Re: Samba users
Try to get WEBMIN to administer your Samba Server. http://www.webmin.com It has some very nice features that will help you synchronized all local users to samba users. This will alleviate the need to manually do it by hand.. It also make creating Shares a breeze Good Luck...

Re: More linuxvm.org Updates
Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers Hmmm. I remember Mark mentioning that he was running about two weeks behind in updating his wonderful website. So when I saw the way the numbers were written I discounted the European custom of the way dates are written, and come to that, the same way we enter dates into a record on Linux, for this collection of items. I figured that he meant, 2/11/02, and he was thinking that it meant he was up to that date in updating his site. And for those of you, who are being nitpickers here, I meant the way the expiration date is entered into the date form, for creating a user. --- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Force will be with you...Always."

conmode=3215 on Hercules
Hello:
The code for setup parsing looks like this:
__setup("condev=", condev_setup);
static int __init conmode_setup(char *str) {
#if defined(CONFIG_TN3215_CONSOLE)
if (strncmp(str, "3215", 5) == 0 && (MACHINE_IS_VM || MACHINE_IS_P390))
SET_CONSOLE_3215;
#endif
}
Don't you think it would preclude having a decent console on Hercules?
I am going to ask Martin to kill the test for machine type
from conmode_setup, but first someone please confirm that
I am seeing what I am seeing.

Communication between Linux and z/VM
I am trying to develop an exec that will shut down a Linux instance from VM user MAINT. I have figured out how to become a secondary user and log on as root and provide a password using CPSEND mechanism. The problem I'm having is being able to code a routine that can parse a response sent from the Linux instance. I want to know if an "application" shutdown within the instance has completed before I issue a "shutdown -h now" to the instance. I have it working just using some "sleep" commands, but I need more control than that. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

For each NT, W2K and XP system you need a computer account: useradd computer$ smppasswd -a -M computer for all relevant values of computer root needs a Samba password, I don't think it has to be the same: smpbasswd -a root Each Nt, W2K and XP machine has to join the dommain.

Re: Samba users
Jammie, I've never had a problem with defining my Samba users in lowercase. What does your smb.conf file look like? The _easiest_ way to allow users to access Samba in a shop where an NT domain is already set up is to add the Linux/390 system to the domain (your NT admin will have to set up a "machine account" for it), and use "security=domain" in your smb.conf file. If you installed the Samba documentation, you really should do a "locate using_samba" command, and point your web browser at the index.html file in that directory. You'll be looking at the "Using Samba" book that O'Reilly and Associates contributed to the Samba project.

PHP Security Vulnerability
I just received an email flash from our internal security organization about a severe security exposure in just about every version of PHP (3.0 all the way up through 4.1).

Re: create an ISO from a CD
Rob, I created the iso images and mounted them on a loopback without fussing around with the boot image. If you are planing to IPL from this ISO, then it will better be on a CD. The IPL takes its information from a file called (in suse) suse.ins or (in redhat) redhat.ins. This is not like a bootstrap, I am confused still. Thank you for your patience, I am slow.

ColdFusion Neo on Linux-390
I have a client who wants to look at the ColdFusion Neo beta. We haven't gotten the beta software yet but have applied. >From what their whitepaper on Neo says is that it can run under Websphere and that it's basically a Java application. So even though it's not written for Linux/390, since it's Java, it should run on this platform. This is very interesting to us since we have a fair amount of ColdFusion applications running. We also have been told by Macromedia that they have heard that some clients have it running on Linux-390 platform. Does anyone have information on this and can anyone provide me with more details on how this is done and what features have been tested (and not tested)?

Finding Linux Help Elsewhere
I know I've mentioned this in the past, but it bears repeating. (Also, I was reminded of this today by an InfoWorld article by Russell Pavlicek.) This mailing list is not the only place you can go to for help with Linux/390. Believe it or not, many of the problems people encounter and seek help for are _not_ S/390 specific. So, I spend a lot of time at http://groups.google.com searching for information on Linux problems that other people have already solved, or can provide insight. I am frequently gratified at the results I get, and the new things I learn, by doing these searches. (I am a frequent beneficiary of the "I learned this on the way to looking up something else" syndrome.) As an example, I just last week got a thank you email from someone for a post about smbmount that I put out over a _year_ (or two!) ago. Anytime I'm in Santa Barbara, I know where I can get a free beer! (Never underestimate the power of free beer in getting assistance. :) ) The InfoWorld article that prompted this note, though, talked about using your local Linux User Group (LUG). If you don't know where one is, there's a very nice web site that will help you at http://www.ssc.com:8080/glue/groups The "glue" stands for "Groups of Linux Users Everywhere" and they have listings of LUGS in just about every state in the US and many, many part of the rest of the world. You might take a look at the whole article that talks about LUGs as well at http://www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/02/02/25/020225opsource.xml?0227wea m Mark Post

Re: time config
Jammie, Check whether /etc/localtime is a symbolic link pointing to an appropriate timezone value for you, or that the contents matches one. On my SuSE systems, I have this: > ls -l localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jan 29 23:01 localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT If your entry doesn't look like that, you can do this: cd /etc rm localtime ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT localtime On my Red Hat 7.2 system, /etc/localtime is an actual file, whose contents match /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT. So on a Red Hat system, I would do this: cp -p /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime On both my SuSE and Red Hat systems, the TZ environment variable is not set.

Re: Shutdown of penguinvm.princeton.edu
During the initial discussions about moving penguinvm to linuxvm.org, I learned quite a bit more about Melinda's support for the early i370/Bigfoot Linux/390 port. I always enjoy learning about other people's generosity (it helps remind me that not everyone is mean and small). As a result, I've added mention of Melinda's contribution to my "Linux for S/390 Primer" presentation that I'll be giving at SHARE next week. I figure she deserves accolades for what she does, no matter how frequently she does it. In that vein, I want to do the same for Barton Robinson and his crew at Velocity Software (particularly Tony Noto) for agreeing to provide a continuing home for the content that had been on penguinvm, and helping me figure out some of the technical details of how that needed to be done. When I asked if there would be enough space available, there was no hesitation at all in answering "yes."

64bit distributions.
Does anyone have the latest news on 64-bit Linux distributions? Who is doing what and where to download?

If you get more than one real CPU, I'd expect many things, some not so obvious, to go faster simply because you get parallel processing. Whether its useful in your environment is something you won't really know until you try it. Reports I have seen about 2.2 not scaling well pertained to IA32 and the way Intel handles cache. Whether S/390 has similar woes I don't know. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition.
Re: Moving /usr to another disk
Marcy, you can add DASD dynamically in 2.4 by: echo "add device range=0100-0104" >> /proc/dasd/devices <-- 0100-0104 is the device address of the new dasd , notice >> which means concat echo "set device range=0100-0104 on" >> /proc/dasd/devices Carlos :-) Carlos A.

Actually, that was the hardest part for me as a VMer new to Linux to find. It wasn't in the Suse doc (although there is enough about dasdfmt, mke2fs, and fdasd) and I couldn't find a howto on it anywhere. And I found that I did need to reboot Linux 2.4. Is this not the case? Maybe I didn't find the dynamic way (I did try insmod too but came to the conclusion through reading the list archives that that's only for the initial install out of the ramdisk). Marcy

After setting up a share we attempt to access this share via an NT 4.0 workstation. When doing anything with that share the instance hangs -- telnet session is unresponsive and can't even get a linux logon prompt within the VM user.

Re: Cobol and IMS for Linux
> What are the ISAM options on Linux/390 and Linux/86? Well, considering that IBM bought Informix, it shouldn't be all that difficult to lobby IBM for an s/390 Linux version of the C-ISAM library. Given the story of how DB2 was first put up on Linux, I'd believe someone probably has it in their hip pocket already. -- John R.

C-ISAM has been available for Linux for S/390 for over a year. Note that this is NOT the same as the ISAM we remember not so fondly from the mainframe in the 70s.
