on your perspective) is that IFLs always run at full speed on machines like MP3000 and z800 that support hardware capped CPs. I guess this still applies to z890 too... So if you have a 7060-H30, or a 2066-0A1, if you get an IFL it will run at normal speed and not at the speed of the CP. Cheers, Vic

you access to YaST. BTW, yast on the command line rather than Yast, YaST, YAST or other combinations will work fine. Cheers, Vic Cross -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL

doesn't suit... Ideally, you want any TCPIP service machine you've defined as a controller to be able to back up any other one, and it adds complexity if you restrict each controller to an RDEV range. Cheers, Vic Cross -- For LINUX-390

to persuade it to give a more readable output? Use the tcpdump-qeth wrapper, instead of invoking tcpdump directly. In SLES8 it should be provided, although you may have to install another package to get it... Cheers, Vic Cross

Re: Sharing root mdisk with SLES 8.0

shareable doesn't warrant the extra work -- as Mark says, / needs no more than about 150MB on most systems. You can't share everything. Filesystems like /usr or /opt can give much greater gains for (arguably) less effort, since they can run out to 2GB or more. Cheers, Vic Cross

relief on this. Cheers, Vic Cross [1] I remember someone writing about how to set up a userid that runs vtysh as its shell, allowing a router admin to get access to zebra without having to have their own shell account... Oh yeah, that's right, it was me, in the SHARE presentation from last year

issue the start for Zebra and everything seems fine. ?!?!? That's odd, I've seen strangeness when the sub-daemons are started before zebra. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. When you start zebra after logging on, do you use the init script? Cheers, Vic Cross

the right device manager. Sorry if this is too obvious, it's just that the default ADCD definition for E40 is as an SNA device; I just want to make sure you were on top of that. Cheers, Vic Cross -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff
