The dce_config log File

In addition to being displayed on the screen, messages are also written to the dce_config log file, /tmp/dce_config.log. As with the screen displays, you can control the type of messages logged in the file using the environment variables described in Customizing the dce_config Processing. By default, the log file is named dce_config.log and resides in the tmp directory. You can specify a different name and location with the LOGFILE environment variable described in Customizing the dce_config Processing.

A part of a sample log file is shown in the following figure.

Note that the sample is in four basic sections:

· The first section displays the name of the machine being configured (indicated by host_name)

· The second section displays the dce_config version number (indicated by version_num) and time and date dce_config was run (indicated by date_and_time).

· The third section shows the settings of the environment variables described in Customizing the dce_config Processing.

· The final section shows a portion of the actual messages produced during a machine configuration
