OSF DCE Administration Guide--Introduction

Installing DCE

The dce_conﬁg script then prompts for the location of the message catlaogs:

Enter the directory into which message catalogs

should be stored on the local machine

(/usr/lib/nls/C):

4. Type the full pathname name of the directory in which the DCE message catalogs

should be stored and press <RETURN>. Alternatively you can simply press

<RETURN> to accept the default. Note that the actual default directory depends

on the operating system on your machine.

If your machine has an existing /etc/zoneinfo directory, dce_conﬁg displays the

following prompt:

The DCE version of the zoneinfo data files has been

installed in /opt/dcelocal/etc/zoneinfo. You may need

to replace /etc/zoneinfo with a link to this directory

for the DCE time component to work correctly.

Press <RETURN> to continue, CTRL-C to exit:

This prompt is to remind you that you must replace the existing zoneinfo directory

with a link to the newly installed DCE zoneinfo directory. You can do this after

the installation completes.

5. To continue the installation, press <RETURN> at the prompt.

If you are installing DCE on the OSF/1 reference platform and the

/etc/ieee_802_addr ﬁle exists, the dce_conﬁg script prompts you 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)

The dce_conﬁg script takes the displayed address from the Ethernet card or from

the /etc/ieee_802_addr ﬁle. If the script cannot obtain the Ethernet address, it

will prompt for it.

At this point, you have two choices:

a. Press <RETURN> if the displayed address is correct.

b. If the displayed address is incorrect, 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 (e.g. 08002B0F59BB):

Type the correct address and press <RETURN>.

The dce_conﬁg script completes the installation and returns the DCE Installation

Menu.
