dced(8dce)

The DCE host daemon

Synopsis

dced [-h | -i] [-cfr] [-w route] [-b | -p | -s] [-e | prot_seq ...]

Options

-h
Prints dced usage and exits.

-i
Initializes dced databases and ACLs, and exits. If the databases exist, this option displays an error. See the list of databases in the Files topic.

-c
Starts dced so it does not require DCE privacy encryption for remote key table management. The default is to use DCE privacy encryption.

-f
Starts the dced process in the foreground. The default is for dced to run in the background.

-r
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 malicious administrators.

-w route
Establishes the serviceability routing for dced messages.

-b
Starts the dced process in bootstrap 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.

-p
Purges the existing machine context and removes the bindings file before starting.

-s
Starts dced without the security validation service.

-e
Starts dced without the endpoint mapper service. No protocol sequences are valid for this option.

Arguments

prot_seq
Starts dced by using the specified RPC protocol sequence string or strings. 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.
