The reason most people haven't come across this, at least in AIX, is that with modern virtual memory management and file caching there isn't much benefit (if any) to be had in using a ramdisk. You would only use one for files that a.) you aren't worried about losing and b.) are frequently...

columb, What you proposed will work, but you should do it at as off-peak a time as possible. There's a race condition there that could cause any failed logins that occur between the two commands to be lost. You should also, as Mike suggested, make sure you know why failedlogins is so large. -...

Thanks for the update on what worked for you. - Rod

SMIT mkcd, set "Create the CD now?" to "yes" and "Remove final images after creating CD?" to "no". After it runs, the CD or DVD image will be in the /mkcd/cd_images directory. - Rod IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert pSeries and AIX 5L CompTIA Linux+ CompTIA Security+ A Simple Code for...

If you prefer to spend lots of money for software that's not likely to have been as thoroughly tested OR audited, there's always PowerBroker (or will there be? - another open source advantage is a lack of dependence on a vendor's continued existence). - Rod IBM Certified Advanced Technical...

Referring back to the phrase to be replaced, "Re-taken up", I'd offer: I've taken it back up. - Rod

A preemptive resetting of the label might not be a bad idea. The label is limited to 127 characters so, depending on the failure mode (I don't know if it's truncation or erroring out), going over that limit might break your process. - Rod IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert pSeries and...

The Label field is just that, a label. When you made the JFS2 filesystem on the lv, it would have put the mount point in the label. Since the Mount Point and Label fields have different values, I'd suspect that both the label and the directory structure are being created by the procedure or...

Is the user name showing up, but the space is still there, or is it still just plain "mil:/ > "? Check to see if "echo $ENV" gives you a filename. If it does, check that file for redefining of PS1. You also might want to check /etc/environment, although I'm pretty sure ~/.profile runs AFTER...

My guess would be that some application is mucking about with /dev/kmem (which it shouldn't), and that the app's idea of the layout of kmem doesn't match that of the running system (which is why it shouldn't). If this just started showing up, have there been any recent application installs or...

The address you're originating from needs to be listed in either /etc/hosts.equiv or $HOME/.rhosts on the machine running rshd. If the rshd machine can't resolve the origin address, it'll need to be a dotted quad. Obligatory Security Caveat: You really should use ssh/scp instead of rsh/rcp if...

Per [link: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_parseInt.asp]w3schools javascript ref[/url], Since your strings begin with "0", but 8 and 9 are invalid octal digits, you get 0. Change all of your calls to the form: parseInt(birthdate1.substr(2,2),10) and you should be fine. IBM Certified...

Skulker does a bunch of find commands, so the larger and more complicated the filesystems it's checking become, the longer it will take to run. Take /etc/skulker out of the inittab or rc script that's running it a boot and instead put it in cron. Set it to run every day during off-peak hours...

Wow. That's one broken filesystem. Sorry to disappoint, but a CATE doesn't give me any magical insight into the manner in which it's broken, or if this symptom is the only damage. If /usr1 is a filesystem, unmount it and see if fsck can fix it. If not, or if fsck can't fix it, you can try the...
