how to disable the dce from starting in boot time

[AlNa]

Hi

i wanted to know how can i diable the dce ?
i have move the file from the /sbin/init.d
but i want to know how to diable it on a config file of the dce .

[Stefan Farrelly]

change it in /etc/rc.config.d/dce

This is the correct way to stop/start a service.

[Massimo Bianchi]

config file is in

/etc/rc.config.d/dce

See if there is something there for you.

In the /etc/rc.config.d/dce file, the configuration flags could be set to zero.

dce can be stopped from /etc/rc.config.d/dce file.

The 0 flag tells not to start and 1 tells to start the daemon at boot time.

Also have a look at /etc/rc.config.d/Rpcd file This also starts some dce process. This is basically required during Openview installtion.

Goodluck.

Hi

if you will edit this file you will see this lines :

# WARNING: This script should not be manually edited !!!
# The DCE system management tools maintain this file
# to reflect the current DCE configuration of this system.
# DO NOT MODIFY THIS SCRIPT !!!

Hi

also i can see that the flag is set to zero but still in the rc.log of the boot time i can see that the dce is starting .

any more ideas ?

Hello, Alice.

Go to /sbin/rc2.d directory and issue the command:

mv S570dce s570dce

Have you noticed the lowercase "s" in this command?

When you change the initial "S" (or "K") in the scripts present at this directory, the startup scripts of HP-UX will pass over them and won't run those you change - in this case, the S570dce script which has been renamed to s570dce.

For more information regarding the security of your HP-UX installation, see
