Actually, for users across multiple systems, I think LDAP is your friend.
You can restrict users to specific Linux guests, a single password change
effects the user across all the systems, it enforces the uid being the same
across all the systems (important if you use nfs or ftp...) and you have a
Since you are running on VM. It should be easy to come up with an exec that
would use secuser to issue passwd commands to every linux server.

Hi James,
Maybe you can take a look at multixterm
(http://expect.nist.gov/example/multixterm.man.html). I haven't used it but it
seems to provide what you are looking for, before using the utility you need to
install expect and tk.
Regards,
Jose

To expand James' answer a bit (I've never used the chpasswd command):
for I in system1 system2 system3 ; do
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'echo user:newpass | chpasswd'
done
The list of systems could be given by hand, as above, or could be pulled
from a file, as in for I in `cat system.names` ; do
A little off topic, but coordinating UIDs doesn't matter to FTP because you
supply a username when you login. With SCP and SFTP you can supply the
username, but the default is the name you logged in with, but it does not use
the UID (it uses the name). However, TAR and PAX archives store the

Is your dasd driver a module, and are you using an initrd?
If this is the case, the range is taken from /etc/modprobe.conf in the
initrd, not /etc. You need to rebuild the initrd and reboot.

I have a RedHat Linux machine on zVM 5.2 and I am trying to put about
40 3390 mod 9s on it. Each device is a full-pack minidisk.
The machine boots up fine and runs but doesn't have all its dasd.
a #CP Q V DASD shows that the Linux machine has all the DASD mapped to
virtual addresses 800-82B.
We run over 30 3390 mod 27 devices in a single Linux image w/o problems. Did
you extend the /dev/dasd devices past /dev/dasdz? This could account for the
problem... Although 800-81f is 31 devices, so I may be way off base.

Udev should handle this on recent versions of Red Hat (RHEL).
The nodes will automatically be built from dasda-dasdz, then
dasdaa-dasdzz, and dasdaaa-dasdzzz.

Thanks for the great input. I remade the initrd then didn't run the
zipl command. Well, I said I was a rookie.
THanks for the responses.

I always visualize these as one command, as:
mkinitrd zipl
This way, if mkinitrd is successful, then zipl runs immediately after, which
is what I want. If you start typing it in this way, you'll be less likely to
forget the second step.
Now, if I could just remember to do the first step
