1. INSTALL -install dce software

2. CONFIGURE -configure and start DCE daemons

3. START -re-start DCE daemons
