add entry(1m) add entry(1m)NAME
add entry - Adds a name service entry to the name service database
SYNOPSIS
rpccp add entry entry-name [-s syntax]
OPTIONS
Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional). The only value
for this option is the dce name syntax, which is the default name syn‐
tax. Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, specifying the
-s option is unnecessary.
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the name of the target name service entry. For an entry in
the local cell, you can omit the cell name and specify only the cell-
relative name.
DESCRIPTION
The add entry command adds an unspecialized entry to the name service
database. The name of the entry is required.
The new entry initially contains no NSI attributes. This command cre‐
ates a general name service entry for an application or user. The
application or user can later use the export, add element, and add mem‐
ber commands to make the generic entry into a server entry, a group, or
a profile (or a combination), as follows: For a server entry, specify
the new entry as the target entry for the rpccp export command. For a
group, specify the new entry as the target group for the rpccp add mem‐
ber command. For a profile, specify the new entry as the target pro‐
file for the rpccp add element command.
The add entry command enables administrators to add entries for users
who lack the required permissions. If you have the permissions
required by the add entry command, you can also add an entry using an
export, add member, or add element command; if the entry you specify
does not exist, the command creates the entry.
Privilege Required
To add an entry, you need insert permission to the parent directory and
both read permission and write permission to the CDS object entry (the
target name service entry).
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLES
The following commands start RPCCP and add an unspecialized entry to
the name service database: $ rpccp rpccp> add entry \ >
/.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_2 The following command operates from the
system prompt to add an unspecialized entry to the name service data‐
base: $ rpccp add entry \ > /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_3
