Removing SSL Support From z/VM 4.4

2010-09-07 Thread Rod Clayton
We have a z/VM 4.4 system which was setup to use Sine Nomine's Linux
guest to provide SSL tn3270 support.

It has broken, and I would just like to remove the feature so that
z/VM TCP/IP would just use regular tn3270.

We have gone to using BigIP to offload that stuff on other systems anyway.

Where would I find the directions to remove the SSL function?

Thanks,
Rod Clayton

David,

I didn't think you guys were still maintaining it for the older
systems (z/VM 4.4 on MP3K).

Console Messages Problem

2008-05-28 Thread Rod Clayton
I recycled my system last night. Now I appear to be getting the
Operator messages on my CMS account. It also treats all my commands as
CP commands instead of CMS commands.

Is there any way to get my system back to normal without an IPL?

Thanks,
Rod

Thanks Alan and Scott,

 That worked.

I have never had that problem before.

Yes, my ID is in the list.

We are having trouble with the terminal Operator normally lives on. So
i am sure that is what happened.

Thanks,

 Normally it indicates that the operator was not started.  This can happen
 if operator is IPL CMS instead of IPL 190, and you are bringing up the
 system CLEAN.  No NSS, so you get an IPL failure and OPERATOR isn't
 started.  The system goes into hunt mode looking for a likely
 vict...er.. operator.

 Is your id in the Alternate_Operators list in SYSTEM CONFIG?

Re: Mini-survey: Linux usability

2007-06-13 Thread Rod

When I first got my mitts on this stuff I had awful trouble getting
anything working until Rob walked down the corridor and helped me out.
We then had a series of discussions concerning a bog-standard DDR
image that would get people up and running.

That was nearly 10 years ago. Given the recent discussion about having
to send notes to Novell to generate sufficient interest to get
something similar, it depresses me to see just how far things have
come in 10 years.

Re: z/VM usability

2007-05-05 Thread Rod

I'm currently engaged in moving a bunch of things from VM/CMS to Linux.
Most of it is written in Rexx with a lot of Pipelines.  The Rexx part
has proved to be pretty easy -- ooRexx is mostly compatible and mostly
an improvement.  The Pipeline part is a lot tougher.


Writing something that does the basics of what CMS Pipelines does
is pretty simple (been there, done that, got the t-shirt about 5 years
ago). The problem is getting it to perform and getting it to do all the
clever stuff that CMS Pipelines does. That's what messes you up.
(I keep thinking I should revisit this stuff and recode it in C# as a
learning exercise...)


Actually, a CMS shell that ran under Linux would be pretty neat.


Now there is a project for someone who wants to learn C#... just let
me finish re-installing my iBook, getting Bacula to work, fixing the
server that I messed up the other week, trying to get MS Windows to
boot under Xen... shame the boss wouldn't sponsor me to do this...
ah well...

Re: DNS question

The DNS protocol has been stretched and
the de-facto standard extended beyond the RFCs.


And bind happens to *be* the de-facto standard implementation. Another
reason to run it instead of the VM DNS server code.


And Microsoft Windows happens to *be* the de-facto standard implementation
(of a GUI-driven computer system). Another reason to run it instead
of (insert name here).

Oh wait... it's not Friday yet is it...

various We should port BSD quotes

Someone did a bunch of patches to one of the BSD's some years ago.
I know, I saw it. I'm pretty sure I bookmarked it but as per usual, when
I want to find the thing I can't... ah, there it is. Hmmm... it was the
FreeBSD stuff. Maybe someone (else) can have a shufty and
see if it's a good starting point.

Re: Question on output of the SHOW Xedit Command

2006-04-04 Thread Rod
 I would like to do a  Show Xedit command and have more than just
 the
 line with the match be displayed.  I seem to remember Kevin Beaurequard
 (we worked in Tallahassee together) that knew xedit commands that would
 find the match and show 2 or 3 lines around the match.

   Thanks for any hints

You can move to the prefix area and use the s prefix
command to display (amount of) lines that are
excluded (assuming that you haven't switched
shadow lines off).

Others have mentioned the extra macros that
exists (which are fun).
