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.

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.
