During a recent application failure we found that 2 users had removed their $HOME/.sh_history file. We suspect it was these 2 users who caused the fault but we now have no way to prove it. Obviously these users need write privilege or they can't write their command line history, and obviously...

I'm further tying down on our AIX 5.3 systems access to root. I'm going to create a new group containing the id's that will be allowed to su to root, with most other accounts on the system still being able to su to other accounts, just not root. Obviously for this to work I have to add this...

No, I'm afraid that's not it. If I copy your suggestion as is I get: dunsdev:/home/forberd # LASTCHANGE1=`grep -p forberd /etc/security/passwd | grep lastupdate | awk '{print $3}'` ; print scalar localtime ${LASTCHANGE1} scalar localtime 1252399094 dunsdev:/home/forberd # And if I presume you...

I've created quite a simple script shell script to produce an output on when a user last logged in to one of our systems, an IBM p570 running AIX 5.3 TL10, or at least I've produced a script that isn't doing what I want it to... It goes something like this. For USER in `cat /etc/passwd | cut...

We have a need to create a copy of a production machine to perform some testing on. The current production lpar is on a Power5 P570 running AIX 5.3 TL9. The machine we've been allocated is a Power6 P520. We have mksysb's no problem at present, going to a seperate NIM server, but I'm aware...

Any suggestions on the best way to move some raw volumes? While doing TL level upgrades I've come across an lpar that has 2 volume groups, rootvg and appvg, but a lot of raw volumes that should be in appvg are in the rootvg. Apparantly this was done as a short-term gap until appvg was expanded...

I've been asked to upgrade a server from AIX 5.3 TL8 SP3 to TL9 SP3. On the box if I run oslevel -s I get 5300-08-03-0831 Oslevel -rl 5300-08 returns no issues Lppchk -v then gives: lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring the system to a consistent state...

I've been tasked with upgrading one of our HACMP clusters to 5.5. It's a 2 node cluster based on AIX 5.3 TL5 SP3, although I'm going to update that to TL8 SP3 this week. Current HACMP version is 5.3. But I've been a bit stumped so far as to how this is done, because I can't find anywhere to...

So does no-one here have any idea what to do? To recap and clarify: We have a server called dunsdev It has its domain set to uk.aswatson.com Djuk.aswatson.com It has the smart relay server set to hoex1 DShoex1 Sending mail to people on a completely different domain to the company (eg...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I've checked the server, and a few others, and none have the sendmail.mc file. I guess that takes me back to directly editing the sendmail.cf file? Further though, would this line have been the addition of the Smart relay host line beginning DS in the .cf...

Our sendmail server is called dunsdev The official domain name is set as uk.aswatson.com When sending mail to recipients such as joebloggs@email.com it gets routed to the relay server fine. When sending mail to recipients such as joebloggs@uk.aswatson.com it gets kept locally where there's no...

No need - sorted it. Found a network problem. When I assigned the IP's and a default router, the default router was blocking bootp. Thanks again everyone.

I should point out after the 5 bootp retry attempts that fail, the error code is !EA01B015 !

Hello again. Sorry for the delay here but I got pulled onto another customer project. I have a bit of an update, and I'm afraid its still not working. In answer to previous replies: ccook123 ******** Yes, that's virtually the process followed. The only differences are as follows. After...

I need help please. I've got a VIO'd P570, on which one of the lpars is a NIM server. It was/is working when I inherited it as the previous 6 lpars were built using it. I've created a new VIO profile which works fine (thanks to an earlier reply from p5wizard). I've defined this new lpar in...

Ok, we have a 570 and I need to create a new lpar on it via the VIO server. Using the HMC (v7) I highlighed the server, and from the menu went through Configuration, Create Logical Partition, AIX. It gave this new partition the id of 7. I've given it CPU, memory, network etc etc. Hostname is...

OK, anyone know if this can be done. I have an AIX server which uses Sendmail to send mails if check scripts finds a problem. It has a domain set by the Dj entry such as: Djuk.company.com So, when an id sends a mail the recipient will see sender's such as: root@uk.company.com...

Hi all One of our customers has a number of AIX 5.3 TL9 lpars. Access is via ssh only, and by default I'd like to deny direct root access. People would log in as themselves before su'ing to root. Pretty standard stuff really. This would be done in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file by enabling...

Sorry, found it. bffcreate -l -d [dir] Ta anyway.
