Setting Environment Variables

You can set the variables in any of the three following ways:

· As shell environment variables

· In an environment file that you create for use with the -e option of the dce_config script

· In a file named dce_config.conf that you create (in the /etc directory) for use by the dce_config script

If you invoke dce_config with the -e option and provide the name of the environment file, dce_config sources this file. If you invoke dce_config without the -e option, dce_config tries to source the file named dce_config.conf. If the file does not exist, it uses your shell variable settings to provide answers to the prompts. If you have not set your shell variables, dce_config prompts for information it needs.

The dce_com_env file sets the internal variables for the dce_config and for the dfs_config component script. The dce_config_env file describes the variables you can set, Note that the log file produced by the message logging facility also lists the current settings of the environment variables.

The following topics describe the dce_config and dfs_config variables.
