DCE Cell Administration -- AIX

DCE Cell Administration -- AIX



Both configuring and unconfiguring can be done in smit, but I
find this pretty easy.

================================

-->  Making an AIX 4.x box a DCE client:

#aixclienthost% mkdce -n u.washington.edu -s strunk -c strunk rpc cds_cl sec_cl


Enter password for DCE account cell_admin: 

Configuring RPC Endpoint Mapper (rpc)...
RPC Endpoint Mapper (rpc) configured successfully

Configuring Security Client (sec_cl)...
Security Client (sec_cl) configured successfully

Configuring CDS Clerk (cds_cl)...
Waiting (up to 2 minutes) for cdsadv to find a CDS server.
Found a CDS server.

        Modifying acls on hosts/homer01/profile
        Modifying acls on /.:/lan-profile

CDS Clerk (cds_cl) configured successfully

Current state of DCE configuration:
cds_cl       COMPLETE   CDS Clerk
rpc          COMPLETE   RPC Endpoint Mapper
sec_cl       COMPLETE   Security Client



and you see that mkdce is nice enough to give you an lsdce at the
end, i.e.

#aixclienthost% lsdce
Current state of DCE configuration:
cds_cl       COMPLETE   CDS Clerk
rpc          COMPLETE   RPC Endpoint Mapper
sec_cl       COMPLETE   Security Client



================================

-->  Unconfiguring an AIX 4.x box as a DCE client:

#aixclienthost% rmdce -o full all_cl

Enter password for DCE account cell_admin: 

Unconfiguring CDS Clerk (cds_cl)...
CDS Clerk (cds_cl) unconfigured successfully

Unconfiguring Security Client (sec_cl)...
Security Client (sec_cl) unconfigured successfully

Unconfiguring RPC Endpoint Mapper (rpc)...
RPC Endpoint Mapper (rpc) unconfigured successfully

Current state of DCE configuration:
No components are configured


-->   Another way to unconfigure clients

  #clienthost%  rmdce -o local  specific_client
  #anycellhost%  rmdce -o admin -h clienthost specific_client

"specific_client" could be "all", "sec_cl", or some other client.

This will do what a "rmdce -o full specific_client" on clienthost itself
would do -- but it hung, and the above separate commands
worked.
