DESCRIPTION

The rpc_ns_mgmt_entry_delete() routine removes an RPC entry from the name service database.

Note:

Management applications use this routine only when an entry is no longer needed, such as when a server is permanently removed from service. If the entry is a member of a group or profile, it must also be deleted from the group or profile.

Permissions Required

The application needs read permission for the target name service entry. The application also needs delete permission for the entry or for the parent directory.

RETURN VALUE

None.
