Some examples: Write applications that talk to CP basic services (like *RPI) in Linux, allowing one to do things like write authentication servers that talk to PAM and let CP do remote password authentication against AD or Kerberos. Write terminal multiplexing services that can map SSH connections to linemode virtual machine consoles so that we can finally do a decent SSH server for CMS. Write a interface for the existing CMS TCPIP clients to talk to a modern IP stack in a Linux guest instead of the elderly Pascal one that's shipped with VM TCPIP. Implement APPC over IUCV to allow Linux to natively talk to SFS, so we can get a modern NFS server for CMS data. Directly access VM spool data from Linux w/o going through I/O emulation with the virtual rdr/punch via *SPL. The list is pretty much open-ended. Now that someone has written a IUCV interface that the PTBs are willing to accept, we can get on with better VM integration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
