[U2] Virtual OS environment for UV
I'm interested to know if anyone is using virtual environments to run UV - eg Virtual PC under Win or LPAR under Aix etc. We are thinking that this may be a good way to effectively replicate the live environment for development, testing and training. If so, what has your experience been? Are there licencing issues for UV?

Re: [U2] Virtual OS environment for UV
Stuart, I run everything under Virtual PC, including UniVerse. This allows me to take simple spot saves, and to move my entire working environment between PCs without worrying about hardware differences: something I have had to do several times in the past. I also keep clean images zipped that include personal editions of each of the databases so I can unzip them for installation testing. Saves a huge amount of time.

[U2] Identification Challenge
We are a small company (42 UV licenses) and so use AUTOLOGOUT on sessions based on importance. Some clients are set longer than others, and some employees likewise. The challenge I have is to figure out who/what is logging in when they are using a java telnet client we use for 'web-based' connectivity. The functionality of it is, briefly, an HTTP connection to our web server, which downloads a java telnet app to their PC, which initializes a telnet connection through our firewall to our uniVerse server. Because of that, when we do a listu/who -u we get our own domain.com as the answer (AIX 5.2/UV 10.1.7). I checked in the GCI subs and getpid is the only one that is very helpful. I wanted one that had the source IP address, but realized that even if there was one, it would return the same IP for everyone using the java client. Generally it's not an issue, except for the PCs used by outside sales and willcall. Since different users login on those things all the time, limiting the session just for those 5 PCs is a challenge this request is about. Since I use DHCP to lock down IP addresses by MAC address, I was leaning that way, but have come to a deadend. I'm hoping one of you geniuses can help me get my brains out of that box and figure out a workable solution. TIA -- Karl L.

RE: [U2] Identification Challenge
Just a thought. When the initial HTTP connection is made, does it run a third part software for downloading? Otherwise at that point, you could capture the IP address, the question is how do you tie the java login to the http session. Or possibly setup two telnet ports, and only download the second telnet port applet to those you want to no logout as fast. So if the connection was made say, on port 2323 you know to not logout but if the port is 23 then regular. This would be regardless of the source IP address.

Otherwise at that point, you could capture the IP address, the question is how do you tie the java login to the http session. The java client is third party (open source). I've emailed the authors and they aren't willing to adjust the source because of the ramifications which might affect others. The client has 2 options: telnet (23) and SSH (22). We use the SSH option for clients that don't allow outbound telnet. Another point: The HTTP server isn't the same server as our business system.

Re: [U2] Re: Identification Challenge
quote who=Jeff Schasny The obvious (to me... YMMV) solution would be to have a process run out of the login paragraph which requires a username and password which could be stored in a file with an @id of their @userno. A second process which parses the output of a LISTU command and shows the current username assigned to a given @userno would tell you who is logged in from the java app at any time. If you wanted to get a bit more involved you could even check the IP address of the user and only require a secondary username/password for those coming from your firewall I'm not sure I understand where you're going. Let me summarize what I understand. We have an application username and password already. I already limit the AUTOLOGOUT time using that criterion. The reason that wouldn't be feasible is because many of our employees who would be using the willcall PC login with there own name. I set that policy and don't wish to change for a specific terminal. We're dealing with sales folks who have trouble remembering more than one computer-related issue. I have them setup with the same email password as they use on the business system just for that reason. Asking them for an additional password would garner me much bad press. The SSH folks have to enter 2 login/passwd entries already. That was a pretty hard sell, however because they were unwilling to use public key authentication, there wasn't any other way to do it. So, am I missing something you had in mind?

quote who=George Gallen What your running into is a security feature of java, you can't telnet from java unless it's a local telnet (same machine), unless this has changed. No it hasn't changed. However, if we put our domain, then our firewall directs the telnet session to the correct system. If I put the internal IP address, the telnet session is directed to the HTTP server, which allows telnet connectivity for non-root users, but they can't do anything other than start a VNC session, an X-session (not on win32) or PINE and read email.

[U2] BP file ownership problem (linux)
After editing a program in BP the owner and group of the file gets changed to user:user. This didn't use to be problem, as all programs in BP were set to 666, but now that we have implemented a minimal level of security, the BP programs are set to 664 with owner and group typically set to user:uv (the programming staff has membership in the uv group). What happens is that after user XXX edits a program, since the owner:group gets changed to XXX:XXX no one else can update that program until either XXX or someone as root chowns the file back to the uv group. This happens with all editors: ED, WED, etc. Is there a Universe setting or user setting that will prevent changing the owner and group setting on a file after editing it? (UV 10.1.4, RHEL 3).

You have a couple of options. You can either make the uv group the primary group for the programming staff in /etc/passwd, or you can: chmod g+s BP The latter will force any files created under the BP directory to retain the same group ownership as the BP directory, regardless of user group settings. -John -- John Hester System Network Administrator Momentum Group Inc.

Re: [U2] BP file ownership problem (linux)
Scott, Are all the people modifying the program a member of the uv group? When I change a source program, it sets my account as the owner, and the group to the group I'm a member of (which is the same group as all the programming staff.) Drew Scott Ballinger wrote: After editing a program in BP the owner and group of the file gets changed to user:user. This didn't use to be problem, as all programs in BP were set to 666, but now that we have implemented a minimal level of security, the BP programs are set to 664 with owner and group typically set to user:uv (the programming staff has membership in the uv group).

RE: [U2] BP file ownership problem (linux)
Thanks John, your second option was exactly what I was looking for. I had changed everyone's primary group to uv as an interim fix, but didn't feel that was the optimal solution.

RE: [U2] BP file ownership problem (linux)
Sounds like you need to set UMASK in the LOGIN paragraph. I keep things pretty simple myself. I keep all users in one group. I keep the home directory in the main account and everyone shares the same UMASK. The only things I lock up is the BP files, dictionaries and paragraphs in the VOC. I do that by pointing all paragraphs to a PROD.VOC which only I can touch.

[U2] Re: U2 Users Digest V1 #718
Stuart, I have a laptop running XP Pro, that has a Virtual PC session running Windows 2000 which in turn runs UV PE (I set all this up in case there were any issues with XP Pro UV, very early in the piece). It has worked quite happily, so I have had no reason to change it. I use it for development testing, to keep stuff away from prying eyes. I believe that a new improved version of Virtual PC is being released shortly (in the next couple of months), so I would perhaps wait until it is released (if you can). Under Virtual PC, I can't write to my CD drive, but I get around that by moving the UV directories from 2000 to the XP area backing them up there. I have found Virtual PC to be one of the most useful offerings to have come out from Microsoft. MARY MULLANE From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] Virtual OS environment for UV I'm interested to know if anyone is using virtual environments to run UV - eg Virtual PC under Win or LPAR under Aix etc. We are thinking that this may be a good way to effectively replicate the live environment for development, testing and training. If so, what has your experience been? Are there licencing issues for UV? Regards, Stuart --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] Dynamic Connect
Thanks Ian and John, I have PE at home and have reviewed the Support Information. Under License Information, it gives the serial number and states 'users: 999'. With that stated, we have recently installed a phone system that allows us to monitor customer calls and service representative's screens to help improve customer service. The terminal emulation software that our service reps use was written specifically for our needs but unfortunately, the monitoring software skips screen displays (possibly because of refresh rates). In the development group, we are using wIntergrate for obvious reasons. Since Dynamic Connect is a 'cut-down' version of wIntegrate, we feel comfortable that we can use its terminal emulation capabilities (eliminating many of the menu options) for our users. My only concern is that I am uncertain of the licensing restrictions, which I am still unclear as to the limitations. From the readme file, there is mention that 'Installation no longer requires authorization' which leads me to believe that we could use this as a corporate solution to terminal emulation (baring multiple sessions and will it work with the phone system). Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Vance Alspach J L Industrial Supply Yes and no You do not need an activation key but it *is* licensed (should be in the license information contained with the product).

RE: [U2] - Determining time sequence
Ross, I'm not derogating the use of sequential IDs but IIRC, the bloke had a reason not to use a sequential id counter and wanted an alternative. The uuid spec states that uuid should cater for time adjustments on the local clock, hence, shouldn't be vulnerable (Of course, in the real world, that depends on how the spec has been implimented). The uuid can be sequentialised and can gauranteed to be unique to a high degree of certainty in time and space. There are no locking or contention issues when a uuid is generated opposed to a heavily used key generator. I stand by my assertion that a uuid is a viable and justifiable solution in the original posters problem space. ;-) Cheers, Stuart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - This would still make things vulnerable whenever date/time changed on the generating machine the beauty of the sequential ID is that fact that nit WILL be in real time order, regardless of what people do with dae time of the machine ** This email message and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of addressed recipient(s).
