secval ping

Validates the credentials returned by a DCE security service. The syntax is:

secval ping [host_name_list]

Description
The secval ping operation validates the credentials returned by a DCE security service. This is expected to be a rarely invoked routine, but could be used to verify that secd is trusted. Returns 1 if the credentials are valid and 0 if not. The optional host_name_list argument is a list of one or more names of host systems whose security validation systems you want to validate. If the argument is a list of host names, then a list is returned, with a 1 or a 0 for each server.

Privileges Required
No special privileges are needed to use the secval ping command.
