hostvar set

hostvar set {-secbinarycompat {on | off}
[-krbccachevno version_number] [-krbktvno version_number]}

Options

-secbinarycompat
Sets the security binary compatibility variable on or off. This cannot be used with the -krbccachevno and -krbktvno options.

-krbccachevno
Sets the Kerberos V5 credential cache filed version number format.

-krbktvno
Sets the Kerberos V5 keytab file version number format.

Description
Under normal circumstances, secbinarycompat is set to on when DCE is configured, which allows binary compatibility between Version 1.2 and Versions 1.0.3 and 1.1. Binary compatibility allows applications linked with an archived libdce to share login contexts and credentials without loss of data.

You can disable binary compatibility on a per-host basis to achieve minor performance gains and slightly smaller credentials files by setting secbinarycompat to off. If you enable binary compatibility after it has been disabled, you must start and stop all DCE daemons. This operation returns an empty string on success.

The -krbccachevno and -krbktvno attributes are set to 1 when DCE is configured to allow compatibility with DCE 1.0.3 based applications and older Kerberos V5 applications. Depending on certain compatibility requirements, you may choose to change the values of the attributes. See the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components for more information about Kerberos 5 attributes.

Privileges Required
No special privileges are required to use the hostvar set command.
