Specifying the Removal of Previous Configurations
When you configure your cell initially, by selecting items from the Initial Cell Configuration menu, or when you configure DCE clients or DFS clients, you may receive the following prompt:
Do you wish to first remove all remnants of
previous DCE configurations for all components (y/n)?
You should do so if you plan on re-configuring
all existing
DCE components now.
This prompt appears once in each dce_config session. This means that once you answer it, it will not appear again unless you exit dce_config and then restart dce_config. The prompt asks whether or not you want to remove the previous DCE configurations.
To answer the prompt, you have two choices:
· Type n and press <Return> if any of the following are true:
- This the first time you have configured DCE on the machine or you removed the previous configuration with the REMOVE option
- If you are reconfiguring only some of the components
· Type y and press <Return> if you are reconfiguring all components.
If you enter y, dce_config stops all DCE daemons and deletes any data files associated with the daemons. It displays messages telling you what it is doing while it does it.
