Description of problem:

The current fence_zvm script uses s3270 (which isn't provided by Fedora).  It also uses perl.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cman-2.99.12-2.fc10.x86_64 (tested F10)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /sbin/fence_zvm -u XXX -p YYY -a some-zvm.example.com

  
Actual results:

write:  connect gss-zvm.z900.redhat.com
read:  open2: exec of s3270 2>&1 failed at /sbin/fence_zvm line 312
failed: communication program failed with 'open2: exec of s3270 2>&1 failed at /sbin/fence_zvm line 312'.


Expected results:

 * Is there a -o option to request "reboot, poweron, poweroff or status" ?

Additional info:

 * s3270 appears to have been replaced by c3270.
 * Additional comments from a email thread with Karsten Hopp ...
