[zones-discuss] Re: Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) and zones

2007-01-24 Thread stephen lawrence
I can make some general suggestions on how to avoid duplicate backups, but I'm not very familiar with TSM, or your specific backup requirements. Does the TSM backup client run in the global zone, the non-global zones, or both? What is the "default TSM configuration" that results in these duplic

svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd:default This starts an Xvnc server when connected to by a vncviewer. It does an xdmcp query, so when the vncviewer connects, it gets a gdm login. gdm must be configured to enable xdmcp. When the vncviewer disconnects, the Xvnc goes away. I'm guessing this i
