Security on z/VM

By: Paola Bari,Helio Almeida,Gary Detro,David Druker,Marian Gasparovic,Manfred Gnirss,Jean Francois Jiguet,IBM Redbooks

Discussions about server sprawl, rising software costs, going green, or moving data centers to reduce the cost of business are held in many meetings or conference calls in many organizations throughout the world. And many organizations are starting to turn toward System zTM and z/VM® after such discussions. The virtual machine operating system has over 40 years of experience as a hosting platform for servers, from the days of VM/SP, VM/XA, VM/ESA® and especially now with z/VM. With the consolidation of servers and conservative estimates that approximately seventy percent of all critical corporate data reside on System z, we find ourselves needing a highly secure environment for the support of this infrastructure. This document was written to assist z/VM support and security personnel in providing the enterprise with a safe, secure and manageable environment. This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides an overview of security and integrity provided by z/VM and the processes for the implementation and configuration of z/VM Security Server, z/VM LDAP Server, IBM Tivoli® Directory Server for z/OS®, and Linux® on System z with PAM for LDAP authentication. Sample scenarios with RACF® database sharing between z/VM and z/OS, or through Tivoli Directory Integrator to synchronize LDAP databases, are also discussed in this book. This book provides information about configuration and usage of Linux on System z with the System z Cryptographic features documenting their hardware and software configuration. The Consul zSecure Pro Suite is also part of this document: this product helps to control and audit security not only on one system, but can be used as a single point of enterprise wide security control. This document covers the installation and configuration of this product and detailed information is presented on how z/Consul can be used to collect and analyze z/VM security data and how it can be helpful in the administration of your audit data.

Gonna Do Great Things

The Life of Sammy Davis, Jr.

By: Gary Fishgall

A major reappraisal of the life of legendary entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr., Gonna Do Great Things is at once an intimate portrait and an exuberant celebration of a wholly American icon. Through his multifaceted talent and personality, Sammy became one of the most magnetic and contentious figures in modern entertainment history. His outstanding talents as a dancer, singer, actor, impressionist, and comedian, combined with his close association with megastars and his interracial marriage, made him a celebrity in the truest sense. Born in Harlem in 1925, Sammy debuted onstage with Will Mastin's vaudeville troupe when he was only three years old. He was an instant hit, and his talent propelled him into one of the most luminous entertainment careers of his generation. No one could please a crowd like Sammy, whose overwhelming energy and infectious humor exhilarated audiences for sixty years. However, Sammy's life was not without hardship, and his high-spirited attitude often masked a fragile ego. From an impoverished, broken home, he lacked even a single day of formal education, and the rigors of his blossoming show business career denied him the traditional pleasures of childhood. Racism constantly affected his life, particularly when he joined the army in 1943. Because he refused to acknowledge any race-related restrictions, his very existence became a political statement. An active member of the Civil Rights movement and America's first African-American superstar, Sammy paved the way for other black entertainers. As a charter member of the Rat Pack, Sammy spent the 1950s and 1960s basking in an image of "cool" and endearing himself to the public. But by the 1970s he was relying on cocaine and alcohol, flirting with Satanism, indulging in scandalous sexual behavior, and becoming the punchline of jokes on Saturday Night Live. Though his fans still adored him, his performances suffered. A four-pack-a-day smoker, Sammy succumbed to cancer when he was sixty-four, shortly after celebrating six decades in the spotlight. Renowned biographer of Hollywood giants Jimmy Stewart, Burt Lancaster, and Gregory Peck, Gary Fishgall brings an actor's and director's understanding of the entertainment industry to Sammy's complicated existence. Meticulously researched and filled with insights gathered from interviews with those who knew Sammy best, Gonna Do Great Things reveals the fascinating and controversial life of this beloved entertainer.

The Killing Game

By: Gary Webb

Gary Webb had an inborn journalistic tendency to track down corruption and expose it. For over thirty-four years, he wrote stories about corruption from county, state, and federal levels. He had an almost magnetic effect to these kinds of stories, and it was almost as if the stories found him. It was his gift, and, ultimately, it was his downfall. He was best known for his story Dark Alliance, written for the San Jose Mercury News in 1996. In it Webb linked the CIA to the crack-cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles during the Iran Contra scandal. His only published book, Dark Alliance is still a classic of contemporary journalism. But his life consisted of much more than this one story, and The Killing Game is a collection of his best investigative stories from his beginning at the Kentucky Post to his end at the Sacramento News & Review. It includes Webb's series at the Kentucky Post on organized crime in the coal industry, at the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Ohio State’s negligent medical board, and on the US military’s funding of first-person shooter video games. The Killing Game is a dedication to his life’s work outside of Dark Alliance, and it’s an exhibition of investigative journalism in its truest form.
