Why use a poor man's VPN when you can get a real one at the same price? ;-) Layering TCP over a TCP link has all sorts of nasty implications with respect to network error handling, which is why proper VPN protocols do not use a TCP connection. The two main options for a proper VPN solution on Linux are IPsec, through FreeS/WAN, and CIPE. Since IPsec is a proper IETF Internet Draft Standard, and CIPE is not, FreeS/WAN is probably the preferred solution, but CIPE certainly does work as well. Back to the original question: Although I would also be interested to hear why one would want to have a PPP connection on an S/390 system, the fact that it cannot be configured with the current s390/config.in seems incorrect. All other architectures support it, either implicitly by sourcing drivers/net/Config.in, or explicitly. -- Willem Konynenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question -- Charles Babbage

You don't mention the subnet mask, but I'm going to assume that all of those IP addresses are in the same subnet. The CIP interface must have an IP address that is in the LAN subnet. The Linux machines need to have IP addresses that are in a different subnet unless you can persuade the CIP to forward packets for specific IP addresses across the claw interface.

Re: [Redhat-s390-list] building the kernel
But now we're back to one of Todd's previous questions about what value SMP_CACHE_BYTES should have in logger.c when he's not running with SMP support. Sigh. I'm not sure, but it looks like if there is not an architecture-specific override, include/linux/cache.h defaults that value to match L1_CACHE_BYTES: #ifndef SMP_CACHE_BYTES #define SMP_CACHE_BYTES L1_CACHE_BYTES #endif include/asm-s390/cache.h does _not_ define SMP_CACHE_BYTES, and it sets L1_CACHE_BYTES thus: #define L1_CACHE_BYTES 256 So I would have to guess that SMP_CACHE_BYTES would be set to 256 on Linux/390 when SMP support is enabled. Again, I hope this helps, Todd.

Craig, Good question. When I copy that page to my /home/userid/public_html directory as index.html, _some_ of the dynamic commands work, and others do not. I don't know a lot about that kind of embedded scripting, but I would imagine it's got something to do with various security settings in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf. Certain directories are probably "trusted" while others are not.

Samba 2.2.2 - Load Printer Drivers question
I'll add my two cents to this. We're putting up 2.2.2 and I've been looking at the print driver stuff. To upload the drivers, 1st create the print$ share. I have the following: [print$] comment = Default Printer Driver location (2.2 config) path = /var/lib/samba/printers write list = ntadmin @smbsupport create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 I setup the directories on Linux to have the "smbsupport" group which the userid that load drivers belong to. I use Unix userid/groups so I've also put the userid that will do this in smbpasswd and created a smbsupport group. You might be able to user Window's userids and groups but I haven't gotten into that yet. To upload the drivers, I go into Network Neighborhood, Point to Domain, Server. Then you get a list of shares that have been setup (printer and file shares) along with a "Printer" folder icon. Double click the Printer icon. Then you see all the printers that have been setup. Click on a printer that you want to setup with a driver. You may get various messages about print drivers and spoolers. Just click on OK. Go into Printer / Properties (you may get some more message). Click on New Driver - I usually click on HAVE DISK and select the INF file for that printer. You will then be able to select a printer model (note: I've omitted all the various Windows dialogue boxes you go through). Note: I use "Have Disk" since I have access to drivers which are WinNT and Win2000 compatible. Most of the drivers that comes with WinNT are not Win2000 compatible. If this isn't a problem you probably don't need to select "Have Disk". You should now see the driver being copied to the Linux server (see the "Coping to ... \\,linuxserver>\print$\W32X86"). If you go to the print$ share directory (in my case - /var/lib/samba/printers), you will see a W32X86 (where WinNT and 2000 drivers are kept). During the copy the files are stored in that directory. After all the files are copied they are moved to a W32X86/2 or/3 subdirectory). If you get errors during the copy process you may have to setup directory permissions (or userid/group owners) for these directories. It isn't the quickest process to do this so just be patient. Once it is done, you can see the driver listed in the Printer Properties window. You can close the window. That will setup the driver and associate it with the printer. Note: once you have uploaded a printer driver, it can be used by other printer queues. Note: you can also upload Win95/98 drivers by using the Printer / Properties / Sharing tab. Select Shared and Alternate Drivers / Win95. Note Win9x drivers are kept in a WIN40 directory under the print$ share. To see the configuration info for server, I use "rpcclient // -U " and the "enumdrivers" to see all of the drivers that have been uploaded to Samba. "getprinter " to see if the driver has been associated with that printer. We were experiencing a problem with the driver configuration information being lost after a shutdown/restart of Linux. We need to recompile Samba 2.2.2 (since we were installing from source, no RPM for Linux/390 yet) and we hardcode all the directories where files are kept. Originally we were using /var/printer/drivers but have moved it to /var/lib/printers. This seemed to be a problem with the various .tdb files (now kept in /var/lib/samba directory) since the windows printer files were still in the W32X86 directories. This may not be the case for others but it might be good to try a few drivers and then see if the information is still around after a restart (using rpcclient to verify the configuration information). One real benefit of this is that this works with WinNT and Win2000 clients. We're still rolling this out, so we might experience other problems. I haven't looked at imprints but may if we move production usage of samba. One other possibility if copying the various configuration files (smb.conf, printcap, .tdb files, printer drivers, etc.) onto a new samba server. Not sure how well this will work. Also under the Network Neighborhood Printer icons there is an "Add Printer" icon. The documentation says that this can be used to start a shell script that with add the information to /etc/printcap (and smb.conf??). I have yet to try this and they only "add printer" script that I've found is written to work with CUPS. This would be quite useful in handing support for this over to Windows only support groups. This uses the "add printer command" in smb.conf and has info in the smb.conf help file. I'm quite curious as to how this will work. Our goal is to provide tools to the groups doing Print Server support to have GUI tools that they can use rather than having to understand Linux.

Re: Turbo 2.4.5 Beta and the Console is nolonger 3215
Chris, You'll have to build a new kernel to change that. Unload the appropriate source, make sure all the patches are applied that Turbolinux uses. Copy what ever configuration file they use into the top-level kernel source directory as ".config". Do a "make menuconfig" and select "Character device drivers". Un-select support for console on 3270. Exit and save your new config. Do a "make dep" "make image" copy the new kernel and System map file to /boot, adjust your silo/zilo/zipl parameters accordingly, and reboot.

It was ready to go Nov 1, and I could gripe about why it was held up, but that's just IBM's dirty laundry. Though it hasn't been updated on the Web since Oct 26th, the changes will be quite minor. I apologize for the delay, but I chose not to take this battle on. While I'm here, let me mention next year's plans for Linux redbooks. Those *proposed* to be funded are: Linux on zSeries and S/390: Application Development Linux on zSeries and S/390: Systems Management Linux on zSeries and S/390: HOWTO Anthology Use of Virtual Servers for Large Scale Linux on zSeries Deployment So watch for residencies to be announced. The HOWTO anthology is somewhat of a new concept - it will be a compendium of (8-10?) papers release during the year and published as a redbook at the end of the year. This is designed to enable timely publishing of specific topics. So if you can't get away for a residency but still would like to contribute to the community through IBM and the ITSO, consider writing and contributing a paper (topic and quality appropriate, of course). On a personal note, it looks like I'll be moving out of the ITSO on to another job at IBM POK. It's been a "wild ride" here and I've enjoyed meeting and working with many of you on this list. At least for the first three months of 2002, I'm hoping to button up the code associated with the redbook "Open Source Software on z/OS and OS/390 UNIX", SG24-5944 (remember OS/390 UNIX? :). I'm not sure who will be leading the projects next year, but I will still be involved with them.
