About HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7

 

HP DCE Administration Tools

 

The Account Manager requires a bit-mapped display; it does not run on

NOTE

 

ASCII terminals. Also, small bit-mapped displays (such as some PC

 

displays), which may cut off portions of dialog boxes, are unsupported.

 

Running the Account Manager

 

 

If you are running the Account Manager locally, you do not need to set

 

the DISPLAY environment variable ($DISPLAY). If you are running the

 

Account Manager from a remote machine, however, use the following

 

command to set the DISPLAY environment variable to the local

 

machine:

 

export DISPLAY=localhostname:0.0

 

If $DISPLAY is not set, the following warning displays:

 

Warning: You are viewing the Account Manager using a remote X

 

display. Passwords and other confidential information will pan

 

over the network in clear text, and may be seen by network pirates.

 

You may wish to exit the Account Manager and run it from a local X

 

display.

 

Start the Account Manager with the following command:

 

/opt/dce/bin/acctmgr

 

If you want to perform privileged operations (such as registry

 

modifications) with the Account Manager, you must run the Account

 

Manager as the DCE cell_admin principal.

 

The Account Manager can also be started as follows from SAM:

 

1. Log in as root.

 

2. Execute sam from a shell prompt.

 

3. Select (double click on) DCE Cell Management.

 

4. Select (double click on) DCE Account Manager.
