All these letters run together after a while! I'm guessing you meant SMTP - which maybe should be CSSMTP in z/OS V1R11 Communication Server. See "3.3.1 New SMTP client for sending Internet mail" in z/OS V1R11 Communications Server (CS) New Function Summary, GC31-8771-05: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1f250/3.3.1 and "2.18.1.8 Differences between CSSMTP and SMTPD" in z/OS V1R11 CS IP Configuration Guide, SC31-8775-15: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi- bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1b390/2.18.1.8 If you're running COMMONSEARCH as a "resolver" statement and outgrown HOMETEST, you may well then qualify for not needing to bother with that irritating VMCF/TNF customisation when you set up V1R11. Of course you might have meant SNMP in which case I've been wasting my time! - It sounds as if you might have performed the minimum installation of SYSLOGD without having taken the trouble to read up what it can do for you and performed any customisation of the syslogd.conf file: 1.5.1 Configuring the syslog daemon http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1b390/1.5.1 The sample syslogd.conf file shown in the z/OS CS IP Configuration Guide is very strong on comments but patience is finally rewarded with a - sound the trumpets! - statement that does something at the very end: # Write all messages with priority err and higher to log file errors. # # THIS EXAMPLE STATEMENT IS UNCOMMENTED. # *.err /var/log/%Y/%m/%d/errors Perhaps your question - once you've read though what SYSLOGD can do for you - is to ask what handy customisation folk might have performed in order to benefit from having SYSLOGD around. - The best place for this question is the IBMTCP-L list: For IBMTCP-L subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBMTCP-L - Chris Mason On Tue, 22 Mar 2011 09:24:54 -0700, John Norgauer <[email protected]> wrote: >We have SYSLOGD running in our test LPAR and to-date have not really seen >any use or have figured out any use for this daemon. > >Has your installation used this daemon for any meaningful purpose or has >NOT having it running caused any grief? > >I am considering putting it into my new z/OS 1.11 production platform but >have reservations about doing so. > >Our shop is running CICS, DB2 lots of FTP's SNTP and SFTP. > > > >John Norgauer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
