I handed this over to our system programmers with your advice on the matching it with the VM TCPIP MTU spec, and after several attempts, managed to start tarball some smaller files ok. Got to several hundred more files in the webmin tarball. But, the secure shell still hung with loss of keyboard functionality before finishing the tar. They had let Max Transfer Units default for the VM TCP/IP MTU specification. It does, however, appear that you have directed us correctly.
Thank you very much.

This: "I have not been able to regain mouse or keyboard functionality within
it" sounds an awful lot like an MTU mis-match between your system and the
rest of the network.
Ask your VM system programmers what the VM TCP/IP MTU specification is, and
make sure that yours matches (ifconfig iucv0). Then see if the problem goes
away.

Subject: RE: Webmin
The tar command starts, and coincidentally explodes out significantly more
files if I use the PUTTY ssh client as opposed to CigWin, but always stops
in the secure shell short of completely processing the tarball. No errors
complaining of a corrupted tarball file. I have been simply closing the
secure shell as I have not been able to regain mouse or keyboard
functionality within it.
The downloaded file size matches exactly the 5,686,280 bytes you indicated,
and the URL is
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.020.tar.gz?use_mirror=t
elia I used the Reston VA mirror. Webmin v1-030 is also now available.
Unfortunately, I did not see an MD5SUM program to download along with
webmin. I did take the liberty of downloading this file again, but the
results were the same. I also tried tarballing MySQl again - ng.
Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself, but when I requested that the Linux VM
machine be configured, I took the liberty of asking for a few things.
Namely, that the max of 4 processors be specified on the Machine ESA
statement, and that the max of 256MB ram be allocated to the Linux VM User
instead of the default 128. Additionally, I requested that IUCVs be employed
instead of CTCs for improved performance. I was motivated to ask for these
things based upon the Linux VM cookbook that I found at:
http://reason.marist.edu/cookbook.pdf. I suspect that these requests were
ignored. Configuration always made a big difference on other platforms. Why
not under VM? Given the boundary between the system programmers and the
Linux team, I am not sure how to verify the configuration and/or whether it
matters.
Thanks again for both of your responses.

Ken Illingsworth

Ken,
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "hangs." Do you mean _nothing_
happens? (Probably not, since you talk about trying to run setup.sh) Does
tar complain about a corrupted archive? Did you compare the file size to
what was on the FTP/web server? According to what I can find, the file
should be 5,686,280 bytes, with an md5sum of
ca559d49ad71abf721564df8436de2cf.

Subject: Webmin
I just had a linux vm machine configured by our system programmers running
RH v7.2, and decided to try and install Webmin. My problem is that after I
have SFTP'd webmin-1.020.tar.gz to the server, the following command hangs
evey time:
tar -xzvf webmin-1.020.tar.gz
To make matters worse, I tried to launch setup.sh anyway, and got a
non-working webmin (totally blank home page). So, I could stand some
direction on how to remove this flawed webmin installation.
The same anomaly occurs when I try to tarball
mysql-3.23.53-unknown-linux-gnu-s390.tar.gz . At least on this one I
refrained from any setup. This really makes it tough to install programs.
Naturally, I want to blame our system programers for incorrectly setting up
the Linux VM. Especially since this never happened when I tarballed files on
PC's that I configured running various Linux distributions. However, I
thought I would check here first since RH seems to march to the beat of a
different drummer. Are there alternative installation techniques that I
should consider with this OS?
Thank you in advance for your time.
Regards,
Ken Illingsworth
