Hi,


I see veritas has brought out opforce which is basically a NIM clone
for installing and maintaining software on unix platforms. One
advantage I see with opforce opposed to NIM is that opforce makes use
of ssh.

Does anybody know if ssh will eventually be used with NIM ? Having to
uncomment the 'r' services out of the inetd file is a pain each time
we use NIM.

Thanks.

Hello,

I am having the following problem:
My RS/6000 has two NIC CARDS, and I want to use two different ip addresses.
The problem I am having is that when I use smitty to change the hostname on
one of the network interfaces...it makes that hostsname the default hostname
for the system.

ex:
name of the machine is name POD and want the additional card to be name POD2
with an ip address of ....but when I use smitty and select that particular
network card it makes POD2 the name of the machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't. Here is what you can do to emulate:

Set the IP config of the primary card with "Minumum Configuration"
Set the IP config of the secondary care with "Further Configuration"

You can't have 2 hostnames on a server.

Hi,
I was told that it should be possible to use ssh with NIM.
Just move rsh to rsh_org and ln -s ssh rsh.
Distribute your public Key from the NIM-Server and so on ...
But i never tried it by myself, maybe next time ....

regards

Volker

Well, the NIM still will use nfs to perform almost all the operations on the
client, so, what's the point of using ssh instead of rsh? basicly you
allowed access to the box from remote host, that remote host is your NIM
master.
If NIM could do all the operations without using NFS then yes, ssh would be
a great help, but changing rsh to ssh and leaving NFS up and running...

Of Course you won't get rid of NFS,
but NFS in NIM is trigerred by the NIM-Operations, no task -> no NFS (empty
(etc/exports .. ).
The r-daemons instead would run all the time, IMHO a shlightly increase of
security by using
ssh anyway.

Hi,


I tried this but it did not work. nim was still looking for a rshd
daemon on the client.
