How do you . . . . setting up a user to force him to change his password?
I have been banging my head (and the keyboard with google.com/linux) trying to come up with an answer/solution. When setting up a new user, I want to be able to expire the user's temporary password, allowing the user to login with the temporary password, but force him/her to create his own password on the first login. I know how to set the INACTIVE value in the /etc/shadow file, but is there a command to modify the account without manually modifying the /etc/shadow create date (to expire) to do this?

Re: Terminal server
Hi, RHEL 5.4 added a TTY terminal server over IUCV. Here's a brief description, copied/pasted from the feature request bugzilla: "This implements the terminal server running on a dedicated z/VM guest. The terminal server is a user space program that accepts connections via the normal network and uses the AF_IUCV socket API to provide a console session to the Linux guests of the z/VM system that are enabled for the IUCV console." Note that while the description above mentions 'user space program', there is also an equivalent kernel piece that requires the RHEL 5.4 kernel as well as the RHEL 5.4 s390-utils package.

Re: SuSE Withdrawal
>From our company's Novell contact It is nothing exciting; IBM is not dropping SUSE support, just support for a bundled stack of software, called ISSLE, which was geared for mid-market companies. It included a special web server configuration and was supposed to go after Windows servers running IIS and some of the File and Print space. ISSLE was a specialized SKU only promoted by IBM. It didn't sell well (most mid-market companies don't host their own websites anymore), so IBM decided to drop the SKU.

Re: RMF PM presentation from System z Expo
Hi Ron We used this for all our LPAR based Linux images, if you are looking for a overview of what the system looks like it is great, you are looking for a display that tells you the system is slow or blocked etc you will need something else. RMFPM just reports the numbers you will have to decide from the numbers if there is a problem or not. The only major issue we had with it was the inability to set a threshold line with in the displays i.e. a line at 75% CPU so that when you looked at the screen you could see at a glance if there where any issues.
