Only OSF members are allowed to subscribe to the
dce-talk@osf.org and sig-dce@osf.org mailing lists. There are,
however, three newsgroups available to the general public that
frequently contain DCE-related posts: comp.soft-sys.dce,
comp.client-server, and comp.unix.osf.misc. John Mauney's DCE
FAQ containing basic information is posted periodically on
these newsgroups. The comp.protocols.kerberos newsgroup deals
with Kerberos issues.
The OSF can be contacted via e-mail and also maintains a Web
page. The OSF home page
contains information on:
- DCE, including RPC source code, new V1.1 technology,
pricing, and a DCE Q & A page
- OSF technology data sheets, case studies, and white
papers
- DCE user groups
- DCE conferences, joint work, etc.
- the OSF Research Institute
- OSF Customer Service
- the DCE Product Catalog
- Project Pilgrim
- DCE RFCs
DCE
RFCs are "requests for comments" for ongoing DCE
development. They are similar to the Internet RFCs and are a
formal way to share ideas with other DCE development partners.
These are also available via ftp from machine grabbag.osf.org
(Login as dce-rfc, use the password dce-rfc, and look in the
directory dce-rfc).
