Re: SuSE patch-3858
Mark: I think it's probably referring to z/VM TCP/IP APAR PQ34318. However, that doesn't look to me like the problem you're having. Refer to http://www.vm.ibm.com/related/tcpip/tclnxsvc.html#lxsstack for details about recommended TCP/IP stack service.

Re: IPL device number
Ken, Mark has it posted: http://linuxvm.org/patches/S390/iplvol.sh Here's another chance for me, though, to thank Mark for the great job he does of organizing all of this stuff at linuxvm.org. In thanking Mark for writing the script ( I had been the one who originally asked how this could be done), I mentioned I owed him yet another beer.

SuSE patch-3858
I've applied SuSE kernel patch-3858. When you apply it there is a note that you should be sure that have applied the latest VM APAR.

Re: Migration of NON CDL volumes to new disk array
If you are running under zVM, then you can use DDR to back up the current disks to tape, then restore on the new DASD when it comes in. DDR does a complete track-for-track copy and doesn't care about content at all as long as it is readable. Or use OFFLINDR to do the backup and restore. http://www.clueful.co.uk/mbeattie/s390/offlindr.jcl -- John McKown Senior Technical Specialist UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team +1.817.255.3225 > -Original Message- > From: James Melin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 10:59 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Migration of NON CDL volumes to new disk array > > > We are having our 'shark' box replaced with a similar model because it > keeps killing drives.

Re: RH 7.2 LPAR install - HELP
Just for entertainment purposes mostly, we re-loaded the OAT configuration for the ENTR - and the MAC address problem went away. Dunno why. I was elated and then couldn't get to the net. Turns out the very next problem was a mis-configured switch. So, just wanted to know that smacking the ENTR card in the microcode did the job, and the SuSE install works. Now I can try that whole roll-your-own oco modules thingy for redhat. In my mind, SuSE is ahead of the game for which flavor we go with because they include the correct oco modules with their distro.

If so, what I recommend you do is this... Take the initrd file from the SuSE distribution and copy it to the Linux system. Uncompress it: cat initrd | gzip -d > initrd.out Mount initrd.out on the loopback device. cd to the /mountpoint/bin/ directory Edit the netsetup file, and insert this near the top: set -x Save the change and exit. Unmount the initrd.out from the loopback device. Recompress the initrd again cat initrd.out | gzip > initrd Try the install again. You should see a bunch of messages from the script as it executes.

Re: Migration of NON CDL volumes to new disk array
James, If you're still running SuSE 7.0 (2.2.16 kernel) you can _not_ use CDL. That is only supported in the 2.4 kernel series. You can use the mini-HOWTO at file://d:/webpages/linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/movefs.html to copy your data. Once that's done, you will need to re-run silo, pointing to the _new_ IPL volume as it is _currently_ known by the running system, with the parmfile using the _new_ DASD device numbers (in preparation for your next IPL). After that, you should be able to do a shutdown and reboot from the new volume. You might also want to take a look at file://d:/webpages/linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/dumprest.html for a little explanation of the above, but in the context of using the OFFLINDR program to actually dump the data to tape and back to disk.

Re: Anyone running DB2 connect on Linux - I just got asked where it keeps the log

You could use the SNMP OID to provide guest status for your NMS system (and have a single place to query what was running, and provide any private info you want to via a standard interface), and have a "set" request act as a virtual "power on" button -- send a set request and wait for the query interface to report "guest up", all w/o inventing a new protocol. In fact, you could implement the "set" request as a toggle, press once for on, one more time to generate the CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN command to the guest for a graceful shutdown. -- db

Re: Samba weirdness
This reinforces my belief that the mapping database is being deleted. The UID's are being reassigned starting at the beginning of the defined range, as users log on in a different order from the last time. Where you see the numbers is for UID's that haven't been reassigned yet. > -Original Message- > From: Rich Smrcina [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 10:27 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Samba weirdness > > > When Samba (and winbind) are restarted, some names start > showing up, but they > aren't the same as the ones that were setup before the > reboot.

Re: Samba weirdness
When Samba (and winbind) are restarted, some names start showing up, but they aren't the same as the ones that were setup before the reboot. Additionally, it seems to not be the same one every reboot. nscd is set to not start up at boot time.

Anyone running DB2 connect on linux - I just got asked where it keeps the log
Someone in development is putzing with Db2 connect enterprise edition under Linux. Does anyone know offhand where the access log for it would be? this isn't something I regularly support so I'm at a loss to answer them without a query to IBM - and I'm not sure we're covered under service contract for db2 EE queries

Re: Samba weirdness
Okay, that makes sense. The way Winbind works is it gets the RID from the Domain, and assigns a UID number sequentially from a pool specified in smb.conf. It adds this mapping to a database, but for some reason it seems it keeps the database in the Samba "lock" directory. If you have something in your startup that cleans out the lock directory, you'll lose the mapping database every time you reboot. Here's some relevant stuff from the winbindd man page: $LOCKDIR/winbindd_idmap.tdb Storage for the Windows NT rid to UNIX user/group id mapping. The lock directory is specified when Samba is initially compiled using the --with-lock- dir option. This directory is by default /usr/local/samba/var/locks . $LOCKDIR/winbindd_cache.tdb Storage for cached user and group information. And some scary stuff: If more than one UNIX machine is running winbindd, then in general the user and groups ids allocated by winbindd will not be the same. The user and group ids will only be valid for the local machine. If the the Windows NT RID to UNIX user and group id map- ping file is damaged or destroyed then the mappings will be lost. Since the SuSE supplied Samba doesn't include Winbindd, I assume you built your own, so you'll have to find the file based on what options you used when you compiled Samba. > -Original Message- > From: Rich Smrcina [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 9:20 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Samba weirdness > > > We are using winbind.

Re: Samba weirdness
Is there possibly a process start up sequence problem? I modifed the smb script to start up winbind after smbd and nmbd. But I did not mess with when the smb script is run at startup time. Does winbind need to start before something earlier in the process?

Vic, the CD-ROM appears as a 3422 tape drive. If someone wanted to write a 3420 driver for it, Linux could access it.

Re: Samba weirdness
We are using winbind. Stopping and restarting Samba does not cause the problem, only a reboot. nsswitch.conf was modified to add winbind to the passwd and groups tags: passwd: compat winbind group: compat winbind That was the only change to any nsswitch settings. Once security is set, everything works great. We just can't boot... without losing the security settings. After a reboot, and I see the uid and gid values, I tried a lookup (eg: wbinfo -S `wbinfo -U 1000`) to get the proper value and it comes back with just the number. Any ideas or comments before I take this to the samba list? On Friday 10 January 2003 07:53 am, you wrote: > The names are just reverse translations of the UID/GID values.

Perl DB2:DBD Driver "make test" Error
I am trying to build the Perl DB2-DBI Driver on a SuSE-7 (2.4.7) system. The "make test" fails with the following error: Can't locate auto/DBD/DB2/Constants/SQL_PARAM_I.al in @INC The DBD is DBD-DB2-0.76; Perl is 5.8.0; Perl DBI is DBI-1.32; DB2 is 7.2.

Re: Samba weirdness
The names are just reverse translations of the UID/GID values. Where are those mapped? passwd? NIS? LDAP? Winbind? The translation happens in the name-service-switch mechanism, controlled by nsswitch.conf.
