| >What is CDS advertiser for ?
The advertiser has several tasks, depending on the OS:
- Initialize clerk cache, flush cache to disk
- Solicits and broadcasts CDS server advertisements on the LAN
- Manages CDS clerk entity (clerk counters, cached servers, disable)
- On UNIX, creates cdsclerk processes for user
>How CDS advertiser works ?
Hopefully very well ;^) If you have a specific question on one of the
above tasks, please ask. As with most DCE daemons, it is multithreaded
and makes DCE RPC and security calls as it is a DCE application as well.

Thanks, Roger.
>- On UNIX, creates cdsclerk processes for user
I am using Digital DCE v1.1 on WindowsNT 4.0 now.
I suppose that CDS clerk process is not up on WNT.
How CDS advertiser works on WindowsNT 4.0 ?
I have one more question.
Does rpcss process (Remote Procedure Call Service) on WNT perform
same part as rpcd on Unix(endpoint mapper) ?

DCE on NT uses an inline CDS clerk (part of libdce.dll), so the
clerk code is running in the address space of the DCE application.
Also, instead of one clerk cache (on UNIX), it is divided into
a global shared cache and private user caches. Other than
these differences, the CDS advertiser on NT still performs the
duties listed in .1.

Yes, rpcss is Microsoft's endpoint mapper, which DCE uses.
