[U2] smit under aix 5.3.3
I know I should know the answer to this but I am getting old and the memory is fading fast :) Trying to run smit but the display is all over the place (using CURSES) Termdef brings back vt220 Used to know how to fix this... bob Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential or privileged information.

Re: [U2] smit under aix 5.3.3
I wonder if you have installed any gpl or open source software for AIX, that might have set some environment variable somewhere... If that is the case, then it could be screwing with (or pointing away from) the vt220 term def, that smit really needs. I'm on AIX 5.3 and smit works fine under Accuterm with a vt220 session. You might try (make sure your emulator is set to vt220): unset TERMINFO unset LIBPATH TERM=vt220 export TERM smit On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 8:31 AM, Carl Dula c...@pulsarsystems.com wrote: If the terminal type you are using in your emulator is vt220, then at the aix prompt TERM=vt220 To check what it is set to first echo $TERM -- Carl Dula Voice: 973-227-8440 X111 Pulsar Systems, Inc.Fax: 973-227-8440 271 US Highway 46, STE H209 email:c...@pulsarsystems.com Fairfield, NJ 07004-2474http://www.pulsarsystems.com ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- John Thompson ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

[U2] AIX uname and Redback
We have a client who found uname -Fa on AIX 5.3 doesn't return the unique system ID value when run through Redback. Suggestions are welcome about how to get the whole value. For example: From the command line and UO the result from 'uname -Fa' is: AIX hostname 3 5 ccsp mmmccs From a Redback connection that 'longnid' value is missing: AIX hostname 3 5 ccsp See the following page for details about how uname has changed in 5.3. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix-systemid.htm l Rocket has not been able to identify the cause. I guess they don't have access to IBM resources anymore. ;) It's my current guess that Redback is running in 32bit mode and that the longnid may only be generated for 64bit applications, but I can't test that. This is important for my purposes as uname is used as a component of the security mechanism to lock NebulaXLite and other software to a single system. I don't care what the value is, but I need it to be reported consistently. For now I'm issuing a site-specific version of the software so they can move forward, but I'd like to understand the problem. Thanks!

Re: [U2] Using SSL, with .Net to make a connection to Linux/Unix
I am not suggesting that you inspect the actual data passed (I know it is encrypted), but rather what packets are being passed? Are handshakes failing? Are responses missing? -- when compared to the working connection. Do the packets give you an additional clue as to what is failing? Technically, you are not making wireshark work with uvtelnetd. You would put a hub (not a switch) between the client and server, and plug a separate machine with wireshark into the hub. From this machine you could monitor traffic between the other two machines. Alternately, wireshark could be on the client machine monitoring traffic to/from the server IP. Wireshark may reveal nothing -- the problem could be within the encrypted data being passed. But typically protocols pass packets back and forth to establish the connection before sending the data, and if it is failing at this level wireshark may make it obvious. rex On Wed, Aug 3, 2011 at 6:27 PM, Michael Pflugfelder mpflugfel...@ratex.com wrote: Rex, How could I make Wireshark work with uvtelnetd.

Re: [U2] AIX uname and Redback
Tony, are you sure Redback isn't setting some $PATH that's running something other than the AIX uname (/usr/bin/uname)? -Kevin http://www.PrecisOnline.com ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] AIX uname and Redback
Have you confirmed if it is a reporting problem or a data capture problem? I.e. is that the uname -Fa is still producing the full output, but the RedBack environment does not return the entire result? You could try uname -Fa|tee /tmp/uname.redback.$$ to capture what is being output and compare it to the result RedBack is reporting. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Tony Gravagno Sent: Friday, 5 August 2011 3:37 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] AIX uname and Redback We have a client who found uname -Fa on AIX 5.3 doesn't return the unique system ID value when run through Redback.

Re: [U2] AIX uname and Redback
To my knowledge Redback itself isn't being asked for anything. A BASIC sub was executed and returned the short result - I believe this does what you're suggesting. That sub also kicks off a phantom with the same results. Code is below. FYI, I don't use Redback myself so please forgive any misunderstanding of something that you're trying to convey. I'll pass along new suggestions to the client. Thanks for the note. More suggetions welcome. T From: Gregor Scott Have you confirmed if it is a reporting problem or a data capture problem?
