Resolved, sort of... The server came up after 25 min. A co-worker had attached an external disk array attached to ext_bus SCSI C896 Fast Wide LVD with H/W path of 0/0/1/0 Suspecting a possible conflict with the DVD-ROM (just a guess) I detached the DVD-ROM from ext_bus SCSI C896 Ultra Wide...

When users telnet to our AIX servers I don't want them to see the OS version. e.g. AIX Version 4 (C) Copyrights by IBM and by others 1982, 1996. login: I'd like them to see something more like... WARNING *** Unauthorized Access is Prohibited *** Name: I'm not sure which file to edit...

Thanks for the input! I've printed out /usr/samples/tcpip/anon.ftp and will review it and test it on a development server. My concern about anonymous ftp is that confidential files will be put on a production server that is outside a firewall so I need to restrict who can connect via ftp and...

I'm struggling with the same issue. Per the O'Relly book "Practical UNIX & Internet Security" pgs. 491-4, I've done the following: 1. User "acme" and group "acme". 2. Logins for acme are disallowed via "smit users". 3. ~acme - owner root:system, perms...

Damaged media!! Disk 1 of AIX 4.3.3 was damaged! When I used a different CD-ROM, I was able to follow the instructions aixqueen had layed out. Thank you Mike and aixqueen! Russell Zimmermann EYT - LAWSON Development

Thanks for your responses! I'm not sure how to boot an H50 in single user mode. I've rebooted with disk 1 of AIX 4.3.3 in the drive and after a long time the LCD is showing 0c45. Perhaps it's booting off of the cd now? I've set cd0 as the first choice on both the Normal and Service mode boot...

This is my first posting I'm not clear on the protocol. I've read the FAQ and searched the postings and couldn't find a resolution. I need to reset the root password on an IBM H50. I have booted the H50 with the Standalone Diagnostics CD loaded, and pressed F5 after the graphics appeared to...
