Anyone know how to get a serial number of the PIX 515E V6.2 via the CLI. According to a colleague of mine the number given via the show version command is not the device's serial number but its processor board ID. Id hate to drive across town to get a number off the chassis. And I know this...

Anyone know of a way to have AIX 4.3 notify root or an email address if an account locks out? I was thinking of a script/cron/lsuser solution but that seems to lack elegance. Im open to any better ideas. Thanks. A.

I have a 56k frame relay link at four sites. Currently only three of the sites work and the only difference I can find between the Cisco 2600xm configurations is the non-working site has a "no network-clock-participate wic 0" line enabled. The other working sites do not. Could this be causing...

Is it possible to deny rlogins in /etc/security/user while still allowing telnet localhost? If not maybe a more general questions is in order. In my environment I have a system which requires the use of generic user accounts. In an effort to improve autditing we are trying to force remote...

I want to allow normal users to mount some remote filesystems but not be able to mount (or unmount) local filesystems. I understand that if a regular user is in the system group it will have access to un/mount any filesystem in /etc/filesystems that it has write access to. In my opinion this...

Is a rootvg spanned over multiple disks a bad idea? I would like more room on my rootvg and I am considering extending rootvg by adding a disk. However, I am worroried that a mksysb taken of a VG over multiple disks is more difficult to restore. Is this the case? Should I try to keep rootvg...

I have one new disk but two VG's I would like to extend. Can I do this? I am guessing not but I would like to verify with someone who might know for sure. Thanks.

Hi. For this scenario we have 3 routers; A, B, and C: Router A and B are in an HSRP configuration with router A being Primary. Also of importance for this scenario is router B has an On-demand backup ISDN line. Router C has the primary WAN connection and is where router A and B forward all...

I am trying to configure my P series server to power on immediately after a power loss. In its current configuration, when power is lost the server merely goes into standby mode with OK displayed on the LCD and the LED blinking. I have read that I can change a setting somewhere is the "service...

I would like to automate my mksysb's and implement a tapeless/CDless backup scheme. To do this I figured I would write a script to mksysb a file to an NFS share on a storage server. This seems easy enough but I am unsure how I would restore these files if I needed to. Can anyone help shed...

Hello! I have two 6 port PIX 515E's in a stateful failover configuration. Currently, it is configured to failover the peer PIX if anyone of the active links go down. I was wondering if I could configure the PIX to igonore the link of one of my interfaces? I would like the ability to disable...

I have a 3660 router with an access-list limiting traffic from one of its interfaces. That access-list has a rule at the end to log any packets that do not successfully evaluate true in the list. The router logs entries of denied packets very slow. For example, the access-list denies telnet...

I would like to simulate a disk failure of my rootvg which is mirrored acorss two disks. Can I do this by simply pulling one of the disks while the system is on? I am a little reluctant to do this and would like some advice/suggestions on how to test my mirror VG capabilities. Thanks.

I am using AIX 4.3 and I would like to tighten up the ability to su. I know my linux box has a wheel group where I can explicitly specify who has su access. My AIX servers do not have this group. Is it as simple as just creating the group and adding users to it? How is the wheel group...
