Re: Add LDAP support to PHP

2008-10-27 Thread Jones, Russell
I found that I had a nss_ldap package installed from something I was
trying to do earlier. I uninstalled it, reinstalled the openldap client,
and then rebuilt the php package, and php ldap support started working. 

I guess there was a conflict between the two packages? I'm just excited
that I got it working. Now I am able to password protect my php pages
with MVS ldap server authentication, which is tied to RACF. Pretty Cool!

Thanks for you help,

This is happening because you had a problem when you installed the
openldap-client package, and then removed it.  You can't build LPAP
support into PHP unless you have the openldap-client package installed
first.  If you really, really want to do this, you'll need to work on
figuring out what is going wrong with openlpap-client installed so it
can be fixed.

Re: Crytographic processors

2008-10-27 Thread Felix Beck

I have followed your discussion and I think there are some
misunderstandings.
First let me give you a short outline of crypto on IBM System z.
There is CPACF (CP Assist for Cryptographic Function), which is a
function unit within the CPs. CPACF supports a couple of symmetric
crypto operations like DES, AES, ..., as well as PRNG and SHA
algorithms. If you have the feature code for CPACF enabled, which is a
non-charge feature, you can use hardware acceleration for these
operations. Exploitation of the CPACF instructions is provided by a user
space library called libica.

Then there are also cryptographic coprocessors available for System z.
The cryptographic coprocessors support acceleration of the RSA
algorithm. Access to the coprocessors is provided by the cryptographic
device driver zcrypt (a.k.a. z90crypt). Exploitation for applications is
provided by libica.

Libica and the cryptographic device driver are open source. Further
documentation can be found in Chapter 6 of Device Drivers, Features and
Commands

Kevin, you are asking for performance figures. Maybe this link on IBM
developerworks can help:

Re: Zfcp.conf

I don't actually have any Redhats myself but an IBM manual said after
changing Redhat's zfcp.conf it's necessary to re-run mkinitrd and zipl
to make the zfcp.conf changes survive (take effect) at reboot.

 Given that and you said
  After the reboot, the original paths were still being used.,  I
suspect the initrd's got the prior contents of zipl.conf built into it
and doesn't know yet  about your changes to the zfcp.conf file.

Re: Zfcp.conf

2008-10-27 Thread Hall, Ken (GTS)
No, it's not necessary, if everything has been done properly.  It has to
do with when in the boot process the FCP devices are attached.

If you ALLOW mkinitrd to put zfcp.conf in the initrd, those disks will
be attached before the root filesystem is mounted.  If you're okay with
that, then it's fine.  But if you want more flexibility, it might make
more sense to remove zfcp.conf entirely before running mkinitrd.  That
way, NO FCP disks are attached before the root filesystem mounts, so
it's all handled later in the boot process, and it all still works.

There are a couple of gotchas with this.  In versions prior to RHEL5.2,
zfcpconf.sh was run out of /etc/rc.s/rc.sysinit.  This resulted in a
chicken-egg situation when multipath and/or LVM were used, and Red Hat
went through several iterations trying to fix it, going all the way back
to RHEL4.4.

5.2 triggers the script out of udev, which also nicely solves a race
condition in rc.sysinit, where udev doesn't build the device nodes fast
enough for LVM to catch them.

Far as multipath goes, I don't see why changing the WWPN and Bus ID
should  have changed the identifier that's stored in the bindings file,
but it's possible, since I forget how that's calculated.  The simplest
way to straighten it all out is to run multipath -F, remove all
entries from the bindings file, and then run multipath, and let them
rebuild.  You might have to check to be sure you're mounting filesystems
on the right places, though, if you're mounting by node.  We're planning
to standardize on either using LVM, or mount by label, to avoid this.

Two other quick hints:

The default location for the bindings file is in /var/lib.  If /var is
on a separate filesystem from root, the bindings file will be built in
the wrong place, or not built at all, and /var will be mounted over it.
The latest versions of device-mapper-multipath have a parameter in
/etc/multipath.conf that allows you to specify the location of the
bindings file.  Earlier versions required it to be changed via command
line parm, which, of course, required you do surgery on the init script.

Finally, the version of mount that comes with RHEL5.2 uses a new scheme
to prioritize mounts so that multipath devices and their components
don't look like the same disk.  This used to cause mount-by-label to
fail.  If you start getting mount failures, device busy, or duplicate
device messages, check file /etc/blkid/blkid.tab.  If you've added and
removed LUNs, this file can contain residual data that confuses mount.
Just delete it, and reboot, it will be rebuilt properly.

Good luck!

Re: Daylight Savings Time adjustment

2008-10-27 Thread Jones, Russell
Found it. I had to upgrade my glibc-zoneinfo package. I couldn't find
any source code for the package, but apparently it is not architecture
dependent. 
I installed glibc-zoneinfo-2.7-noarch-10.tgz, and my time was corrected.
We'll see what happens when daylight savings changes. 

Thanks

Have you got the latest 'tzdata' package?  You may want to get that and
install it ..  (I'm assuming Slackware uses it ...   not familiar with
Slack)

 Over the weekend, my Slack/390 system fell back an hour for daylight
 savings time. How do I adjust when this happens? I think it's supposed
 to happen next week.

Some time ago, when our now-expelled govt thought to introduce daylight
saving on short notice, various software suppliers found the notice too
short.

I found the timezone data from one Linux distro on Intellish worked not
only on others, but also on OSX on PowerPC.

I only copied /etc/localtime
