On Solaris, either run xntpd (see the man pages for details) _or_ add a proper ntpdate command to your root crontab. xntpd would be more accurate, but wants more network resources. On the NT boxes, use the scheduler or the "AT" command to run a "NET TIME" command periodically. NET TIME has an undocumented "/yes" option to suppress prompts so you can run it this way. On the PCs, I run "netdate" which, although its author says is obsolete, is an excellent freeware time-setter. It would be a good alternative for NT, too, if your site's policies allow you to run outside freeware on servers. So, my little site is a "time tree." The Solaris box synchs to a number of remote Stratun 2 time servers, and I synch the NT boxes and desktop PCs from the Solaris box. -Shel From sunhelp at sunhelp.org Thu Nov 1 10:10:59 2001 From: sunhelp at sunhelp.org (sunhelp at sunhelp.org) Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 16:10:59 +0000 Subject: [SunHELP] solaris 8 upgrade exam Message-ID: Hi, Has anyone appeared for solaris 8 upgrade exam ??

What concerns me the most is that > Anybody with first hand knowledge? Yes. In order to match the amperages that the Sun ps puts out, you'll have to find a 500W atx model (CompUSA has them). Then you have to modify it slightly. If you look at that second connector, you'll see the one on the U10 has some black wires and some orange wires. (doing this from memory 'cuz I don't want to open up the U10 right now...) If I recall correctly, the orange is 3.something V. The standard atx supply has one of those orange wires replaced with a red one (5.something V) which would be a Bad Thing to plug into your U10. Change that red wire and it should work. Don't change it, and everything will fit, but you'll fry your CPU. Good luck! What's wrong with your ps, anyway? Mine was a bad solder joint, which I fixed. Didn't end up using the 500W one anyway... ---sambo From sunhelp at sunhelp.org Thu Nov 1 14:31:49 2001 From: sunhelp at sunhelp.org (Fogg, James) Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 12:31:49 -0800 Subject: [SunHELP] I suck.

Not sure exactly where the improvement cam from and this is purely word of mouth, but gives weight to the E version. Also if you can find it go for the 200E which had the faster processor. IMHO the U1E was one of the best machines for its time (cooling fan excepted) Sun have produced.

It's always possible for a deadlock to occur in the kernel, and deadlocks usually appear as hangs to the user. That being said, it's certainly possible that whatever caused the alleged deadlock was co-incident with the EMFILE error.

Message-ID: <21813A39DCB1D511B25B00B0D01762DE059B77@BORMES02> Hi, I'm running Solaris 2.6. Basically my question is : Does any bug report facility exist for Sun Solaris ? I must presice "bug report" instead of "hotline" (something like sending an email to "solaris2.6-bugreport at sun.com"). I was facing a bug in "login" when I try to login in a account whose password has expired (through the "password aging" facility). In this situation, login said "choose a new password" but it crashed (SIGSEGV caught) and telnetd closed the connection. # telnet localhost Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. login: user1 Password: Choose a new password. Disconnected from iris. (Well, the user1 can't actually choose a new password as you see). Finally I found the source of the bug : a misconfigured /etc/shadow entry, combined with a bug in "login": user1:6ARTtEO5peUOQ:11543:5:90:7 This entry is wrong according to the "shadow" manpage, which specifies a 9 fiels entry, so I added the 3 remaining blank fields : user1:6ARTtEO5peUOQ:11543:5:90:7::: After this correction, the problem was solved but I would have prefered "login" to tell me what was wrong instead of crashing. The truth is that "login" has a bug, and tried to access a null pointer before catching SIGSEGV. As a proof, here is the "truss" output of the crashed "login": 27436/1: write(1, " C h o o s e a n e w".., 23) = 23 27436/1: stat64("/usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1", 0xEFFFFC60) = 0 27436/1: door_info(3, 0xEFFFACA0) = 0 27436/1: door_call(3, 0xEFFFAC88) = 0 27436/1: open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) = 5 27436/1: open("/etc/shadow", O_RDONLY) = 6 27436/1: fstat64(5, 0xEFFF60B8) = 0 27436/1: ioctl(5, TCGETA, 0xEFFF6044) Err#25 ENOTTY 27436/1: read(5, " r o o t : x : 0 : 1 : S".., 8192) = 3075 27436/1: fstat64(6, 0xEFFF60B8) = 0 27436/1: brk(0x0002EC18) = 0 27436/1: brk(0x00030C18) = 0 27436/1: ioctl(6, TCGETA, 0xEFFF6044) Err#25 ENOTTY 27436/1: read(6, " r o o t : . 4 e z A W l".., 8192) = 1831 27436/1: Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS %pc = 0xEF605E54 27436/1: siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x00000000 27436/1: Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [default] 27436/1: siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x00000000 27436/1: *** process killed *** As you can see, "login" didn't parse the /etc/shadow missing field and then tried to access the resulting null-pointer string. This is a bug as login didn't detect the wrong shadow entry (Trying to access a null pointer is always a bug, isn't it ?). The usual behaviour is to print a diagnostic message (e.g. "invalid shadow entry") either on the screen or through syslog, and to exit normally. Well, I searched in the sunsolve database, but did not find any patch adressing this bug. The only patchs adressing login and/or PAM stuff I found are : 105665-03,106257-05 and 106271-08. I applied theses patchs, but they don't solve this particular bug. Now I would like to tell to SUN "Hey, there is an ugly bug in the Solaris 2.6 login, here are the facts, you'd better correct it", without using the SUN local Hotline, which is always a time consuming task ("First apply the last recommended patchs cluster, and then we'll try to help you"). As I'm not aware of any bug report facility, any suggestion will be appreciated. --- Sebastien DAUBIGNE sebastien.daubigne at sema.fr - (+33) (0)5.57.26.56.36 Sema Global Services - AFM/DW/Pessac From sunhelp at sunhelp.org Mon Nov 5 12:35:53 2001 From: sunhelp at sunhelp.org (Michael Karl) Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2001 19:35:53 +0100 Subject: [SunHELP] Too many files open ?

With Stop-A, you could just to Stop-A, then type 'sync' at the ok prompt. If you don't have Stop-A, I'd suspect a problem at a level lower than the kernel itself. I suspect an keyboard or console device driver problem, or something worse, like a system board or CPU problem. Those are just guesses. All I can say for sure is that something is wrong if you lose the ability to do Stop-A. I don't know what else you can do to force a crash dump, unfortunately. If this is an important machine and you have a Sun support contract, I'd open a ticket and be ready to escalate it quickly if the machine locks up like that again. Sorry I couldn't help more.

We've got a Lexmark Z22-Z32 on a Windows machine, and it does seem to be some sort of Windows-only printer. When connected to the Wintel machine via USB, it will only print from Windows, not even from DOS applications. When connected via the parallel port, it will print from both Windows and DOS apps, but very, very slowly. This "no DOS on USB" bit of information is buried in the Windows help file for the printer, not exactly the first place a DOS user would look. Note that this is not neccessarily the same printer, and certainly not the same OS, you're asking about; I'm just giving evidence that your "Windows-only" supposition may be correct. -Shel From sunhelp at sunhelp.org Tue Nov 6 10:33:43 2001 From: sunhelp at sunhelp.org (Adams, Christopher) Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2001 08:33:43 -0800 Subject: [SunHELP] subscribe Message-ID: This message is in MIME format.

Solaris assumes you'll want to NFS share home directories so it sets them up to be exported via /export/home. If you're actually using /home for user profiles then that is a problem, as you've seen. I suppose as an alternative you could move /home to /export/spare/ then symlink say "ln -s /export/spare/home /home", although I think creating a proper /export/home is a better solution, imo.

Solaris assumes you'll want to NFS share home directories so it sets them up to be exported via /export/home. If you're actually using /home for user profiles then that is a problem, as you've seen. I suppose as an alternative you could move /home to /export/spare/ then symlink say "ln -s /export/spare/home /home", although I think creating a proper /export/home is a better solution, imo. > > > > On 06 Nov 2001 13:44:11 -0600 > "Ben Ricker" wrote: > > > Weird.

This was a PC BIOS issue (I think) and 2.6 driver only looks at these parameters. Sol 8 looks at the drives differently and hence can use the full capacity. The way Sun get around this with the 9Gb disks is because the Seagate 9Gb reports the cylinders etc differently to the normal disks. So if you can find a disk which reports the cylinders correctly, 2.6 may work with >8Gb disks.

If I am, why don't you explain the situation? If you use one illegal license, you are not "quite honest". Have even contacted the vendor? Many times they will provide temporary license and/or extensions. BTW, the other person who responded on SunHelp works for the vendor whose product you are using/misusing.

I also know why, and if you build this one statically and strip it, you'll be safe. If you don't like the idea, come up with a different one. The only problem with my version of bash is the fact that you lose previous history when you log out. I had to do that, or it would feed all of it into the log every time you log in.

Using this script, you will still have to identify the files that you want to omit, but you can do so once rather than including the file names every time you create a tar file. Before we look at the script, let's review the tar command's option for excluding files. The exclude option is called into play using the X option. The corresponding argument identifies the file containing the names of files to be excluded. Since tar's options are positional, the X option must occupy the same position in the option list as the argument in the argument list. In other words, either of the following syntax forms would be acceptable: tar cvfX or tar cvXf If the directory that you're tarring up is static, you can easily create an exclude file and use it all the time. It's when the contents of the directory change regularly that you'll save yourself work by creating an exclude file "on the fly". Simply putting "logs" in the exclude file would only omit the "logs" directory (or a "logs" file) if it were in the immediate directory. Therefore, we need to be a bit more clever. In the script below, we use the find command to create a list of files to be excluded. The find command allows us to create a list based using regular expressions. For example, we're going to omit any directories that are called "logs" or anything ending with the word "logs". ----------------------------- cut here --------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # # tar-wo-logs PWD=`pwd` if [ $# = 0 ]; then echo Enter directory name read DIR cd $DIR else cd $1 fi echo "/opt/jrun/jsm-default/services/jse/servlets/jsp" > /tmp/$$ find . -type d -name "*logs" -print | sed "s,^./,," >> /tmp/$$ find . -type d -name "cache" -print| sed "s,^./,," >> /tmp/$$ find . -type d -name "core" -print| sed "s,^./,," >> /tmp/$$ BASE=`basename $DIR` tar cvXf /tmp/$$ $PWD/$BASE.tar * rm /tmp/$$ ----------------------------- cut here --------------------------------- The script first checks to see whether it was invoked with arguments. If it was, it prompts for the name of the directory to be tarred up. It then creates an exclude file using a series of find commands, storing it in /tmp. The script uses the base command to create a simple name for the tar file. For example, if we are tarring up /usr/gnu, the resultant tar file will be called gnu.tar. As a last step, we get rid of the temp file (my Mom always told me to clean up after myself). Hope this helps. Dennis L.

Take a look at these extracts from a newsletter column ti= tled "Trimming Tar Files" By Sandra Henry-Stocker

In this newsletter, we're going to look at a simple scrip= t for creating
tar files free of unwanted clutter. Using this script, y= ou will still
have to identify the files that you want to omit, but yo= u can do so
once rather than including the file names every time you= create a tar
file.

Before we look at the script, let's review the tar comman= d's option for
excluding files. The exclude option is called into play = using the X
option.  The corresponding argument identifies the = file containing the
names of files to be excluded.  Since tar's options= are positional, the
X option must occupy the same position in the option lis= t as the
argument in the argument list.  In other words, eit= her of the following
syntax forms would be acceptable:

    tar cvfX <tarfile> <exclude-f= ile> <file list>

or

    tar cvXf <exclude-file> <tarf= ile> <file list>

If the directory that you're tarring up is static, you ca= n easily
create an exclude file and use it all the time.  It= 's when the contents
of the directory change regularly that you'll save yours= elf work by
creating an exclude file "on the fly".

Simply putting "logs" in the exclude file would= only omit the "logs"
directory (or a "logs" file) if it were in the= immediate directory. 
Therefore, we need to be a bit more clever. In the scrip= t below, we use
the find command to create a list of files to be exclude= d.  The find
command allows us to create a list based using regular e= xpressions. 
For example, we're going to omit any directories that ar= e called "logs"
or anything ending with the word "logs".

rm /tmp/$$
----------------------------- cut here -----------------= ----------------

The script first checks to see whether it was invoked wit= h arguments. 
If it was, it prompts for the name of the directory to b= e tarred up. 
It then creates an exclude file using a series of find c= ommands,
storing it in /tmp.

The script uses the base command to create a simple name = for the tar
file.  For example, if we are tarring up /usr/gnu, = the resultant tar
file will be called gnu.tar.  As a last step, we ge= t rid of the temp
file (my Mom always told me to clean up after myself).

Hope this helps.

Subject: [SunHELP] Tar & exclusions


I'm trying to get tar to exclude backing up the /dev/fd d= irectory but I can't get it to work. It still gets stuck on scrolling "= ;a /dev/fd/0 0 tape blocks" forever. This is a Sparc20 w/no floppy at = all. Here is the command I'm running:

# tar cvX excludes /

The excludes file contains the following
/proc
/dev
/etc/mnttab
/var/run
/tmp
/cdrom
/devices
/floppy

I tried a test by running "tar cvX test /var" w= ith the test file only containing
/var/run
and it worked perfectly. I don't see the difference in t= he two commands besides the target. What am I missing here? And yes, I've b= een reading 'man tar' for many many hours. I tried putting "/dev/fd&qu= ot; in the excludes file also to no avail. I HATE man pages w/o decent exam= ples.

This is Sun tar, not gtar.

Slow.....what does slow mean exactly? slow compiling? slow booting? slow serving files? slow running across the room? And just how slow is slow? Your slow telnet response is likely due to the server trying to resolve the name of the host trying to telnet in. Make sure it's resolvable in /etc/hosts or via DNS.

Message-ID: <20011108091819.85036.qmail@web20302.mail.yahoo.com> After the great deal of helpful advice everyone gave me about the Ultra 1 vs. the Sparc20... I decided to look for a Ultra 1 200E... someone was offering a barebones system for $400, which was WAY outta my league... so I declined. Recently I found someone else offering me a decked out fully decked out Ultra 5 system for $500. I briefly had some experience with an Ultra 5 about two years ago... everything seemed to be PCI/IDE... So my question is... how does the Ultra 5 compare to the Ultra 1? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi, We had two SunBlade 1000s delivered a couple of weeks ago, one failed last week (panics, crash dumps, multiple reboots), went through the full "patch it up to within an inch of its life", no joy. Sun field engineer fixing it as I type, has brought new motherboard, memory and cpu. We have also had 6 out of 8 Ultar10s fail whilst still under warranty.

We'd already contacted Sun and the machine is under warranty and a support contract, but they claim that from the information in the log and Explorer diagnosstics that they cannot diagnose the problem and want us to wait for it to happen again (which will be a 4th time), so I guess we will and hope we don't inconvenience our users too much. If it does turn out to be a well known problem related to either simple seating or faulty components, I think we'll be a bit cranky!

Whan I tried to find out I was not able to figure it out. I hope there is a way to do it...... My solution was to to create another script say "subscript.sh" and call that script. Then have subscript.sh do the "exec" thing. once sub script finishes then the main script will be executing and output/loging goes to where it was previously. Hope this helps. I still would like to know how to reset the stdout stderr thing if some one knows how to do it.

Everything works well, except that there is one little quirk that I'd like to get rid of. The pkgmk command insists on querying for an instance to make. The following packages are available: 1 <PKGNAME> <PKG Description> (sparc) <Version> Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: I would like to be able to skip this query and automatically build #1, or all. The pkgmk man page says that an instance can be specified on the command line, but the man page is very vague on what effect this will have on the operation of it. pkginst A package designation by its instance. An instance can be the package abbreviation or a specific instance (for example, inst.1 or inst.2). All instances of a package can be requested by inst.*. The asterisk character (*) is a special character to some shells and may need to be escaped. In the C-Shell, "*" must be surrounded by single quotes (') or preceded by a backslash (\). I've tried 1, init.*, init.\*, init.1, <PKGNAME>, <PKGNAME>.1, with no results. <PKGNAME>.1 creates a second entry on the list. I'm also not even certain that specifying this parameter in any form will cause this prompt to be skipped. Anyone have any ideas?

One time it was the gbic on the controller and a couple of other times I had the one in the SENA causing the problem. As you are probably aware many of the gbic modules produced by Vixel have flaked out. I find the best results with the ones made by IBM. If dual pathed can you replace the gbic modules, one at a time, with system up? Or have you already tried replacing them?

If you want to use something other than gcc, I believe you only option is to buy a Workshop license from Sun. The price isn't apporpriate to your needs in this case, so I think you're stuck with gcc.

Basically ">&" is a front-end for the "dup" syscall (man dup/dup2)=20 which duplicates a file decriptor to any other free file descriptor. Here is a sample script :=20 # First backup stdout/stderr to fds 5 and 6,=20 # then redirects stdout/stderr to file. # Be carefull to keep the ">&" operators in this order # (sh interprets it from left to right) exec 5>&1 6>&2 1> file 2>&1 # Do the job=20 .... # First restore stdout/stderr to original values # then close backup fds 5 and 6 exec 1>&5 2>&6 5>&- 6>&- Note that you have to make sure that the backup file descriptors=20 (5 and 6 in this example) are not currently in use before using the=20 first exec. For instance, ksh usually opens fd 63 for .sh_history file. As far as I = know, sh basically doesn't open any fd except standards in/out/err=20 FDs (0/1/2).

The 'xbox' is the Sun SBus expansion box, it isn't supported on either the Ultra 10 (as that's a PCI machine) or 64-bit Solaris. This shouldn't be causing your problems. Chris.

The screen was too big. Plus it would work on a cheapie HP 15" non-multisync monitor but not my Sun 19" monitor I held down "stop-n" as I powered-on the blade to reset the OBP settings. I did this several times and finally the Sun monitor synced with the Blade. IT still worked with the cheapie HP monitor which surprised me since no other Sun Blade/Ultra2,5,10,SS5.SS10 would evern work with it. Anyway, after the monitor synced, I have not had any problem.

The normal reason for the error you are getting is either that the CDROM is not Sun bootable. I have run the Plextor drives with the BLOCK jumper on (4x drive only) and that booted a Sun CD fine. I would suggest therefore getting a real Sun CD (or image copy) and try that. Do not forget that the Sun CD has special boot info on it and is treated like a disk (hence the BLOCK jumper) to boot from initially.

The JetAdmin process works: I end up with a printer (named "appix") that spools locally and gives me good output. This is fine as far as it goes, but I'd really like to off-load my print spooling to the NT boxes and their administrators! In an effort to link a local printer name with a remote (NT 4) queue, I issue the following command: ----- # lpadmin -p appixq -s pvdres02\!appix -I PostScript,simple \ -T PS -D "HP200dn-Appix" ----- But when I run 'lpstat -p all' or 'lpstat -p appixq' I get a message that the printer appixq doesn't exist. (This doesn't worry me much, as the file still gets sent to the printer.) See, a text file sent to the local (HP JetAdmin) queue comes out just fine, but one sent through the NT queue "stair-steps" across the page. This leads to my actual question: is my setup of the Solaris queue (named "appixq") the problem, or is the NT queue mis-handling my incoming request? My initial suspicion is that the Solaris queue (named "appixq") which just forwards to the NT queue is mis-configured, since the local JetAdmin queue works fine. I can't force too many things on the NT queue, since I will be sending PostScript through it. (But are the NT admins filtering my print jobs and I just don't know it?) I tried to make the queue named appixq behave like the JetAdmin queue, but lpadmin returns an error message telling me that I can't use the -e option on a remote printer. I have read the Summary on the web at: http://www.sunhelp.org/pipermail/sunhelp/2001-April/010022.html ...but the instructions it includes are for SCO. Clearly I am missing a few vital pieces of clue; can anyone help me?

I administer a Web app that is run through a JVM on Solaris. We are moving to a failover mod where there will be multiple JVMs running on one machine. The problem I am having is loggin the PIDs of the processes. Before, I would start the JVM, sleep for 5 seconds, the pgrep for 'java' and write the returned PID to a file. Now that there are two JVMs, both PIDs are being written to the file! I tried separating them out but no joy. I am able to get the first JVMs PID written to a file. It is when I exec the second JVM that I get both PIDs written because there are two JVMs running. I thought I could do some sort of compare of the two PIDs returned to the file and only write the sequentially later PID, but I am uncertain how to do that. Any direction would be most appreciated.

Then use pgrep or some combination of ps and a filter to find processes with ppids of javapid1 and javapid2. Hope this helps (or at least isn't too off the mark).

I mean it would be nice if the person who asked a question could write a little summary message with the result of his investigations. I am sure that there are people who reply directly to the sender and not to the list. It would make this list much more useful. As I read through the messages alot of the time I see questions and then there would be several people kind enough to give their opinion. However there is almost never closure on a subject. Which of the posible options actually worked? Which did not work at all? Were there discussions that was sent to the sender off line(not via the mail list) that provided a solution? I thought this was common netiquette? You have asked for a solution. Some one was kind enough to help you. So you SHOULD summerise the answer so others can also benifit. I know this list is different from the sunmanagers list but that list is very useful mainly because of the summaries provided there. Hope this Helps improve our little mail list.

I've also looked in the FAQs, and although it says that there is a 32GB limit, I've heard of people using the disks anyways and having them work. Am I wrong about this?? Any confirmed stories of things working or not working? I'm asking because I want to put some Maxtor 120GB disks into either a E450 or x86 machine, because we need that much capacity! Any suggestions on increasing capacity without breaking the bank would be great too.

You should be able to buy a standard SCSI drive and external enclosure to mount it in. The local vendor that I use is pretty good about taking care of the legwork for things like this (www.uptime.net, out of Edmond, OK). Go take a look at www.pricewatch.com at the prices for SCSI drives. Also, select Cases, then look at the SCSI subcategory. 2. Make sure the drive is one supported on both systems (hardware wise). If they are both Solaris, make sure you use UFS. Make sure that you POWER off the machines when attaching or unattaching the drive. 3. When booting the machine up after attaching it, stop it before it gets into the boot process and type boot -r at the OK prompt to make Solaris reconfigure everything in /dev. Better yet, do a "touch /reconfigure" before shutting down to attach the drive. There's also a way to do this without shutting down the machine, "drvconfig; disks", but you've got to have the machine powered down to attach the drive anyway. You are going to have to use format to set up the slices and newfs to make the filesystem. To mount the drive, use "mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/ ", assuming that you are using UFS. ----- Nathan Nichols Unix System Administrator Cicada - http://www.cicadacorp.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Moreau Nicole M NPRI [mailto:MoreauNM at Npt.NUWC.Navy.Mil] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 3:35 PM To: 'sunhelp at sunhelp.org' Subject: [SunHELP] External SCSI Drive Greetings all - I have a Sun Blade 1000 running Solaris 8 that I need to buy an external SCSI drive for.

We have some workstations in a similar config to yours, but use solstice disksuite to mirror internal and external disks, then remove the external to boot a second machine, a sort of "quick clone". We also use external disks on some systems as "data only", so a reboot is not necessary when moving them, just drvconfig, devlinks and disks commands (devfsadm in Sol8?). NB, if doing this with a sunblade you need a special short enclosure, as some of the internal hardware gets in the way of a full length 5.25 bay. -- Paul Nutton, sysadmin, awe plc, naff company disclaimer to follow -- _______________________________________________________________________________ The information in this email and in any attachment(s) is commercial in confidence.

Message-ID: <20011116115135.A97157@fielden.org> I'm tracing a problem with IpMP, and which interface is chosen as the source interface. We are following the 'blueprints' article on best practices, and it says to (essentially) configure two reals, one named virtual, and one dummy virtual (minimum -- with only two interfaces in a group). The question is, how does one determine that packets are sent out the 'named virtual', and not the dummy? I was told: The source IP for outbound packets is determined as follows: * Select interface-group for destination network based on routing table * If source IP is explicitly specified via bind() then use that. * If source IP is unspecified ([$PRODUCT] currently does this, bug filed to get everyone bind()ing the source IP explicitly) then use the first UP, non-DEPRECATED IP addr in the list, sorted by the order in which the IPs were added. So, if you have three non-DEPRECATED IP addrs on an interface-group, then the IP which was added first (and appears earliest in 'ifconfig -a') will be the source IP addr. Generally this will be the base IP addr for the host, and not one of the virtuals. (ie machine, not machine-dum) The problem is this doesn't work, in practice. A dummy interface was added post-boot to a machine, then all packets were sent out that interface, even though it was later in ifconfig, added later, mature routing table was running on the machine, etc. We *are* still at MU4, so are running in.rdisc to get around a couple of in.mpathd bugs, but with all 4 interfaces on the same network, the routing table shouldn't change by adding another interface, besides the obvious addition of a network-specific route added through the new interface as it's plumb'ed and brought up. Anyone have cluons? -- "We are either doing something, or we are not. 'Talking about' is a subset of 'not'."

Is this a vt100 terminal, a xterm or what? To get an understaing of the problem you can read http://www.squish.net/delbs.html, I do not know if that is the correct solution as I have found noone to trust enough on this problem yet. My solution was to map Shift+Ctrl+Backspace in xterm[2] to do set-backarrow(toggle) [1]. This changes the backspace key in xterm but does not help much on console. xterms can also use Ctrl-Backspace for changing between ^? and ^H. [1] xterm*VT100.Translations: #override\n\ Ctrl ShiftBackSpace: set-backarrow(toggle) [2] By xterm I mean a recent version of the one included in XFree http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.html, it compiles nicely on Solaris 8.

I am in a dispute with a network guy about where the issue lies. I have my 'defaultrouter' set to my gateway. Everything routes on our internal network perfectly fine. We brought on some customers accessing us through VPN. I attempted to route to the new subnet and traceroute was failing at the first hop! I had to add a static route to the host setting the defaultrouter as the default gateway for routing that host and BANG! Works. So, am I blaming the network guys for nothing or what? I cannot explain why other subnets within our network route "out of the box" but these subnets just added do not until I explicitley add a static route to it.

Thanks to Don Varner.... Here's what I use to copy to a new drive of the same size and geometry. Before using dd make SURE you know which disk you're wanting to copy or you'll end up with TWO fresh clean disks. ;^) This example assumes c0t0d0 is the source and c0t1d0 is the target. - prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 > /drive0.vtoc - fmthard -s /drive0.vtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 - dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 of=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 bs=128b That's the easy way. If you don't have identical disks, follow these steps. Let's say you have an existing three partition disk with root, usr and var. The drive is c0t0d0 with root at s0, usr at s3 and var at s5 and you want the new disk to also have three partitions. The new disk is at c0t1d0. -Partition and label the new disk using format. Don't forget a swap partition. Create file systems - newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 (Also s3 & s5) - mkdir /newroot /newusr /newvar - mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /newroot - mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3 /newusr - mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5 /newvar - cd /tmp - ufsdump 0f - / | (cd /newroot; ufsrestore -rf -) - ufsdump 0f - /usr | (cd /newusr; ufsrestore -rf -) - ufsdump 0f - /var | (cd /newvar; ufsrestore -rf -) - installboot bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 No need to edit vfstab if you change the target address on the new disk before booting. --- Martn Marqus wrote: > We have a ULTRASPARC station with a modest 4Gig > disk, and we are about to get > an 80Gig disk, but to use it, we need to free the > one thats being used at the > moment. > Is there a way to do it without having to reinstall > everything?

(the window manager is fvwm) http://infinitejazz.net/will/geek/xwin.jpg fvwm and some other window managers will compile as well, so in theory you can run X natively on the windows machine too. exceed (what most people at my work use for this type of thing) can do a few extra things. you can paste between the windows desktop and the X session for example. there's a program that's supposed to do this for the cygwin XFree, but IIRC it's still beta (and i wasn't able to get it working easily). i didn't really try that hard since i don't run windows and was just setting this up to test things out mostly. not that i would encourage illegal behaviour, but i'd imagine that there are pirated versions of exceed out there somewhere. sorry i didn't have more info in my last post, but i was on a console login at a remote location and couldn't easily find the relevant links. you will most likely have to write a simple batch file to run the correct X query sequence to the server. installing all the cygwin stuff is REALLY easy (it has a graphical installer), and i've found it to be of very high quality. if you have to run windows, it's almost a necessity. it's very nice (and also amusing) to be able to do: c:\ bash Administrator at machine$ from a dos prompt. w -- GPG Public Key: http://infinitejazz.net/will/pgp/ From sunhelp at sunhelp.org Wed Nov 21 17:38:05 2001 From: sunhelp at sunhelp.org (Matt Bettinger) Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2001 17:38:05 -0600 Subject: [SunHELP] Re: [SunHELP]yes!Was-Invalid Sbus slot number 6 References: <3BF78605.8DE5485E@houston.rr.com> Message-ID: <3BFC3ADD.49EF9E98@houston.rr.com> Hello, Just wanted to say a big thank you to the list for all of y'alls help.

Well, I doubt you can get the route table from any socket syscall, as = the routing table are kernel global datas. I launched "netstat -r" with "truss" to know how netstat got theses = values. It seems "netstat" uses some ioctl calls to "/dev/kstat" (the kernel = stats facility)=20 to get this : 10752/1: open("/dev/kstat", O_RDONLY) =3D 3 10752/1: ioctl(3, KSTAT_IOC_CHAIN_ID, 0x00000000) =3D = 3802 10752/1: ioctl(3, KSTAT_IOC_READ, "kstat_headers") =3D = 3802 Reading kstat(3K) man page will give you more informations, but it = seems this is a painfull job. The libkstat library offers some facilities to handle the job (see the manpages=20 for kstat_open(3K), kstat_lookup(3K), etc.).

Well, I doubt you can get the route table from any socket syscall, as the routing table are kernel global datas. I launched "netstat -r" with "truss" to know how netstat got theses values. It seems "netstat" uses some ioctl calls to "/dev/kstat" (the kernel stats facility) to get this : 10752/1: open("/dev/kstat", O_RDONLY) = 3 10752/1: ioctl(3, KSTAT_IOC_CHAIN_ID, 0x00000000) = 3802 10752/1: ioctl(3, KSTAT_IOC_READ, "kstat_headers") = 3802 Reading kstat(3K) man page will give you more informations, but it seems this is a painfull job. The libkstat library offers some facilities to handle the job (see the manpages for kstat_open(3K), kstat_lookup(3K), etc.). I guess it should be easier to call popen("netstat -r", ...), and then parse the output.

It is built around the Sun Engine AXi. It is SCSI based (2 Ultra wide channels!!) instead of creepy IDE like the U10. The other thing I really like is that it is in a PeeCee ATX case so you have choices if you need more space later. That looks like a reasonable price for that machine with big memory.

What you want is an implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) for Windows 2000. Use Google to find one. I'm sure there are a few. Once you find one and set it up on the Windows 2000 "system," all you have to do on the Sun box is: 1) Manually sync times between the machine # ntpdate [ host name of w2k ] 2) Edit ntp.conf so it contains just one line: server [ host name of w2k ] 3) Restart xntpd: # /etc/init.d/xntpd stop # /etc/init.d/xntpd start NB: the script in /etc/init.d may be named ntp, ntpd, or xntpd. There's not a Solaris system near to me right now, so I can't verify this. All of this assumes, of course, that you have the NTP packages installed, whatever they are.

Use Google to find one. I'm sure there are a few. On second glance, it's not clear which systems you want to be the NTP server. If you want w2k to be an ntp client, just reverse the process: get ntp client software for w2k and set up xntpd on Solaris.

One of his sons gave him a PC on Thanksgiving -- a Dell 233 -- but with a Sun Microsystems 19" Color Monitor (Model # CM751).

Besides I love the guy -- he was always there for me when I was a kid!!! Also -- and most critical -- because the system didn't pop up and work when he "pushed the button" -- his frustration level has grown very quickly!! So before, he throws the whole system out the window (14th floor apt. in The Bronx), I need to get this system up and running ASAP. Now -- with that out of the way -- I can get down to business!!! I need to find the drivers for the monitor (Sun Microsystems 19" Color Monitor Model # CM751). I searched the Sun.com site and the sunsolve.com site and cannot locate any drivers. Can anyone point me in the right direction?? Also, as this monitor will be connected to a Dell 233 -- do I need to get any special type of video card (PCI only!) or ccan I use whatever is in the PC now?

It often requires removal of the SIMMs, cleaning the edge of the SIMM, cleaning out the memory slot, reinserting the RAM and making sure that all your SIMMs are level with each other. Just the slightest difference means that the SIMM is not seated all the way down. It often requires enough force that you will fear breaking the SIMM. The next obvious thing, which I'm sure you have done, is to do a boot -r from the OK prompt to reconfigure? For c) and d) solaris password aging can do that.=20 Have a look at the shadow(4) manpage for details. For 2, 3, a, b and e, Solaris (at least 2.6) has no standard tools for password rules (as far as I know). Maybe you could install "Anlpasswd" which offers a replacement for /bin/passwd and /bin/yppasswd. It's written in Perl, and enforces many password security rules = ("crack" dictionnary, etc.). Here follows an announcement for Anlpasswd : ----=20 Announcing "ANLpasswd" (formally perl-passwd2). While other programs check for bad passwords after the fact, it is important to have good passwords at all times, not just after the latest Crack run. To this end we have modified Larry Wall's Perl password program and added; "ypsmarts", so that it does the intelligent thing in an NIS environment, it allows for gecos changes, and also checks a sorted list of all the "bad passwords". The list of bad passwords are ALL the words that Crack will generate, given all the dictionaries that we could get our hands on (107 MB of unique words, so far). The combination of improvements has turned publicly available code into a powerful tool that can aid sites in the maintenance of local security. We have presented this code at SURF 92 and SUG 92. It has also been referenced in _Unix Review_. We have been using it for a year now and haven't had any major problems. I know that a couple other sites are also using it. It currently runs on: Sun, IBM, NeXT, SGI, Intel iPSC860, Alliant, Encore, BBN TC200, Solbourne, Sequent. Also if you enter a reasonable email address to our not-so-anonymous ftp server, we will notify you of any updates. It can be anonymous ftp'd from: info.mcs.anl.gov You'll find the whole package in: /pub/systems/anlpasswd-2.2.tar.Z If you find it useful, please let us know.

Cable loops through four drives HD50--SCSI--SCSI--SCSI--SCSI--HD50. Internal Plugs are standard SCSI 50 pin (molex?) which work on SCSI 'narrow' drives. Seagates that use this pinout all end in N (ST31200N for example). You set the drive ID manually (0-6 with single ended) on each drive you install (see drive manuals/pinouts). You can install one, two, three, or four independent drives (any combination of sizes, just different ID's for each unit). Box doesn't care. Label on back indicates where each is and IIRC, has a blank to write the actual ID you install in each position. The rack inside is supposed to have four 'sleds' or brackets that are just metal brackets that hold the drive up off the bottom plate of each shelf and slide into a key that holds the drive horizontally. You use four screws to mount the sleds on the bottom of the drives. _______________________ | 0 |[ 1 ]| screw->|[__DRIVE__]|[__DRIVE__]|<-screw |_[_SLED__]_|_[_BRKT__]_| |[ 2 ]| 3 | screw->|[__DRIVE__]|[__DRIVE__]|<-screw |_[_SLED__]_|_[_BRKT__]_| The drives are 'fixed' in place by running a screw through the side of the rack into the drive itself. So five screws per drive if you use the brackets. I don't have the brackets. I just use a single screw through the side of the rack into each drive. I suspect that is at some risk, but the brackets are a b**t** to find. And then they are 'spensive. I don't need 'em. Now, what fits? Nearly every 3.5 inch SCSI drives up to 1.6 inches high. I have seen some 'old' single ended IBM 1.6 high SCSI drives that didn't have a screw hole on the side at the right place.

This will prevent this from happening. Also, from SunSolve FAQ 3333: ------------------------------------ Some PC's and Terminal Servers acting as consoles for Solaris systems send out a break signal when they power on or off. This causes the Solaris system to drop down to the OK prompt unintentionally. Pulling out a keyboard from a live system and reconnecting it also causes the system to drop to the OK prompt. How can we prevent this ? Solution Summary Top This can be accomplished in many ways. Some of the recommended methods are discussed below. 1.The file /etc/default/kbd can set a variable called KEYBOARD_ABORT. Uncomment the line containing this variable in this file as shown below: KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable Then run the command "kbd -i" or simply reboot the system.The "kbd -i" command will force the system to reread the /etc/default/kbd file. This will permanently disable all the STOP+A and serial device break signals on the system. You can re-enable the break sequence by commenting out this line in the /etc/default/kbd file and rebooting the system or running the "kbd -i" command again. 2. You can enable/disable breaks with out changing any file entries from the command line as well. The " kbd -a enable" will enable the system to start accepting the break signal and the "kbd -a disable" will disable the system from accepting the break signal. These changes will be temporary and be in effect only till the system reboots. 3. You can also reboot the system after setting the following variable in /etc/system file as shown: set abort_enable=0 This will disable all break signals on the system. Solaris 8 introduced a new feature which gives the system the ability to force a hanging system to halt when required, without allowing random or spurious Breaks to cause an unintentional stop. The new sequence to stop the system is .There must be an interval of more than 0.5 seconds between characters, and the entire string must be entered in less than 5 seconds. This is true only with serial devices acting as consoles and not for systems with keyboards of their own. This feature has been backported to Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7 as well. The patch 105924-10 for Solaris 2.6 and 107589-02 or higher for Solaris 7 is required to enable this feature. To enable the alternate boot sequence, just type "kbd -a alternate" or if this change needs to be permanent, reboot the system after uncommenting the following line in the /etc/default/kbd file : KEYBOARD_ABORT=alternate Note: a) Do not uncomment the KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable line while doing this. b) Do not set abort_enable=0 in /etc/system while doing this. -----Original Message----- From: Dairy Wall Limey [mailto:william+sun at hq.newdream.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 10:17 AM To: sunhelp at sunhelp.org Subject: [SunHELP] firmware question is there a way to make sun machines not go to the 'ok' prompt when the keyboard / mouse is removed? we don't usually use a serial console on the sun machines in our server room, but it's kind of a pain to leave keyboards plugged into all of them. do i have to reboot remotely with no keyboard plugged in, or is there an easier way? it would be nice if there was a way to override this. the machines in question are mostly ultra 5s (and a few sparcstations). i tried doing a bit of searching on this subject, although it's possible i'm searching for the wrong thing, so let me know if there's a faq that this information is included in. w _______________________________________________ SunHELP maillist - SunHELP at sunhelp.org http://www.sunhelp.org/mailman/listinfo/sunhelp From sunhelp at sunhelp.org Wed Nov 28 10:23:04 2001 From: sunhelp at sunhelp.org (Nicholas Dronen) Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 09:23:04 -0700 Subject: [SunHELP] firmware question In-Reply-To: <20011128081720.C30563@hq.newdream.net>; from william+sun@hq.newdream.net on Wed, Nov 28, 2001 at 08:17:20AM -0800 References: <20011128081720.C30563@hq.newdream.net> Message-ID: <20011128092304.A9925@frii.com> On Wed, Nov 28, 2001 at 08:17:20AM -0800, Dairy Wall Limey wrote: > is there a way to make sun machines not go to the 'ok' prompt when the > keyboard / mouse is removed? we don't usually use a serial console on > the sun machines in our server room, but it's kind of a pain to leave > keyboards plugged into all of them. do i have to reboot remotely with > no keyboard plugged in, or is there an easier way? it would be nice if > there was a way to override this. the machines in question are mostly > ultra 5s (and a few sparcstations). > > i tried doing a bit of searching on this subject, although it's possible > i'm searching for the wrong thing, so let me know if there's a faq that > this information is included in. See /etc/default/kbd. I couldn't be surprised if this were in the comp.unix.solaris or comp.sys.sun.admin FAQ, but it's been a while since I've checked.

You'll probably have to roll your own. AIX is sufficiently different than Solaris, especially when it comes to things like starting and stopping daemons started from init (see: srcmstr & co.), that you'll be hard pressed to make a machine-hardening script written for Solaris to run on AIX without a few errors on AIX. (FYI: the AIX equivalent of JumpStart is Network Installation Manager (NIM)). Since you're new to AIX, I suggest adding comp.unix.aix to your .newsrc and adding bookmarks to: http://www.bull.de/pub/ http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/aixpdslib.html Regards, Nicholas Dronen From sunhelp at sunhelp.org Thu Nov 29 13:55:07 2001 From: sunhelp at sunhelp.org (Alex Avriette) Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 14:55:07 -0500 Subject: [SunHELP] problem with pageouts when ram is free Message-ID: <32BAF2A2B169D411A081009027464529025DB3B5@ATD-NT5> This is solaris 5.8.

Actually, it doesn't come as a surprise to me. Production systems are production systems. However, that doesn't mean that the vmstat output you posted is useful for answering your original question. Yes, it shows a snapshot of machine activity, but when you ran vmstat the machine wasn't behaving as it was when you noticed the pageouts, so -- again -- it's not very useful. If the system really does something it's not supposed to do, I'd rather see it before I believe it. If you can reproduce the conditions which you mention in your initial email, I'd love to see vmstat 5 output.

But if you are running a database you will probably want to make sure that the database is in a down or offiline state before backups. It is never good to backup a live database while it is being used, and it is better stillto get backup software that is savvy to your particular database and can automatically handle a "live" backup if that is a major goal. This is all IMHO.

We do a ufsdump on volumes while they are mounted - but at 3 a.m. when no one is using the system. I too, when I arrrived (my first 'real' unix admin job) asked why we didn't unmount the volumes like the book said to do, and my manager had a good technical reply as to *why* it was okay. I DO recall that, years ago when I was backup admin on an AIX system hosting a 'mission critical' database, we forcibly logged all users OUT, then ran the backup, and let everyone back in when the backup script was finished.

There are a couple problem with using the 3ware cards in this situation, however: 1) no Solaris drivers 2) they're PCI cards. Bill wants to put them in a Ultra 2. If it was a PCI Sun running Linux (or maybe NetBSD/OpenBSD, I don't know how well they support 3ware cards) and had a drive for booting the OS (3ware cards can't boot anything but a PC), he might be in business. -- Phil From sunhelp at sunhelp.org Fri Nov 30 15:36:28 2001 From: sunhelp at sunhelp.org (bran tregare) Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 13:36:28 -0800 Subject: [SunHELP] IDE RAID?

External IDE-RAID devices (that you hook into a SCSI card) are out there, but I'm not seeing anything at this moment. Most systems are more similar to a NetApp than anything else.
