No logon promt when logging in as root
Hi all. After many weeks of cursing, I've finally managed to sort out my pam.d/login file, and have removed the lines I added as per the Oracle install. I can now login at the console. However, I wonder if maybe I took too much out, as when I logon as root, I don't get a command prompt, and everything I type is echoed back to the screen. I can't even exit / logoff. Can anyone tell me what's going on here, and how to fix it please?

Re: No logon promt when logging in as root
The only way to know for certain what is going on is to get signed on SOMEHOW. Is the sys on the net? Can you SSH in? The echoing of everything is the default for line mode logon. (VM is presenting Linux with a virtual IBM 3215 typewriter terminal.) you can 'stty -echo' after getting logged on, and I often do. (The duplicate responses are annoying!) Sounds like you're simply not getting a shell. On 2009-07-09, Vincent Getgood vincent.getg...@xchanging.com wrote: Hi all.

Re: No logon promt when logging in as root
Good! We're getting somewhere now. The fact that you cannot 'su' to root is quite telling. You might have something in root's $HOME/.profile which is keeping it from giving you a command shell (BASH or otherwise). To get a shell in the mean time, since it appears that you CAN 'su -', try this: su - -c '/bin/sh -i' It should bypass profile processing. Then take a look at /root/.profile and see if something there invokes a long running command. -- Rick; On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 08:31, Vincent Getgoodvincent.getg...@xchanging.com wrote: Yes, I can log on as another user, and get a command prompt.

Re: No logon promt when logging in as root
OK, I sorted it. This was due to yet another change I had made to prepare for Oracle. I had made changes to /etc/profile.local, but had done them incorrectly, which is why root was throwing the toys out of the pram. The reason I could login as another user was that the user did not have permission to /etc/profile.local! I can now fix this problem, and try again.

Datacenter Move
I am running SUSE 10 in an LPAR. We are in the process datacenter consolidation, and we will be moving all of our systems to a new datacenter. After the move, the only changes should be the ip address and he OSA device address. DASD addresses will all be the same. The steps that I am aware of to make the changes are: 1. Rename /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.oldaddress to /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.newaddress, and change addresses inside the file. 2. Rename /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.oldaddress to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.newaddress, and change device addresses and the ip address inside the file. I planned to pre-stage the new files in another directory. After IPLing at the new datacenter, I would move the new files to the appropriate directory and delete the old files from the HMC, and re-ipl. (Hopefully with ip connectivity) Is this all that I need to do? I just want to be sure that I am not missing anything.

Re: Quick command question
There are two implementations for issuing CP commands.
Sadly, development was not able to embrace the original implementation
so they reinvented that wheel (some aspects better; some features
omitted).
But the distributors have taken up the new scheme, so the command you
want is 'vmcp' and the module to load is vmcp.
I have a bit of REXX that will simulate both commands ('hcp' and
'vmcp') using either module (cpint or vmcp).

Not at all. Use your desktop to get to the point where you can actually click on the download button, but instead right click on it and use the copy link location option or equivalent. Paste that URL into an SSH session on your Linux system, and use wget (or curl) and specify your NCC userid and password. Done.

Re: Download directly to z/Linux server ?
Lionel I don't think you would need an X server on Windows to open a web browser on the Z to download files from Novell. If your Z system can reach the external network, I would try using wget first, directly from the Linux command linevery handy utility. man wget should tell you more. Good luck.

Re: Datacenter Move
Russell, Do you have your Linux LPAR set up to access the HMC's emulated ASCII Console? This could come in real handy if you DO NOT have IP support after you IPL. You need to do this on your current system and try it out before you move your datacenter. Just uncomment the following in your /etc/inittab. # # LPAR SE/HMC VT220/Linux console - uncomment to enable getty on it: # 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear /dev/ttyS1 linux Ron Jones, Russell wrote: I am running SUSE 10 in an LPAR. We are in the process datacenter consolidation, and we will be moving all of our systems to a new datacenter. After the move, the only changes should be the ip address and he OSA device address. DASD addresses will all be the same. The steps that I am aware of to make the changes are: 1. Rename /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.oldaddress to /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.newaddress, and change addresses inside the file. 2. Rename /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.oldaddress to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.newaddress, and change device addresses and the ip address inside the file. I planned to pre-stage the new files in another directory. After IPLing at the new datacenter, I would move the new files to the appropriate directory and delete the old files from the HMC, and re-ipl. (Hopefully with ip connectivity) Is this all that I need to do? I just want to be sure that I am not missing anything.
