AIX 7.1 Installation Notes

• Trying to FTP large files into AIX server will stop at 1GB because of file size limit in /etc/security/limits file. The following line in the file needs to be changed from:
  
  fsize = 2097151
  
  to
  
  fsize = -1
  
  The -1 means that file size is not limited. 
•  OpenSSH (and the dependency, OpenSSL) are not installed by default. They are needed if you wish to remote log into root by default without changing any settings.
• Port forwarding web server ports is performed using:
  ssh -f -g -N -L 80:*:8000 localhost
  ssh -f -g -N -L 443:*:8443 localhost
• /etc/inittab is where you add any commands you want run at boot
