Thanks for the feedback - indeed the vmstat looks bad CPU wise and has lot's of unused memory.
Btw. you can use vmstat's switch -w to have the columns aligned. When you even add -t you'll get a time stamp (sometimes helpful).

We are still on 5300-11-04-1015 so I can't tell of any bad experience with your level of updates.

Glad to hear they found something and usually they are fast with responses for hotfixes once you... persuaded them to have a look again ^^ (At least my experience too way back with some other IBM software).

pam_issue is a PAM module to prepend an issue file to the username prompt. It also by default parses escape codes in the issue file similar to some common getty's (using x format). Recognized escapes: d current day l name of this tty m machine architecture (uname -m) machine's network node hostname (uname -n) o domain name of this system release number of operating system (uname -r) current time s operating system name (uname -s) u number of users currently logged in U same as u except it is suffixed with "user" or "users" (eg. "1 user" or "10 users") v operating system version and build date (uname -v) OPTIONS
noesc Turns off escape code parsing. issue=issue-file-name The file to output if not using the default. MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the auth module type is provided. RETURN VALUES
PAM_BUF_ERR Memory buffer error. PAM_IGNORE The prompt was already changed. PAM_SERVICE_ERR A service module error occurred. PAM_SUCCESS The new prompt was set successfully. EXAMPLES
Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/login to set the user specific issue at login: auth optional pam_issue.so issue=/etc/issue SEE ALSO
