Duane, don't feel badly; the SSL support now provided with z/VM is a bit confusing at first. There are two parts to the SSL support:
1) the part IBM supplies with z/VM....a set of Linux RPM files that contain the IBM SSL code itself. 2) a supported Linux distribution for the zSeries...this part you have to supply yourself. You need to download and installed an appropriate level Linux distribution for the exclusive use of the IBM supplied SSL code. You can read more information on installing and setting up the SSL server here: http://www.vm.ibm.com/related/tcpip/vmsslinf.html A good thing to do is to just download the prebuilt Sine Nomine SSL Server. It comes complete with the IBM SSL code installed on top of a working Linux kernel. You just DDR two 3390 DASD minidisk images, and you're good to go. Take a look at the SNA web site (sinenomine.net) for more details. Duane Weaver wrote: > Adam, > I am reading the IBM Program Directory z/VM 5.1 for TCPIP, about SSL.
