I'm interested in two customers migrating to RedHat EL 3.

Can I infer from these links

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data...x/ids.html#731
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data...linux/4gl.html

thant only 9.40 are supported on RHEL 3, 7.31 and OnLine won't; and that
there are no versions of 4GL certified for RHEL 3?

thanks
Neil

RHL9 and RHEL3 have the 2.6 kernel's NPTL feature backported. I
believe that 9.40.UC3 was the first IDS port to reliably work with an
NPTL kernel/glibc.

4gl-7.32.UC2 and csdk-2.81.UC3 are working for me.

Urk! Or they were until Red Hat added Exec Stack Randomization to
Update 3 and turned it on by default! And here I believed Red Hat
when they said that Enterprise would be STABLE (as in NO SURPRISES
LIKE BRAND SPANKING NEW FEATURES TURNED ON BY DEFAULT IN A QUARTERLY
UPDATE)!!

What does this mean for me? What updates to we need to avoid?
And what about 7.31 and OnLine?

Today our distributor told another IBM Business Partner: "If a combination
is Generally Available (GA) then it will be supported so Online 5.20 on
Redhat 9 and RHEL3 is ok, so long as it is UC2,"

Read the Update 3 release notes and pick your preferred way to turn off
the new feechur.

'cept that RHL9 is end-of-life and no longer supported by Red Hat.
