SUDO commands for Applications
You may want to look here: http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/ Some manuals and documentation. Failling that you may need to play around with some scripts and change the /etc/sudoers file to compensate for your users. -
netstat -a |grep -i boot showing UDP and not UDP4
Hi Gurus, I am currently configuring 2 like for like CSM servers on AIX 6.1 TL3 SP2. When I use the 'netstat -a|grep -i boot' command on both, one shows; udp 0 0 *.bootps *.* and the other shows; udp4 0 0 *.bootps *.* I know both... -
Would you use it?
It's a good idea in principal. But I ended up buying my own workstation so I could do more than that. For example playing about with scripts, re-installing the O/S. Tape manipulation, playing about with the hardware, hotswap disks etc... If you were to only have these available for remote... -
16 group limitation against a user in AIX 5.3?
Thanks mrn. I take it AIX5.2 < had this issue then? Or is this the same? -
16 group limitation against a user in AIX 5.3?
Thanks for the responses thus far. We are not using NFS v3 or NIS, the inclenation at the moment is that AIX as well as other flavours of UNIX have group limits to users (HP_UX has 20 for example). The reason we are looking into this is because we were told to use ACL to get around this... -
16 group limitation against a user in AIX 5.3?
Hi Gurus, I am currently working on a problem where we have users belonging to more than 16 groups against their user IDs. Is there a way in AIX 5.3 TL08 SP4 to increase the number of groups passed 16? If so, how do you do this? Thanks In advance. Jon. -
extending File SYSTEM
The command chfs -a size=+200M /usr will only be good if you are using AIX 5.3/ 6.1 If you are using AIX 4, 5.1 & 5.2 then the chfs -a command can be used but you will need to specifiy the block size and cannot specify Megabytes/Gigabytes. If the FS is mirroed then the mirror will extend for... -
How to update Patches & Fixes
Agree with Duke ont his. Normally the rule is to stay a TL back and not go for the latest, due to issues that may crop up. The ML 4 you talk about will be TL4 as of ML3 IBM changed practice on the patches, as they now include TL and SP. To check this use the command oslevel -s as this will... -
Installing HACMP 53 on AIX 5.3 TL7
Yes you need the rct filesets from the AIX discs, but be aware that you will need both the Base filesets and also ones that make up TL7. If you only put on the basefilesets then you are in danger of setting your oslevel below TL7. -
oslevel -s on AIX5.3 TL6 Sp4 showing more info
Good point p5wizard. Although I thought that's why the IBM Fix website was there for. Or even to make the most of your IBM Support contract ;-) -
oslevel -s on AIX5.3 TL6 Sp4 showing more info
Thanks Guys. Why on earth you need the day and week though is beyond me. Unless it's a back covering exercise by IBM. -
Unix/Linux equivilant of AIX
I ended up with the same dilema. In the end I picked up a cheap second hand IBM workstation (Power 3 system) with a copy of AIX 5.3. Which was/is more beneficial as that way you get to do things such as install the O/S and patch etc.. as well as play around with installation and... -
AIX and Linux
They did the same thing at my last place of work. Moved off AIX in favour of Linux. But instead of using exisiting IBM kit. They moved to INTEL boxes as they claimed it was cheaper and faster than IBM RISC CPUs. I beleive it was Red Hat LINUX enterprise. -
oslevel -s on AIX5.3 TL6 Sp4 showing more info
Hi Guys, Forgive my ignorance. But I have noticed recently when we have upgraded from tl5-sp6 to tl6-sp4 that when you do an oslevel -s command there is now additional information after the service pack: 5300-06-04-0748 What does the 0748 refer to? Couldn't see anything on the fix pack... -
lsuser grep for all account locked = true
What about: lsuser ALL | grep -i "account_locked=true" |awk '{print $1,$27,$28,$29}'
