2269.0. "dfs: auth helper not running; running unauthenticated" by CSC32::M_MENKHUS (Mark Menkhus (719)531-5853 @home)) Mon Jun 02 1997 20:29

    Hi,
    
    I have a customer using dce 2.0 on a 4.0b UNIX hosts.  The DFS files
    that were once available suddenly are inaccessable.  The get an error
    when they try to access them and I was not able to explain what was
    going on.

    Here is what the customer is seeing:  
    When I try to look at directories and files in DFS
    
    copious.llnl.gov> cd proj
    dfs: auth helper not running; running unauthenticated.
    
    Here are the DFS messages in /var/adm/messages

2269.1try restarting dfsbind.TUXEDO::WIENERTue Jun 03 1997 14:074
The first error code that is seen is 382312711, which means "Helper process
catatonic".  Restarting the dfsbind should clear this up.

    I had guessed that the dfsbind was the culprit, but I am _truly_
    ignorant about this.  How do you restart dfsbind?
    
    In the OSF DFS Administration guide Chapter 5, page 5-1, it implies
    that the dfsbind needs special considerations or DCE completely
    restarted. How do you do this?

You need to be "superuser" to kill and restart dfsbind.

    Mark,
    
    I know that their server is an IBM.  If they are running v1.3 of IBM
    DFS, they need to ask IBM support for the 'PMT' patch to IBM DCE v1.3. 
    The error that is indicative of this problem is:
    
    dfs: dce errors (code 663076884) from the fx server xx.xx.xx.xx in cell
