Configuring Cells Using dce_config

The following procedures explain how to configure server and client systems using the menu-driven dce_config tool. The text shows the complete menu at its first occurrence; thereafter it shows only the menu name and current selection, prompts, and recommended input values (in boldface).

As you perform each step, various status messages are displayed. This document shows only the prompts; it may not show all status messages.

Note that this section assumes a basic familiarity with DCE terms and concepts, as described in the manual Introduction to DCE.

The following sections include complete information on configuring cells using the dce_config script.

Starting dce_config

1.Log in as root on the system you want to configure.

2.Run dce_config.

The DCE Main Menu is displayed.

dce_config is not capable of configuring (but is capable of unconfiguring) systems remotely. System configuration must be done locally on each client/server system. When running dce_config, you must always log in on the system you want to configure.
