NAME
       dced - DCE Host daemon

SYNOPSIS
       dced [-ifhr] [-w route] [-t Interval] [-b|-p|-s] [-e|prot_seq...]

       rpcd [-f] [-t Interval] [prot_seq...]

OPTIONS
       Prints  the  dced  usage and exits.  Initializes the dced databases and
       ACLs and exits.	If the databases exist, this option displays an error.
       See  the	 list of databases in the FILES section.  Starts dced in boot‐
       strap mode with the endpoint mapper service and ACLs.  This mode	 means
       it  may	need to wait for other daemons such as secd and cdsd before it
       can perform its own initialization.  Starts dced so it does not require
       DCE privacy encryption for remote key table management.	The default is
       to use DCE privacy encryption.  DCE  Privacy  encryption	 is  supported
       only  by	 the  Domestic	(United States and Canada) versions of the DCE
       library and dced.  If the Export version of dced	 is  run  without  -c,
       then  remote  key table management is in effect disabled; if the Export
       dced is run with -c, then remote key table management is enabled.  How‐
       ever, running either version of dced with -c is insecure and not recom‐
       mended, because remote key table management without privacy  encryption
       allows  an eavesdropper to learn the long-term key of a service princi‐
       pal and thus to compromise the security of  services  running  as  that
       principal.  Starts dced without the endpoint mapper service.  No proto‐
       col sequences are valid for this	 option.   Starts  the	dced  or  rpcd
       process	in  the	 foreground.  The default is to run in the background.
       Purges the existing machine  context  and  removes  the	bindings  file
       before  starting.  Starts dced in remote-update mode.  This mode allows
       DCE cell administration tasks to be performed by an administrator on  a
       remote machine.	By default, dced prevents any remote administration to
       help prevent attacks by a malicious administrators.  Starts dced	 with‐
       out  the	 security validation service.  Sets time interval between suc‐
       cessive execution of endpoint scavenger.	 Changes  the  permissions  of
       the  error,  warning,  fatal logfiles in the /var/opt/dce/svc directory
       from  0644  to	0666.	This   also   changes	the   permissions   of
       /var/opt/dce/svc	 directory  from  0744	to 0777.  Sets the routing for
       serviceability.

ARGUMENTS
       Establishes the serviceability routing for dced's messages.   Specifies
       the RPC protocol sequences that dced or rpcd will use.  Possible values
       include ncadg_ip_udp (for a datagram protocol) and ncacn_ip_tcp (for  a
       connection-based	 protocol).  A complete list of the protocol sequences
       recognized can be found in dce/ep.idl.	Time  interval	(greater  than
       zero)   in   minutes   between  successive  endpoint  scavenger	opera‐
       tion.Default time interval is 30 minutes.

DESCRIPTION
       The DCE Host daemon is a process that provides services for  the	 local
       host,  and  is  also  the  server used by remote applications to access
       these host services.

       The daemon can be invoked either as dced or as rpcd.  When  invoked  as
       dced,  it  provides by default all of the services described below, and
       it requires that the local host be configured into a  DCE  cell.	  When
       invoked	as  rpcd, it provides only the Endpoint Mapper and Local Loca‐
       tion Broker services that were provided by rpcd in earlier versions  of
       DCE;  The rpcd mode does not require that the host be configured into a
       DCE cell, so this is a simple alternative for hosts that run Networking
       Computing System (NCS) applications or DCE RPC-only applications.

       The DCE Host daemon services include the following: The endpoint mapper
       service maintains a database called the local endpoint map which allows
       DCE  clients  to find servers, individual services provided by servers,
       and objects managed by services on the host.  The endpoint mapper  ser‐
       vice maps interfaces, object UUIDs, and protocol sequence registrations
       to server ports (endpoints).  Servers register their bindings with  the
       local  endpoint	mapper,	 and  the endpoint mapper service on each host
       uses the local endpoint map to locate a compatible server  for  clients
       that  do	 not  already  know  the endpoint of a compatible server.  The
       local location broker service maintains a database called the LLB data‐
       base,  which  allows NCS clients to find NCS servers on the host.  This
       service was provided by rpcd in earlier versions of DCE and by llbd  in
       NCS.   The  host	 data management service maintains local files of host
       data  that   include   (among   others)	 the   host_name,   cell_name,
       cell_aliases,  and  a  post_processors  file.  The post_processors file
       contains program names matched with the other host data items  (UUIDs).
       The  dced  runs	the  program  if  the  corresponding host data item is
       changed.	 There may also be host-specific data files.  The server  man‐
       agement service maintains data that describes the startup configuration
       (srvrconf) and execution state (srvrexec) for each server.  It also has
       the  functionality  to  start or stop particular servers, and enable or
       disable specific services of servers.  The security validation  service
       acts as the client side of the security server by assuring applications
       that the DCE Security daemon (secd) that the host is using  is  legiti‐
       mate.   In  addition,  this  service performs a DCE login for the local
       machine principal when dced is invoked, and  it	automatically  updates
       the  local  machine principal's keys.  The key table management service
       allows for remote maintenance of server's key tables (keytab files).

       The DCE Host daemon must be running before any other DCE-based  servers
       are started. Each DCE host must run only a single dced, and it must run
       with root privileges  since  it	typically  listens  on	privileged  or
       reserved network ports.	Typically, dced starts each time a host boots.
       (A file called /etc/rc.dce is responsible for configuration issues such
       as deleting the endpoint map database and starting dced.)

       By default, the DCE Host daemon listens on one well-known port for each
       RPC protocol sequence (that is, each combination of an RPC protocol and
       a  transport protocol) supported by the host on which it is running.  A
       prot_seq argument lets you limit the protocol sequences on  which  dced
       listens.
