I must admit I am unaware of the problem you mentioned.  I am aware of
APAR PN26209 for V2R2 which described a problem with MVSLEEP not being
reentrant.  As we announced here and as you should have received a letter
in the mail stating, there were no PTFs built for 2.2.0 due to a variety
of problems.  We shipped 2.2.1 to include new function which had been
announced for September, as well as to fix some relatively minor packaging
errors as well as a number of additional bug fixes, most of which had not
been reported as APARs (ie, we found them ourselves thru additional
testing).

I will be the last person to try to explain how auto-reships from ISMD
work.  However, given that 2.2.0 was an auto-ship on its own and that very
few people had manually ordered it, I don't believe that the order in
which you "ordered" 2.2.0 had any bearing on when you received 2.2.1. It
is possible that they were both auto-shipped in the same order.  I don't
know.

Actually, I can tell you that the Yorktown group had no one leave as a
result of the early retirement package and the Raleigh group had only
minor personnel changes, none of which affected the shipping of the
product.  While there was some confusion over 2.2 and 2.2.1 a few weeks
ago, I believe that the letter that was sent to all customers put an end
to that.

Subject:      LPR => RSCS link

We have HP laserjets running the LaserLink software w/RSCS
enhancements. Basically any printer defined to Laser Link
is handled by RSCS drivers from Laserlink that provide
exceptional functionality.

Unfortunately when someone LPR's to the same printer, it appears to
bypass the RSCS drivers and all the escape codes are - as typical with-
out LaserLink - turned into spaces, thereby losing all HP functionality.

So, the question is: is there a way to force LPR'd stuff through RSCS?
(PS Using the binary or filter options do not seem to make any
difference. Translation of escape codes continues to occur.)

One other question for informational purposes: LPR'd material seems to
look like VM PRINT-spooled stuff, never PUNCH-spooled. Is this true
or just a reflection of my lack of understanding?

PTFs for 2.2.1 only started getting built a couple of weeks ago.  I
believe that they are still in test to make sure that they are good (the
downside of a pledge to eliminate PE's is that it can end up taking much
longer to get the fix to the customer because you have to be sure that
it's good before you ship it).  I would expect that they will start
becoming available fairly soon.

Subject: MVS LPR user level access
Hello List,
 I need your assistance.. We using VPS (Levi,Ray & Shoup Inc.) for
our VTAM Printer (lu1/lu3) Support System. I have started discussions
with them about adding a TCP/LPR interface..
 They would like to know that a 'big enough user requirement' exists.
Essentially VPS provides a REMOTE printer number attachable from JES/JCL,
VPS maintains a parameter member for each REMOTE and 'stands in the middle'
of the printer xfer to see it gets done. VPS has always been BLUE and
they may need to be shown the vision of TCPIP in the NEW world. Anyhow,
I see this VPS LPR additional function adding LPR parms to the
parms control and hand off the xfer to IBM TCP LPR and monitor the
print process.
 If you see this as a need please calll

Subject:      RXSOCKET Give/TakeSocket Help Needed

Would  someone kindly  post,  or send  to me  directly,  an example  of
working  code using  RXSOCKET and  the Give/TakeSocket  subfunctions? I
cannot seem  to get around  the error  EINVAL with the  following code.
The result of a GetClientId() call on the intended slave, and a reading
of the GiveSocket help, suggests the following should work.

slaveid = '00000002'x || 'SPCDEMO4        ' || Copies('00'x, 20)
rc = Socket('GiveSocket', his_socket, slaveid)
If rc="-1" Then Call Error "GIVESOCK", errno

I am  using the  RXSOCKET package  from the 92  VMTOOLS tape.  An ideal
response  would  be Give/TakeSocket  implemented  in  the SAMPLE_S  and
SAMPLE_C EXECs included with that package.

Also, what is the Give/TakeSocket SPE  referred to in the RXSOCKET help
files.

I've been playing around with a different, Kerberos based idea.

I would have the SUN or similar box be a KDC.  The first thing that person on
the otherside of the firewall would have to do is KINIT.

Then we would right a Kerberos app, call it KGATE, that would set a special
filter for the user.  The default filter is "No one goes through this gateway".
A general filter could be:  "I'll let port 23 through to subnet xx.xx.xx.xx".
Then there could by authorization tables for different users to allow them the
access they need.

Subject:      TCP MVS 2.2.1 24-bit Unhappy Camper

After using the above for approx. 2 weeks, I'm an unhappy camper
(we were running 2.0.1 previously) --

1)  SMTP rewrite rules (either default, or the modified one posted
    earlier this year) don't work for the following syntax

     cc:   lastname.first  <userid@NJEHostName>

  though it does get written correctly for

     cc:   lastname_first  <userid@NJEHostName>

  Level II contacted

2)  Certain Macs drop then Telnet client session after about
    2.5 minutes when using our Telnet 3270 server (this is
    symptomatically the same as a fixed problem that we
    experienced in 2.0.1 involving HYPERchannel).  Level II
    contacted and they want a MORETRACE TELNET in a standalone
    environment (can't reproduce)

3)  Once FILE 'TCPIP.V221.TRACE'
         MORETRACE TELNET

    are issued, unable to turn off tracing with

         LESSTRACE TELNET
    nor
         LESSTRACE ALL
    nor
         LESSTRACE
    eventually receiving an S878 abend

    Can't figure out how to redirect back to SYSDEBUG Sysout either.

In a related security issue, suppose you have identified the IP address

How do you obtain the hostname or, at least, the domain name of the

Methodologies for both VM and Unix systems are welcome (I can always hop

P.S. I've tried traceroute'ing the address on the Unix box, but this only

Well, we're each half right ;-)

Look at how DMKJRL handles logical terminals -- the "logon inductor count"
is not used in that case, so that a devious cracker can simply switch the
attempted userid each time ... if CP doesn't see multiple attempts against
the same userid, and doesn't see multiple attempts (at different userids)
from the same terminal, ...

        I run with 'xhost +'.   As far as I'm aware,  all that lets you
do to me is pop a window onto my X screen.   If I choose to kill it,
too bad for you.   I don't see how it's a  "security"  hole.

>Do I need to worry about someone eavesdropping on my VM sessions?

        I don't think so,  but obviously would like to know if so.

You can find it via Archie.  Or give me an IP address to upload to...
(address please, our firewall does not have DNS).

Subject:      Nothing is printed - Unicamp

Sometime ago I changed my connection with Ethernet from TCPIPX25 to
IBM 3172. Since this I'm having a problem with LPSERVE from VM to a printer
(laser printer Digital LN03) owned by a workstation SUN (on Ethernet):

When I print a file (VM) the connection is done, the file is sent and
nothing is printed. The messages are:
VM:
 lpr lpd teste (type
lpr to printer "lp" at host "asterix "
Connected to asterix
Data file sent.
Control file sent.
Connection closed.

 lpq (type
lpr to printer "lp" at host "asterix "
Connected to asterix
Warning: no daemon present
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    CCUE004    523  LPD.TESTE                             0 bytes
Connection closed.

When I trace (at ethernet side) I'm sure the file arrives (command etherfind).
Anybody knows what is happening here?

Thank you!
