Err, why? We already have a heterogeneous Unix LDAP solution that serves our virtual linux, distributed linux, solaris, and AIX systems. Note that our Z hosted linux guests are only about 1/4 of the total number of these. Why in the world would we want to segregate our z/Linux security to a completely separate security system than all the rest of our unix and linux? - -- Pat -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknuRBIACgkQNObCqA8uBsw8iQCgjLkgDO0XqNf9TVVE8pZ0vZ57 sA0An2IjaONzIOePC8buZqBakjG6DFzp =F0eJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
