And that'll last until the first time you transpose two digits in an address and clobber the sysres for another system. Or some clever Linux user finds the OS data set tools and sets about reading every file you own. If it isn't used specifically by a Linux system, it shouldn't be in the LPAR IOCDS for that system (unless you have VM mediating access). This isn't z/OS, and the "everything everywhere" LPAR definition approach relies on z/OS or VM functions to keep you from shooting yourself in the head. Linux doesn't use, provide or pay any attention whatsoever to those functions, and it opens up the ability to read any data anywhere. I'm with Marcy. You can't screw it up if it isn't accessible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
