Ditto. The only SMIT or AIX feature I used/liked.
Oh, that and mksysb.
*maybe* the volume manager, if none was the alternative.
Eventually got to understand (some of) the AIX stanza files &
interactions, though also always hated them -- and no software
worked/ported easily. Then I mercifully escaped AIX, after Wang went ch.11
-- a former manager/colleague had hired me into Wang Australia when they
started selling HP, IBM & MIPS boxen along with PC office networks to avoid
going broke, but weren't quick-footed enough.
