I'm confused about a MAC address being assigned to a guest. I've created a new linux guest. In the directory I have SPECIAL 1D00 QDIO 3 SYSTEM VSWTCH1 When I start the linux I keep getting a message saying that the IP address is already defined. I know that this is a unused IP address. Then I

The early Hollywood depictions tended to feature card sorters or collators, only occasionally tape drives. Had to have some sort of visible action. I remember one though (Goliath, I think) about a computer that was taking over the world, which had a room whose walls were covered with panels of

And last season on 24, they had a couple of episodes where they were supposedly reprogramming the mainframe by pulling cards and tinkering with them. When they went into the mainframe room, all that was in there was a couple of racks of Cisco switches. Of course, Cisco was a sponsor of the

Yeah, I really laughed at that. They memorize the lines and recite them with a straight face but usually the technical content is just silly. As the character Janice said in one of the episodes to another FBI person yes, I need you to open up a fresh socket for me ROF LOL !

A Strange Use Of AUTOLOG

2009-06-08 Thread Michael Coffin
Hi Folks, I thought I'd share this one with you, quite possibly the ODDEST thing I've seen in VM in over 25 years! In order to satisfy security mandates, we are in the process of changing ALL virtual machines that are not owned by individual humans to be LBYONLY (i.e. they won't have unique

An AUTOONLY user cannot be used for authentication (obviously). An LBYONLY user must authenticate with their own user ID. E.g. enter maint.by.michael when ftp prompts for your user ID. By golly, it works! Thanks much Alan, I hadn't seen that syntax until you quoted it! -Mike

Wee too are doing a similar project. I ran into the situation of the special IDs used by IBM service, BLDCMS, BLDNUC, etc. I tried making them AUTOONLY but that didn't work - any ideas? Thank you, Scott -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System

Re: A Strange Use Of AUTOLOG

2009-06-08 Thread Michael Coffin
Are you sure AUTOONLY doesn't work for BLDCMS, BLDNUC? It seems like it should. Just make sure that the users that need to AUTOLOG these users (e.g. MAINT, etc.) have the appropriate authority (e.g. a VM:Secure or RACF rule allowing them to AUTOLOG without passwords, or an AUTOLOG/XAUTOLOG card

Re: A Strange Use Of AUTOLOG

2009-06-08 Thread Kris Buelens
Yet another common misunderstanding: An AUTOLOG/XAUTOLOG card in the directory makes that a class G user can XAUTOLOG the target user, MAINT has sufficient CP classes to allow it to XAUTOLOG any virtual machine, regardless of XAUTOLOG entries in the CP directory. (and ESM can changed these rules).

I upgraded to z/VM 5.4 with new release of VMSECURE 8.2 (not sure if VMSECURE makes any difference). We are using Version 1 (ugh) on F20 shark. Tried to run the FLASHCOPY command and received reply command complete but accessing new volume I noticed the label has not even changed. No command

I've seen this some years ago so there a lot of cobwebs between the synapses. Is a tpn tag floating around somewhere, like on the db/2 server? Maybe in a SCOMDIR NAMES in a :tpn. tag? David Kreuter Original Message Subject: [IBMVM] A Strange Use Of AUTOLOGFrom: Michael Coffin
