I'm sponsoring this fast track case on behalf of Mayuresh Nirhali. The timer is set for 25th Nov.
This case was originally submitted on the 14th Oct. as LSARC/2008/632, but during review some SMF & PAM issues were raised and it was suggested that PSARC would be a better committee to address these issues. Specifically: [1] The way dante server is implemented, it does not confirm to the recommended practice in Solaris of using the privilege mechanism. The server implementation depends on the privileged and notprivileged users configured, instead of adding and releasing privileges to the users. Does the ARC approve of such implementation to be integrated into Solaris? [2] Dante server uses Solaris PAM for authentication which requires the privileged user to be 'root'. Hence, the privileged user (i.e. root) will have all the privileges even when not all of them are required. This is not the current recommended practice, but is this acceptable at all? -- Jim Gates Sun Microsystems Nashua, NH, USA http://sun.com/postgresql -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
