are automatically generated by the Security Service

when a group is added using "rgy_edit": (126)

7. Type a UNIX ID number that will be used as the group UNIX ID at which the

Security server will start assigning automatically generated group UNIX IDs and

press <RETURN>. The default is the value of the highest group UNIX ID on the

machine incremented by the value of the UID_GAP environment variable.

Although the value you supply is not required to be higher than the machine’s

highest group UNIX ID, if you supply a value that is less than or equal to the

highest currently used group UNIX ID, dce_conﬁg issues a warning message and

prompts you to reenter the UNIX ID.

The dce_conﬁg script starts the secd server and initializes the registry database.

As it does, it displays:

S:****** Starting secd...

S:****** Checking for active sec_client service...

S:****** Initializing the registry database...

When the master Security server conﬁguration is complete, dce_conﬁg returns the

Initial Cell Conﬁguration menu.

8.7.3 Conﬁguring the Initial CDS Server

The initial CDS server must in place for cell operation and before any of the cell’s client

machines are conﬁgured. Other additional CDS servers can conﬁgured on client

machines.

To conﬁgure the Initial CDS server:

1. At the Initial Cell Conﬁguration menu, type 2 and press <RETURN>.

The dce_conﬁg script displays the following messages:

S:****** Configuring initial CDS Server...

S:****** Checking for active sec_client service...

Then, the dce_conﬁg script prompts:

Create LAN profile so clients and servers can be divided into profile

groups for higher performance in a multi-LAN cell? (n)

2. At this point you have two choices:

a. Type y to conﬁgure the machine with multiple local area network (LAN)

capabilities and press <RETURN>. You may want to use multiple LANs to

organize how applications ﬁnd objects in the namespace. When you respond

y, the dce_conﬁg script creates a LAN proﬁle that allows the DTS clerks to

synchronize with DTS servers on the local LAN.
