dcelocal/dce_cf.db
The machine's local DCE configuration file (where dcelocal is usually something like /opt/dcelocal).
The format of the configuration file is as follows.
Each of the entries is tagged with its own identifier, which must be the first nonblank token on a line that does not begin with a # (number sign) comment character. The second token on a line is assumed to be the name associated with the tag that was detected in front of it.
For example, cellname and hostname are tags, identifying the cellname and hostname, respectively, for the machine on which the configuration file is located. A sample configuration file could have the following contents:
cellname /.../osf.org
hostname hosts/brazil
which would identify the host brazil in the osf.org cell.
Text characterized by the following is ignored:
· Garbage lines; that is, lines that do not conform to the previously described format.
· Leading and trailing spaces in lines.
· Additional tokens appearing on a line after the second token.
The configuration file should be writeable only by privileged users, and readable by all.
