Re: [U2] [UD] IP address of Users
What does "who" report in AIX? The internal or external IP address?

RE: [U2] [UD] IP address of Users
Bill, There are some differences in our environment. We use SBClient to access UD running on AIX. All of our users usually log in through the same PC every day although their DHCP provided IP addresses will change. Our device licensing isn't configured through the terminal software but instead through the .profile in the user's home directory. Our problem was that we were seeing stale IP addresses with the AIX listuser command as well as in the SB+ USER.ID file. This was causing some messaging services to fail.

RE: [U2] [UD] IP address of Users
Jeff: Thanks for the idea. I did that too and use SYSTEM(512) to write the IP address. This IP address is the same as the one on the list-users listing if the checkbox in wIntegrate and AccuTerm is checked to "allow device licensing"; it's correct if the checkbox isn't checked. Does your code actually reflect a difference between device licensing being checked/unchecked on the client? Are you using Windows? How are you getting the IP address; through U2 or through the O/S?

RE: [U2] Recommended ODBC Manager for AIX 5.3?
We began using Easysoft years ago, and it is a critical part of our production systems (now on HP-UX 11 and UD 7). It requires a Windows PC to act as the bridge, but our only only complaint is that licensing relies on all of the hardware components for this PC (we had a NIC go bad and had to renew the registration key -- a real nuisance for a production system, so we will probably move it to a virtual machine some day); outside of that, great product, great service, perfectly reasonable price.
