OSF DCE Administration Guide--Introduction

Installing DCE

7.2.2.4 Verifying the Ethernet Address

During installation, you may receive the following prompt to verify the machine’s 12-

digit hexadecimal Ethernet address:

The following IEEE 802 address has already

been entered for this machine:

0000c0eac744

Is this correct? (y)

You will receive this prompt under any of the following conditions:

• If you are installing DCE for the ﬁrst time

• If you have used the dce_conﬁg REMOVE option to stop DCE daemons and remove

any data ﬁles associated with those daemons.

To answer the prompt, you have two choices:

• If the displayed address is correct, press <RETURN>.

• If the displayed address is incorrect,

1. Type n and press <RETURN>.

The dce_conﬁg script prompts for the correct address.

Enter your machine’s IEEE 802 address as a

12 digit hex number (for example, 08002B0F59BB):

2. Type the correct address and press <RETURN>.

The dce_conﬁg script continues the installation.

Note: If dce_conﬁg cannot obtain the machine’s Ethernet address, it will prompt

for the address without displaying an address to verify.

7.2.2.5 Installing OSF/1 Shared Libraries — For OSF/1 Machines Only

If you are installing DCE on an OSF/1 platform, the dce_conﬁg script prompts for

whether or not to install lib_admin, a tool to install and load the OSF/1 shared libraries,

by displaying:

Run /sbin/lib_admin? (y)

Type y to install the OSF/1 shared libraries or n to not install the libraries and press

<RETURN>. dce_conﬁg continues with the installation. If you plan to conﬁgure DCE,

you should answer yes to this question.
