Configuring GDA in a DNS Cell

1. Ensure that the machine being configured has access to the named daemon through resolv.conf.

2. Obtain the output of the dcecp directory show/.: command.

3. Register the cell information enumerated by the dcecp directory show /.: command with the named daemon (which is the server that controls DNS name resolution).

4. Restart the named daemon.

In a DNS cell, you can run the gdad daemon in the following modes:

DNS gdad -x

X.500 gdad -b

Both DNS and X.500 gdad

For information about starting and stopping gdad, and how to use the output of dcecp directory show/.:, see the OSF DCE GDS Administration Guide and Reference.
