Sweet. I downloaded the redbook and sounds like TCP Wrappers is exactly what I'm looking for. Seems like this will come in handy for many of the other vulnerabilities that were found, too. Thanks,...

Hi Everyone,
I searched for an answer to this but couldn't find one so I'm hoping someone can lend some advice. My issue is that I have an AIX server running Sysback (for TSM backup/restore) and...

smurphy,
Thanks a bunch for the advice. I switched out of the restricted shell to get root access and grepped for http. Sure enough, it wasn't running. Executing "/usr/ios/lpm/sbin/httpdmgr...

Hi everyone,
Sorry if this post is in the wrong place. I searched the forums for "IVM" and it turned up no results. Hopefully someone knows about this. My dilemma is that I have multiple IBM JS12...

Hi vbe. Thanks for the reply. That's a good point. In order to do a restore I'd have to connect the tape drive directly to LPAR1 so I can boot from the image on tape. That sucks, but the good...

I have 2 LPARs running AIX 5.3. Both are on the same VLAN. One LPAR, which I'll call LPAR2, has a 4mm SCSI tape drive connected to it, while LPAR1 does not have a tape drive connected. I am able to...

Hi Everyone,

The machine I'm working on is an AIX 5.3 LPAR running on a P650. oslevel -r shows 5300-08. I'm trying to take a backup to a SCSI tape drive, which has been working up until this...

Thanks, mpics66. You're right. bos.rte version appears to be dependent on the OS level. I apparently have to install a later technology level to get this version of bos.rte on there. Here's the...

I am trying to install the Sysback client (TSM for System Backup and Recovery) 6.1 on an LPAR running AIX 5.3. One of the filesets is failing to install. Here's what it says in the preview:

Thanks for your help, Nathan. Everything looked fine in /etc/security/passwd. I then tried chpasswd to change root's password and it worked successfully! So the immediate problem is resolved. But...

Hi Tony,

Root is listed in /etc/passwd but I do not have a /etc/shadow file. Is that a problem? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm much more a Windows guy than UNIX.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm trying to change a password for root on an AIX 5.2 machine. Oslevel -r shows 5200-10 for this machine. Here's what happens:

/ # whoami
root
/ # passwd
Please type a new...

Hi everyone,

I just restored an AIX 6.1 LPAR from one JS12 blade to another. I've done this several times before without issues. But this time, the restore completed successfully, all file...

Thanks, Bakunin. I read through the stickies and the threads you recommended. I have a better understanding now of how all the different fixes (APARs, maintenance levels, technology levels, service...

Hi everyone,
Can anyone explain the best practice for keeping an AIX environment up to date? I have 12 AIX LPARs and a whole slew of vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities vary from OS issues to...

Hi shockneck,

Thanks for the advice. I wasn't aware this is a mirrored LV. How did you determine that with the output I supplied?

Also, after seeing your reply, I tried increasing the file...

Hello all,
I'm trying to grow a file system by 500MB using SMIT on AIX 5.2 but I receive this error:

"0516-404 allocp: This system cannot fulfill the allocation request.
There are not enough...
