Package: hercules Version: 3.06-1.3 Severity: normal Justification: scary to novices
So I decided to give s390 a try, following the instructions in </usr/share/doc/hercules/giving_s_390_a_try.html>. | # as root: | addgroup tun | dpkg-statoverride --add --update root tun 04750 /usr/bin/hercifc | chown root:tun /dev/net/tun | chmod g+w /dev/net/tun | adduser jrn tun Not so happy about making that setuid, but for debugging’s sake, I am following that guide as closely as is practical. | # log in as jrn | mkdir s390 | cd s390 | for i in debian.exec initrd.debian kernel.debian parmfile.debian script | do | wget http://people.debian.org/~fjp/d-i/s390/images/daily/generic/$i | done | cat <<\EOF >hercules.cnf | CPUSERIAL 002623 | CPUMODEL 3090 | MAINSIZE 64 | CODEPAGE default | XPNDSIZE 0 | #CNSLPORT 3270 | #HTTPPORT 8081 noauth userid password | #HTTPROOT /usr/share/hercules/ | NUMCPU 1 | LOADPARM 0120.... | OSTAILOR LINUX | PANRATE SLOW | ARCHMODE ESA/390 | | 000C 3505 kernel.debian parmfile.debian initrd.debian autopad eof | 0120 3390 dasd0 | 0A00 3088 CTCI /dev/net/tun 1500 192.168.42.1 192.168.42.2 255.255.255.0 | 0A01 3088 CTCI /dev/net/tun 1500 192.168.42.1 192.168.42.2 255.255.255.0 | EOF Not sure what the debian.exec is supposed to be used for.

Maybe I should have set /dev/net/tun to be g+r as well, which case giving_s_390_a_try.html should be clarified. I’d be happy to write a patch to do so. But I am hoping this should not matter too much. | # HHCCF069I Run-options enabled for this run: | # NUMCPU: 1 | # ASN-and-LX-reuse: DISabled | # DIAG8CMD: DISabled | # HHCCP002I CPU0000 thread started: tid=B30B6B70, pid=23414, priority=15 | # HHCTT001W Timer thread set priority -20 failed: Permission denied Because I am not running hercules as root.
