I was delegated to perform system administration job while we're in the process of hiring a fulltime System Administrator (send me resume, if you have system administration experience with AIX), and I have a couple questions regarding resource allocation and groups. May someone enligthen me on how I should go about allocating the following resources? (entries in SMIT) Max File Size Max CPU Time Max Data Segment Max Stack Size Max Core File Size Max Physical Memory I notice there is a default setting in /etc/limits. Is the default setting ideal for a production environment? What about development environment? Another question that I have is about groups. There are 8 default groups in /etc/groups, but I can't seem to find the definition for each of the group. I'm particularly interested in knowing the differences between system and sys, and staff and usr. I appreciate all your time and help. -an inexperienced sysadm p/s Does anyone know IBM is working on a Redbook for System Administrators?

I can't give you any good guesses, since I've been just putting in incredible numbers until the machine stops giving my users' errors when the compile and link. |> |> I notice there is a default setting in /etc/limits.

No..but ask for GC24-3489-00, which is titled "AIX Distributed Environments: NFS,NCS,RPC, DS Migration, LAN Maintenance, and Everything" (Whew!). |> |> -- Jon Alperin Bell Communications Research ---> Internet: jona@iscp.bellcore.com ---> Voicenet: (908) 699-8674 ---> UUNET: uunet!bcr!jona * All opinions and stupid questions are my own *
