NCLHELP.HLB  —  show  dns  server  counters
 o  authentication failures

    Specifies the number of times a requesting principal failed
    authentication procedures.

 o  child pointer update failures

    Specifies the number of times the server background process was
    unable to contact all the clearinghouses where a replica of a
    particular child directory's parent directory is stored, and was
    therefore unable to apply the child updates that have occurred
    since the last skulk.  This counter increases by one at each
    occurrence of the Cannot Update Child Pointer event.

 o  creation time

    Specifies the time when the DECdns server entity was created.

 o  crucial replica removals backed out

    Specifies the number of times a user attempted (from this server)
    to remove a replica that is crucial to the connectivity of a
    directory hierarchy. The server background process prevents users
    from accidentally disconnecting lower-level directories from
    higher-level directories. When it detects an attempt to remove a
    crucial replica, it will not execute the command to do so. This
    counter increases by one at each occurrence of the Crucial
    Replica event.

 o  incompatible protocol errors

    Accounts for the total number of requests received by this server
    from a clerk running an incompatible protocol version. A server can
    communicate with any clerk running the same protocol version, or
    the version previous to the one it is running. This counter increases
    by one at each occurrence of the Incompatible Request event.

 o  possible cycles

    Specifies the number of times this server followed a chain and
    encountered an entry already in the chain. For example, a soft link
    is created that points to a series of links that eventually point
    back to the first link, or a group which is a member of itself.
    This counter increases by one at occurrence of the Possible Cycles
    event.

 o  read accesses

    Specifies the number of read operations directed to this DECdns
    server.

 o  security failures

    Specifies the number of times the Security Failures event was
    generated. This counter is increased whenever a DECdns server has
    insufficient access rights to a directory or object to perform
    either a client-requested action or a background operation.

 o  skulks completed

    Specifies the number of skulks that were successfully completed by
    this DECdns server.

 o  Skulks Initiated

    Specifies the number of skulks that were initiated by this DECdns
    server.

 o  times loopup paths broken

    Specifies the number of broken connections between clearinghouses
    on this server and clearinghouses closer to the root. Incoming
    requests to this server that require a downward lookup in the
    directory hierarchy may still succeed, but requests requiring
    lookup in directories closer to the root will fail. This counter
    increases by one at each occurrence of the Broken Lookup Paths event.

 o  write accesses

    Specifies the number of write operations to this DECdns server.
