As has already been pointed out, SMAPI provides the way (e.g. smaclient) for a Linux guest to interface with the directory manager, including updates. Without a directory manager and SMAPI, depending on how far out on a limb you want to go, you can maintain USER DIRECT source in Linux and then use vmur to punch the file to an SVM that will receive it, fix-up any LRECL/RECFM issues, and run DIRECTXA. In case of emergency, you can always logon to the SVM and play with USER DIRECT there. The truly adventurous might want to try their hand at porting DIRECTXA (HCPDIR) to Linux. :-) Alan Altmark Senior Managing z/VM and Linux Consultant IBM System Lab Services and Training ibm.com/systems/services/labservices office: 607.429.3323 mobile; 607.321.7556 [email protected] IBM Endicott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/
