| ## Starting the Master Replica After dce_config creates the master replica, it starts the master replica. To start the master replica (secd) explicitly, use the following steps: 1. Log in as root on the machine that will run the master replica. 2. Use ps to ensure that a dced is running on the machine. If one is not, start one. To do so, ensure you are root and enter dceshared/bin/dced 3. Start the master replica by entering dcelocal/bin/secd Set up secd so that it starts automatically when the machine is rebooted. ##
