Pam,
I went to http://www.vm.ibm.com/events/ to look at this class after the
event. Is this the correct URL for that? Clicking on the event still
asks for registration. Do I still need to go through that to look at the
presentation post-event.
Thanks,

We are in the planning stages of implementing GDPS/XRC. We have z/OS,
z/VM, and Linux on zSeries (running as guests on z/VM). z/VM is at 5.3
installed on CKD. Linux is SLES9 SP3 installed on CKD and SCSI. CKD for

Oooh, I can't agree with that. Replacing a system module that might get called
from multiple places isn't a good idea.
Afternoon,
We are looking at bringing in a z9 BC to replace our existing 9672, with
the
possibility of also running Linux on the z9. However, my CIO is
concerned with
the types of applications, number of IFLs required, other county

The point is that sulogin *is* called from multiple places, so if
you're going to get rid of the root password (Rob's point) you either
get to modify all the places that invoke sulogin (I find 3 scripts in
