Re: Authentication on Linux using PAM to a z/OS RACF server
Yes. You need the pam_ldap module with some small modifications to give it a NDS-like search context concept. pam_krb4 and pam_krb5 also work against the z/OS Kerberos implementation. It's one of the things in the single-sign on paper I promised back in Dec (yes, I still remember who asked for it), and finally have enough cycles to actually finish it up. Keep in mind that LDAP is *not* optimized for performance on *any* platform -- z/OS is better than most, but LDAP is a complicated protocol and may be much more effective as a resource locator for a different authentication mechanism (like Kerberos or the X.509 GSI support in the Globus toolkit). -- db - Original Message - From: "Jim Elliott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 12:27 PM Subject: Authentication on Linux using PAM to a z/OS RACF server > In theory, you should be able to use PAM to provide Linux authentication > and resource contol through to the LDAP server that is part of the z/OS > Security Server (nee RACF).

Re: Putting the Penquins to bed
Mike Kershaw of Marist College wrote a program that will "sit" on the VM console of a guest and wait for the secondary operator to send it a "shutdown" command. You can find it at http://reason.marist.edu/patches/bootshell-1.3.cc. Malcolm Beattie came up with a way to add an external interrupt handler to trigger the "ctlaltdel" event in /etc/inittab. He described it at http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvtype?LINUX-VM.19899 but I'm not aware of anyone who has actually implemented it.

Re: DASDFMT PROBLEM
Thomas, Yes, you didn't specify a "dasd=" parameter in your parmfile, hence the DASD device driver is not allowing access to the devices it detects. I would recommend paring down the amount of DASD available to that LPAR to only those DASD volumes you want Linux/390 to be able to use. Since there is no mechanism to ensure data integrity between Linux/390 and any other operating system, data loss is only a finger check away. Further, although you didn't ask about this, I would recommend that you only use the Marist file system for initial "feeling around" purposes. If you intend to go farther than that, think seriously about downloading one of the fully supported distributions that are available. Check out the main page on http://linuxvm.org for those.

I hope you get to come back and bring others from Timken with you. What does your routing table look like when you're attempting the pings? For that matter, what is the IP address of your OSA, and the first router past the OSA card? Post the output from "route -n" and "ifconfig" so that we can help you out.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 11:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem wit OSA/2 Adapter I attended Share last week and I followed the Linux/390 track. I want to thank all of you who presented, all presentations were excellent and very informative. Share was especially "special" since I got to spend time with an old friend, Scott Courtney. Scott you and your talents are missed and it was great seeing you again. Now to my question. Since I returned from Share I have been trying to install the Marist distribution on our VM processor. I attended the installation workshop at Share, which was fantastic, but in the workshop we used IUCV for the TCP/IP. In fact from Nashville I had started the installation and had gotten to the point of needing to ftp the Linux filesystem tar file into the Linux virtual machine, but I did not have a TCP/IP connection for my virtual machine. When I returned to work I approached our VM system programmer and he tells me I should be using the OSA Adapter. Well being a Unix Systems Administrator this was foreign to me. So I started looking for information on doing the install with the OSA adapter. I have downloaded the LCS manual and Linux/390 Installation Guide from the Marist website. I have reviewed the Linux-390 list archives and have used Alan Altmark's handouts form his "Connecting to Linux for S/390" presentation. Currently I am able to punch the kernel, parm file, and ram disk file to the reader and ipl giving me Linux with a ram disk. I respond "yes" to the network question, I select 2 for OSA Ethernet, and pass the following lcs parameters: noauto=1 devno_portno_pairs=0x5002,0 I then respond to the remaining questions as I would for any other host on the same subnet. The messages that follow all respond with a "OK". I did have an error that stated the resource was busy, that went away when I used 0x5002,0 instead of 0x5002,1. the Dedicate statement in the virtual machine definition is: DEDICATE 5002 5002 DEDICATE 5003 5003 When I try to ping the Linux virtual machine using the IP address the request times out. When I run the ifconfig command in the Linux virtual machine I see that the RX packets continue to increase while the TX packets remain very close to zero for "eth0" Any help and/or sugge

Linux distribution CD's
Are there any Links to RH/SUSE/Turbo with actual cost figures for purchasing S/390 or zSeries Distribution CD's. I know there was a discussion some time back about SUSE and an evaluation price, and production price including maintenance. I have asked Red Hat Sales several times for Costs, but have not received any replies yet. I think my request is not getting to them through their own "contact us" site. Are there any figures that I can use to include in any proposals for evaluation/purchase agreements. I know I can Down load them free, but that would Take a great deal of time, and I guess I want to have the actual product in house. Partly for Disaster Recovery purposes, and partly personal comfort.

Re: can I boot Linux off either cdl or ldl formatted disks?
>ldl & cdl: >Cyl 0 Head 0 Track 2: IPL record >ldl & cdl: >Cyl 0 Head 0 Track 3: Label >cdl: >Cyl 0 Head 0 Tracks 4-5: DSCBs to make it look like one through four data >sets this is not quite correct :) The Linux partition table in cdl case is hidden in a 390-like volume table (VTOC) in the second track. And you can specify a block on an ECKD DASD by specifying cylinder/head/sector or cylinder/track/block. Head and track are equal here, like sector and block. ldl: (cyl/trk/blk) (0/0/1): 1st IPL record - size: blocksize (0/0/2): 2nd IPL record - size: blocksize (0/0/3): volume label- size: blocksize (LNX1) followed by the one and only partition cdl: (cyl/trk/blk) (0/0/1) boot code - size: 28 byte (0/0/2) boot code - size: 148 byte (0/0/3) volume label - size: 84 byte (VOL1) (0/0/4) 1st IPL record - size: blocksize (0/0/5) 2nd IPL record - size: blocksize (only if needed) ...
