Re: sendmail error?
Are you using UUCP? What "way" did you do the re-install? Did you build from source, use a preset mc and m4? Or do you have an RPM? What is the platform SuSE? If this is the case go into Yast and config. Sendmail to you needs, there is a section under Admin someplace (Yast is not in front of me) that has Sendmail config, even an expert menu. Exit and call SuSEconfig, this will rebuild the cf, restart Sendmail with rcsendmail restart. uux BTW calls commands on another host (like rsh rcp) and is part of the uucp package.

Re: Bogomips S390(IFL) / Intel
Mark, I wanted to run multiple Linux/390 LPARs but with tthis problem I ended up giving this Linux/390 lpar the whole IFL. I also ran the following command to test how long does it takes to compile sendmail on my Linux/390 Lpar as compared to Intel, the command is : "time sh Build" from Intel it takes about 1 min and from Linux/390 it took about 3min. I also tried to increase my storage to 1024 and gave it the expanded storage of 512 but that didn't make a different. When it started rejecting connections the CPU load was very high, about 10. My Lpar is connected via an escon channel to the 2216 which is shared among 4 other system. I dont thing that will be the case because the other lpar performs OK.

Re: Bogomips S390(IFL) / Intel
It can be difficult to tell without some sort of instrumentation or analysis of how Linux is performing. At the first hint of a performance problem, the typical solution in the Intel world is to throw more or bigger boxes at it. We don't always have that luxury in the 390 world. Therefore alot of shops have monitoring tools to tell us where the problem is so that we can come up with a game plan on how to fix it. Running in an LPAR you are somewhat limited in that you can only use Linux tools and the HMC displays. I do not know what monitoring packages exist for Linux (besides top), that will give you the information that you (and we) need to work this out. Of course under VM there are a number of choices. While you are testing sendmail, what does the HMC indicate about the CPU load if your IFL? Also, does the IFL use dedicated CHPIDs to the DASD? If so, what is their utilization? As mentioned earlier, try dedicating the IFL to this Linux partition (as long as there are no other LPARs that need it).

Re: Bogomips S390(IFL) / Intel
Hi, Moloko. As others have already pointed out, to see what the problem(s) is/are with your sendmail Linux application, we need to have some system data collected. Since your configuration is Linux running in an LPAR (without VM, correct?) you are limited to using "native" Linux performance data collection and analysis tools. Try the following ideas and let the list know the results. 1) use the standard Linux "top" command to see what process are running. Use the "f -u -enter" option to see what the process is waiting for. 2) "netstat -s" will show the network statistics in detail. 3) download and install the RMFPMS package from IBM (see: http://www.s390.ibm.com/rmf/rmfhtmls/pmweb/pmlin.htm). It comes with a cool Java client (Windows or Linux) that displays the performance data in real time. If none of these things give you enough data to fix your sendmail problems, it might be worth it to run Linux under z/VM, instead of in an LPAR, just to be able to get accurate S/390 system (channel, processor, memory, network, etc.) data. Good luck.

Re: ISO FILES
Acquire FDISK. Partition your hard drive and install a Linux system. You can the choose to boot either W2K or Linux. Hercules will run on either. Failing that get VMWare so you can run Linux under W2K or W2K under Linux (but that would affect Hercules performance). > -Original Message- > Mount commands would be good if i had a unix platform, I have > win 2000 pro > with Hercules running a guest .

Ken, one way would be to mount them via the loopback device: mount -o loop /myiso.iso /mnt/directory-where-I-want-to-access-the-files-under-the-iso I hope you like my mount point name.

Well, that sounds like a mistake. Well, there's always FIPS on an
x86 Linux Distro to help make room for a _real_ OS on your PC. :-)
Sorry for the cruelty, but your choice is to either burn the images
so that W2K can read them or to install a more flexible OS. While
you'll lose the "pretty" HercGUI tool (which I must admit is very
pretty) there are other reasons to run Linux under such a system.
Though I would suspect it'd be confusing to run Linux 390 on top of
hercules on top of another Linux system; Just make sure that you've
properly set up /etc/issue (and issue.net) to remind you of which is
which... :-)

Is the any way I can sort out this problem. It sure sounds to me like RefuseLA in the sendmail config. If you have the Bat Book, it's on page 741 of the 2d edition.

For the ever so unlikely chance that I might land on a UNIX system where 'cp' would not suffice, I use 'dd' when copying from/to a device. A similar "habit" is doing variable assign and export as two commands, not just one.

Re: Bogomips S390(IFL) / Intel
A CPU load of 10 may seem high, but I would be more concerned about what your CPU utilization is (%busy). As Alan Cox pointed out, the defaults for sendmail are set a little low, and S/390 processors are simply not as fast as Intel for certain tasks, so the load averages are probably going to be higher on S/390 than Intel. If you've got unused capacity, a load average of 100 is meaningless. The ability of S/390 processors to multi-task is considerably better than Intel's. Sign on, run top and the other tools that Alan mentions, and see what's really happening. (Guessing doesn't help, even when experts are doing the guessing.) Bump up sendmail's queuing and reject levels and give it another try.

Re: Samba and Security = server
Bill, Using "security=server" just means that the actual authentication takes place on the other server. Samba still has to prompt you for the information it needs to have the authentication performed. If you do have a PDC already in place, use "security=domain" instead. This is actually lighter in terms of resources used on your PDC, and will provide you with the behavior you want. If you do this, you will have to add your Samba system to the domain, which means you will need to create a "machine account" for it in the domain before trying to join the domain. With your Samba software there is included the full text of the "Using Samba" book from O'Reilly and Associates. It's in html and other formats. Take a good look at it, it is _full_ of valuable information about setting up Samba and getting full use out of it.

Jim, It should handle symlinks as is, with no problems. At least, I've never experienced that difficulty using the command.

Resource and object access authorization products
Folks, We are presently evaluating a package called CA eTrust Access Control, which provides C2 and some B1 like security controls for resource and object access authorization. While we have been exploring SELinux, we ware looking for something that provides centralized security for applications hosted on Linux. Anyone know of any other products we should consider?

Backup/Restore Strategy and Product Query
I am trying to determine if our current use of CA VM:Backup will sufficiently support the backup of minidisks owned by Linux virtual servers. Is anybody out there using VM:Backup for Linux virtual server minidisk? If so, what are positives/negatives? Also has anybody heard of any enhancement rumors for VM:Backup to support incremental backups on a file basis (as opposed to a track basis)? Thanks.

Re: Backup/Restore Strategy and Product Query
VM:Backup does support backup of minidisks for Linux servers, but it only backs them up in physical format, not file-level format. It's like DDR, but more efficient. I'm not the owner of VM:Backup on our machines, but it's my understanding that if any data on any minidisk changes, then an incremental backup will re-backup the entire minidisk. For large servers or large numbers of servers, backup times can be long enough to run into production shift. "You do not need a parachute to skydive.

OT: InfoWorld Article - Judge denies Microsoft motion in Lindows case
"A JUDGE LATE Friday denied Microsoft's request for a preliminary injunction against startup Lindows.com, thus allowing the startup to continue selling its operating system under the name Lindows." ... "Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft had argued that the close similarity in the Lindows and Windows names would confuse customers and dilute its trademark for Windows products. Microsoft also argued that Windows would be "tarnished" since the LindowsOS would likely not run all Windows applications flawlessly upon release." "For a preliminary injunction to be granted, a judge must see a likelihood of success at trial and irreparable harm being done to the party making the motion. Judge Coughenour did not find these conditions met, he wrote, and also turned aside the "tarnishing" argument, saying "the court views Microsoft's tarnishment argument as specious. Any software program is likely to have some defects upon release, and Microsoft has hardly been immune to these problems." LOL! The judge is also hinting that there might be enough reason to invalidate Microsoft's trademark on the Windows name. http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/02/03/18/020318hnlindows.xml Mark Post

Re: trying to us OSA/E Gig with
hello mark, PROBLEM SUMMARY: trying to install Suse enterprise server 7 kernel 2.4.7 in a lpar on a 9672 z57 and trying to use OSA-EXPRESS GIGABIT card for communcations. i am using the 'boot-from-cd' option on the HMC console. option '3' from the initial install menu is for gigabit osa/qdio mode and fails if the normal install procedure is followed. this is a result of a syntax bug in the install script. the documented work around is in redbook 'TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION: IBM eSERVER zSERIES 800' starting on page 118 section 4.5 Linux. l followed the procedures in this book and was able to get the OSA-E work. in order to finish the install you need a workstation that is in the same subnet as your lpar, this is stated in this book. thanks to carlos ordonez for informing me about this book. i would prefer that Suse fix the bug so we don't have to use the work around. note: i have also installed this release for a OSA-2 using option '2' on the initial install menu, this worked as documented. regards, steve gear "Post, Mark K" Services'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: 03/19/2002 Fax to: 08:37 PM Subject: RE: trying to us OSA/E Gig with Steve, For the benefit of others that might follow, you might want to explain what the problem was, and how it was fixed.

Re: disk format issue.
Progress in the making !!! thanks to all that gave me advice, guess it is my lucky day... I finally figured out that the commands "./" that i was entering in the bootstrap configurations were WRONG !!! bad advice from another user so i used just the " . " and the responses. !! worked well, then ran into a problem with my formated 3390-3 disks, so deleted them & reformatted them and fired up Hercules again to do the install This time the network came up !!! and the disks took off !!! I tried a VISTA terminal session into the system, but it complained about it being TN3270-E terminal So I opened a DOS window and telnetted in !! then did ".loader" and BANG !!! up comes the install menu... ONE HAPPY CAMPER TODAY break time... ken

Linuxgram Article - GPL Enforceable & Binding, Federal Judge Appa rently Thinks
For those interested in such things. This case involved a company basing some of their own software on GPL code, and then not releasing the source to the new product immediately. One quote from the article: "Evidently the judge never questioned the GPL license, quoted sections of it at Progress' chief counsel, asked how exactly NuSphere had complied with this term or that of the thing, indicated that Progress needed to comply with the license and told MySQL lawyers that they could come back with a new motion for preliminary injunction if discovery indicated NuSphere hadn't fully complied with the GPL." http://www.linuxgram.com/article.pl?sid=02/03/05/058213§ion=newsflash Mark Post
