Description
The host configure operation configures a single machine named by the host_name argument into a DCE cell. The cell must already exist and must have a security and naming service operating. The DCE software must already be installed on the machine. The host_name argument is the name of the local host machine without the cell name prepended, as in the following:

hosts/hostname

This operation returns an empty string on success.

Privileges Required
You must have root authority.

Examples
The following example configures host hydra in the cell /.../my_cell.goodco.com.

dcecp> host configure /.../my_cell.goodco.com/hosts/hydra -client \
-cell my_cell.goodco.com -password fstzkl -secmaster scylla \
-cds charybdis
