Exactly why it needs to be addressed. 8-) That thing is such an enormous PITA that everyone struggles with it. I wish IBM had taken me up on fixing the Linux-based one; it was a heck of a lot easier to install and support, and we'd have full crypto offload support by now. http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/HUGENBRU/SSL540.PDF has a fair cookbook to setting it up; maybe you could get the author to abstract it into some text, or just put a pointer in to that doc? > I've even started that task and have run into a small issue.

No, you need to generate it, since IUCV connectivity is only useful on the same VM system or within a VM SSI cluster. See help output or the top of the script. I'll talk to Leland about shipping a prebuilt one, though -- no need to force a toolchain install if not needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
