About HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7

Notes, Cautions and Warnings Regarding This Release

dcecp secval Change

At HP DCE 1.6, dcecp’s secval activate and secval deactivate commands became asynchronous. They return before the actual change takes place within dced. Therefore, you should use the secval status command to verify the state change. Prior to HP DCE 1.6, secval activate and secval deactivate were synchronous and did not return until the actual state change finished in dced. Although future

HP DCE/9000 releases may reimplement synchronous secval activate and deactivate commands, the verification by secval status is still recommended.

HP DCE/9000 Interoperability with SharedPrint/UX

SharedPrint/UX 1.3 or earlier will not operate with HP DCE/9000.

k5dcelogin Limitation

There is a limitation in the k5dcelogin command when called by rlogin -fto log in to the local node.

If you already have Kerberos credentials on the local node when using rlogin -fto log in, then when you exit or log out, your local Kerberos credentials will be deleted. This is a limitation in k5dcelogin, where the local credentials are deleted on completion of the process.

The workaround is to use rlogin without the -foption when logging in to the local node. When you use rlogin -fto log in to a remote node, k5dcelogin deletes the credentials on the remote system once you exit the remote system; this is intended behavior.
