- What is DCE/DFS? Why is UMIACS moving to it?
- The Distributed Computing Environment/Distributed File System allows for centralized management of passwords and files. Levels of redundancy can be built into core services to prevent outages when a server goes offline. From the user perspective you will be given an identical environment no matter what UMIACS supported solaris box you log into.
- Why does my login stop working after 2 weeks?
- With DCE you are given a ticket upon login that identifies you to our servers, this ticket has a life-span of two weeks. After the ticket expires you are no longer able to access any files that required you to have a ticket (your home directory, project space, etc). When you logout your ticket also gets destroyed, any processes that need access to your files will be unable to access them.
- To extend the life of your ticket, run the following command:
dce_login -r

kinfo
