A slight correction - ICS (aka iCalendar or RFC 2445) files have dates
in ISO format, but they are NOT required to be in UTC.  The standard
allows timezone definitions and references to them within the file.
Often UTC is used because it makes it easier, but it's not required.
They also allow floating time, expressly for some cases where you want
to load events into your (insert name of device / user agent her) but
you don't want to have to change the time zone on it when you travel..
for example, when I go to SHARE I get the events in floating time so I
can just load them in the PDA and leave the time alone.

Partly because of these, and other issues, there are many
interoperability problems with calendars. The Calendar  Scheduling
Consortium (www.calconnect.org) exists to work on those issues, and has
I believe mades some progress. You might want to check them out. Many
vendors are members, as well as universities and open source projects.
Regrettably, Microsoft has not joined - although I believe they may have
attended one or more interop tests.

I do agree that it would be nice to have an iCalendar (RFC2445 not
Apple's product) attachment whenever there's event data.

  In future, could people recognise that not everyone understands US
  times, and translate times to GMT (UTC). Probably we can all
translate
  GMT to our local times.

 What, you don't have one of those handy dandy timezone changers on
your
 desktop toolbar?  Heck, even Windows has that.  I use mine all the
time to
 figure out what the time is in other parts of the world.  Or you could
use
 the world clock, or

In John's defense, it is a bit annoying that people in the US tend to
assume that the US is the center of the known universe (thank goodness
it's not). Since he's in Australia, that 16 hour time difference is Not
Fun At All for non-US attendees to US events, particularly for those in
Asia. Trying to schedule conference calls with people in Japan and China
is a major PITA.

A possible solution would be to add a ICS (Internet Calendar Service)
meeting notice to the posting (would require some work on the mailing
list server to permit .ICS files to pass the attachment filter). Times
and dates in ICS notices are in ISOdate format with times in UTC, and
Notes (finally!) can generate and understand them properly, as does
Outlook/Exchange and the other similar widgets. Then the meeting
schedule would appear in the proper local time.

Re: Performance: 31 vs 64 bit?

64-bit has more storage overhead for sure. measurably impacts working sets and 
thus paging.

DEF STORAGE v. AUTOLOG Linux Guest

2007-08-27 Thread David Schaub
In working with a product that uses DCSS (OMEGAMON for zVM and Linux)
for passing information, I have run into an issue where my Linux guests
won't start automatically after an IPL.  It is my understanding that
there are two ways to setup DCSS with Linux:

1.  Create a memory hole and define it using the DEFINE STORAGE command,
say, in the PROFILE EXEC.

2.  Place the DCSS higher than the defined memory for the guest and use
the Linux /etc/zipl.conf file to define a higher memory boundary as
available.

In order to have a Linux guest properly startup, am I forced to use
option #2?  When I go with option #1, the DEF STOR command does a reset
that interrupts any following command in the PROFILE EXEC.

Thanks much,
David Schaub

Your subject line says DEF STORAGE v. AUTOLOG.  You can provide the
STORAGE option on XAUTOLOG if you want the virtual machine to start with a
larger amount of memory.  You can also combine the DEFINE STORAGE and IPL
commands on a single line in PROFILE EXEC:
  call diag 8,DEFINE STORAGE 128M || '15'x || IPL LINUX

Not at the moment, but I'll ask around inside Novell.

 I need to send a file to a remote server who
 requires ftp over ssl.  I made a mistake and assumed that sftp was the
 same thing.  I understand vsftpd supports ftp over ssl but I don't see
 how to setup a client to initiate the data transfer process.

The vsftpd package doesn't contain an ftp client, SSL-enabled or not.

 Also, I
 read in one of the threads sftp (using ssh) could also be configured to
 support ssl.  I have not found any documentation the shows how to
 configure that either.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

The ssh/scp/sftp commands all use SSL to encrypt traffic, all the time.  You 
don't have to do anything to enable it.  As you mentioned in your first 
paragraph, though, sftp is a distinct protocol from FTPS, so you can't use that 
to talk to an SSL-enabled FTP server.

If you're up for building your own package from source (using RPM, of course), 
I know that lftp supports FTPS.  If you really, really need something that 
works until I can find an answer, that's one option.
