Re: Networking a selection of Hercules systems running VM/370rel6

This is only true if Hercules SDL is dynamically creating the interface on Linux or perhaps some other platforms.? If the interface is created outside of Hercules these privileges are not required.

This ability was brought over from the original Hyperion system from which SDL Hercules was cloned.

To my knowledge, which is not close to the details any more, I will admit, this might have changed in SDL Hercules.

This is not to say this specific environment does not require privileged access, just that it is not always required, as far as I know.? I am happily corrected if this is no longer the case.
