Abstract: Provided are techniques for receiving a packet transmitted in conjunction with a security association associated with Internet Protocol Security (IPSec); determining, based upon the security Association that the packet is faulty; incrementing a count corresponding to previous faulty packets received; determining that the count exceeds a threshold; and disabling IPSec accelerator hardware in response to the determining that the count exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: A method of processing multiple workload using virtualized operating system environments. The creation of a new user in a global operating system may automatically cause the creation of a working partition (WPAR) instance. The user will be associated with the WPAR instance and a virtualized operating system environment will be created from the global operating system within the WPAR instance. Within the WPAR instance, the user may be assigned a root identification which enables the user to have root access privileges to perform operations or processes that may only be performed by a root user. The removal of a user from the system also results in the deletion of the associated WPAR.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for an improved virtualized operating system environment file-system are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A computer receives a write request for a part in the virtualized operating system environment file-system. The computer determines whether the part in the virtualized operating system environment file-system is a link to a second part in a host file-system. The computer, responsive to the part in the virtualized operating system environment file-system being the link, replaces the link with content of the second part the content replacing the link forming a writable copy of the part.
