Environment
AIX Version 5.1
Problem
After changing soft filesize limit to "0", customer is unable to telnet into server.

/dev/pts/0: 3004-004 You must "exec" login from the lowest login shell.
Solution
To unlimit the soft filesize(fsize) value, change your value to "-1" in the /etc/security/limits file.

fence_rsb
fence_rsb(8) System Manager's Manual fence_rsb(8)
NAME
fence_rsb - I/O Fencing agent for Fujitsu-Siemens RSB
SYNOPSIS
fence_rsb [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
fence_rsb is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the Fujitsu-Siemens RSB management interface. It logs into an RSB device via tel-
net and reboots the associated machine. Lengthy telnet connections to the RSB device should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running
because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.
fence_rsb accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_rsb can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing.
Vendor URL: http://www.fujitsu.com
OPTIONS
-a IPaddress
IP address or hostname of the RSB device.
-h Print out a help message describing available options, then exit.
-l login
Login name.
-n telnet_port
The port number on which the telnet service listens.
-o action
The action required. This can be reboot (default), off, on, or status.
-p password
Password for login.
-S path
Full path to an executable to generate the password for login.
-v Verbose. Print informational messages to standard out.
-V Print out a version message, then exit.
