really? Can you elaborate? The thing is, I'm in the process of compiling and updated winbind from latest Samba sources (and documenting that process) in order to test with that if the problems with supplementary groups go away and if it works with Solaris CIFS. After I'd installed winbind and had that up and running, doing a svcadm start smb just put it straight into maintenance mode. I didn't do much investigation beyond that as it wasn't critical at the time, but I assumed there was some kind of conflict in terms of ports. Have you had any luck getting it working?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] stty source code
Andrew,
There are no serial ports and hence no /dev/term/b on this system. In fact if
the USB-RS-232 adapter is not plugged in, there is no /dev/term or /dev/cua
either. Which may explain some of the weirdness when I was setting up the port
as I don't think I had plugged in the Keyspan adapter when I started
configuring it. /dev/{term,cua}/0 don't get created until you plug in the
adapter and disappear when you unplug it.
ttymon holds /dev/term/0, so even root or uucp cannot open /dev/term/0. stty
just hangs until interrupted. Everything I've read suggests that it is not
possible to have a port be outbound only and that is must be bidirectional.
However, I've not attempted to test that. I've got enough annoyance as it is.
However, I can see lots of opportunity for trouble w/ ttymon running on a port
that goes away when the USB-serial adapter is unplugged.
I can open /dev/cua/0 w/ stty, but do not seem to be able to make any changes.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] isc-dhcp client
Jon, Oracle is deprecating the Sun dhcp server and replacing it with ISC based upon what I've been reading. It's one of the reasons that Oracle pushed changes to the ISC source. Regardless, I have no reason to replace the server since it has everything I need in a dhcp server. Others don't agree. That said, the Oracle client is missing IPV6 prefix delegation which is a hole for me and will become for more people that have ISPs that use this feature to assign blocks of ipv6 IPs. Without this, you will only get a single IP address from these ISPs. Since ipv6 does not support NAT there is no alternative if you want to use OpenIndiana as a firewall/router. There are firewall/router boxes that do perform this function. DD-WRT and similar do have an implementation but it is very buggy. I currently get around this by using an ipv6 over ipv4 tunnel to HE, but this not a good final solution.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] isc-dhcp client
Au contraire mon frere. :) I packaged the server up and I'm waiting for the thumbs up to push it into the main branch. I was wondering if I should include the server. As for the client on Solaris, my interpretation of the text tells me that it may work but since it exists on Solaris they don't include the client. This is why I asked if anyone had attempted it or knew why it wouldn't work. I'd have to dig into the dhcp client code to see what would it take to make it compatible. I might be enticed to do this if others have a similar need. The alternative is to implement prefix delegation in the existing client which I've already been told would be difficult.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] stty source code
The stty changes will be lost when the last stream closes and the port
settings are reset, which is probably the very instant that the stty
command which makes the changes exits in your example. So this will only
work if something else is holding the port open. That's why I said try
it when tip is running.
Alternatively, just to check you can change the parameter, use some
other command in another window to keep it open, such as
sleep 1 /dev/cua/0

among them ... In /etc/grub.d there is a the file 40_custom ... Suppose
that you installed OpenIndiana on the 3rd primary partition of the first
disk ... You edit this file and you add this entry
menuentry OpenIndiana {
set root=(hd0,3)

Later you run that command: sudo update-grub
In the end you restart your laptop and everything has to be right

Performance is terrible over the network as compared to the previous OpenSolaris installation. Hardware is identical with the exception of a second SATA controller (a second identical Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8) and additional hard drives. Perhaps related, the USB mouse is virtually none-operational. It will only update the location of the mouse for about 0.5s out of every 10s. This has not been an issue, as I usually connect remotely. But still an indication that all is not well. Transfers on the machine, from drive to drive appears about the same as when running under OpenIndiana - but across the networks it's very slow. Moving a large file from my windows 7 machine across the GbE lan - transfers at ~11.5MB/s as reported by windows copy. Using zpool iostat, the write bandwidth is reported as high as 20M. Now if I run zpool iostat continuously (display every 3 seconds), copy performance increases - moving into the 16 to 17 MB/s range as reported by windows. Copying from one storage pool to another, zpool iostat will report write bandwidths of 26M. My pool configuration is detailed below. Other's slow performance had been pegged to flow control enabled on the Ethernet port - this was disabled. It did make a difference, but not that dramatic.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] VERY slow server performance

Wanting to upgrade my server based on OpenSolaris and ZFS to 3TB drives, I upgraded the OS to OpenIndiana 151a. Performance is terrible over the network as compared to the previous OpenSolaris installation. Hardware is identical with the exception of a second SATA controller (a second identical Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8) and additional hard drives. Perhaps related, the USB mouse is virtually none-operational. It will only update the location of the mouse for about 0.5s out of every 10s. This has not been an issue, as I usually connect remotely. But still an indication that all is not well. Transfers on the machine, from drive to drive appears about the same as when running under OpenIndiana - but across the networks it's very slow. Moving a large file from my windows 7 machine across the GbE lan - transfers at ~11.5MB/s as reported by windows copy. Using zpool iostat, the write bandwidth is reported as high as 20M. Now if I run zpool iostat continuously (display every 3 seconds), copy performance increases - moving into the 16 to 17 MB/s range as reported by windows. Copying from one storage pool to another, zpool iostat will report write bandwidths of 26M. My pool configuration is detailed below. Other's slow performance had been pegged to flow control enabled on the Ethernet port - this was disabled. It did make a difference, but not that dramatic.

No effect. Everything is still lower case. Don't forget opost. And don't forget that the output options you're changing on /dev/cua/0 will reflect how that port processes output text going *TO* that serial port, and not the data you see coming back. If your concern is (as it was before) with the characters coming from that remote system and being displayed on your xterm, then here are the players involved: - remote system transmits some characters - the /dev/cua/0 tty receives them and processes according to the current input settings on that device - tip reads some data from the tty and writes it to stdout - tip's stdout is the slave side of the pty connected to xterm (this is your session tty) - the pty's output is processed by the output settings on that pty - xterm reads the master side of the pty and decides (based on configuration) how to render those characters for the display - xterm writes the characters to the display As you can see, doing stty on /dev/cua/0 may or may not do what you desire to do here. More likely, I'd expect that cranking up tip and then doing stty on the pty that tip is using will produce the sorts of results you want. But it's still the Wrong Way To Solve The Problem because it's based on a fairly fundamental set of misunderstandings. By far, I believe the best way to solve the problems you're having here are to either (a) use something with more sophisticated terminal emulation processing than just 'tip', which inherently assumes that you've configured the remote terminal configuration to be compatible with the local terminal emulator (which you have not done), or (b) reconfigure xterm and/or the remote system such that they have compatible terminal emulation modes. At this point, I think I need to make a non-setuid copy of tip and run tip under truss from a shell which is setuid to uucp. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try that though as other things will take up the rest of the day. If you run truss as user 'uucp' or as 'root', you shouldn't have that problem. Simple enough to try if all you're doing is debugging. No need to make a copy. I'm beginning to suspect that there's something in the USB serial driver which is being more helpful than it should. So another thing is to spin up OI on a box w/ a real serial port and see how it behaves. I still think you're really barking up the wrong tree here, and it makes the problem far harder to solve. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W carls...@workingcode.com ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Keep in mind that the function of `tip' is to emulate an ASCII terminal. To do that, it places the terminal in raw mode, disabling most of the tty settings. When you type a line of text followed by [Enter], it sends the text followed by CR (0x0d). The device at the other end of the serial line should echo each of those characters, including the CR. If that device is another Unix system, its tty will be in cooked mode. That means that it will send a LF (0x0a) after the CR. The cursor on your terminal should first return to the left, and then drop down one line. A firmware device should be doing the same thing. -- -Gary Mills--refurb--Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] stty source code
never use USB- Serial when you're testing something. There is a huge
difference between products, and the bad products behave very unpredictable.
Don't forget that the voltage of USB is 5V MAXIMUM but can be much lower
depending on the hardware, legacy serialports need a good 5V for a logical
1.
So communication can be disrupted by voltagedrops because the logical 1's
are not transmitted at the right voltage.

Date: Thursday, September 6, 2012, 9:34 AM The stty changes will be
lost when the last stream closes and the port settings are reset,
which is probably the very instant that the stty command which makes
the changes exits in your example. So this will only work if something
else is holding the port open. That's why I said try it when tip is
running.
Alternatively, just to check you can change the parameter, use some
other command in another window to keep it open, such as sleep 1

Reginald Beardsley wrote:
Andrew,
There are no serial ports and hence no /dev/term/b on
this system. In fact if the USB-RS-232 adapter is not plugged in,
there is no /dev/term or /dev/cua either.
Which may explain some of the weirdness when I was setting up the port
as I don't think I had plugged in the Keyspan adapter when I started
configuring it. /dev/{term,cua}/0 don't get created until you plug in
the adapter and disappear when you unplug it.
ttymon holds /dev/term/0, so even root or uucp cannot
open /dev/term/0. stty just hangs until interrupted. Everything I've
read suggests that it is not possible to have a port be outbound only
and that is must be bidirectional. However, I've not attempted to
test that. I've got enough annoyance as it is.
However, I can see lots of opportunity for trouble w/ ttymon running
on a port that goes away when the USB-serial adapter is unplugged.
I can open /dev/cua/0 w/ stty, but do not seem to be
able to make any changes.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Illumos as a NAS
Having winbind and Solaris CIFS joined to AD at the same time can not be done by default, as both will try to associate the computer account in AD with their own authentication system and change the machine password.

I just installed openindiana on my laptopo in dual boot with linux.
But i have a problem with grub of openindiana. I try to load the linux
kernel using grub command line.
The boot partition is ext2 fs.
When i enter the command root(hd0, 0) it recognize the partition as
ext2fs.
The problem is with command kernel, when i insert the kernel line i
always
have a file not found error. And if i try to enter the kernel name using
tab completion the folder is correctly recognized, but when it try to
look
for kernel name, it replace all characters with weird characters.
Any idea?
Is this a bug?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] stty source code
The MCU is 3.3V, so it requires a level shifter to match the 5V coming from the USB-serial adapter to the MCU. The level shifter and Keyspan work just fine, though the USB driver may not be playing nice. The real issue is the pathologically complex handling of serial lines in Solaris and the ambiguous documentation. I am not convinced that anyone, myself included, knows which direction is which. I know which direction is in and out for communication w/ the local host, but that is all I'm sure of. Coupled w/ the fact that no one seems to have done much w/ a serial port connection in many years makes it more difficult. I last used tip 14 years ago to connect to my ISDN router. It took only a couple of minutes to setup. The first forth MCU also took a couple of minutes to setup. The second beat me senseless for 6 hours. In light of the long history of misery and suffering by system admins at the hands of serial port connections, this should not be a big surprise. When I actually did a lot of RS-232 work I was running VMS 4.x on a MicroVAX connecting to a variety of terminals and an 11/780 w/ an FPS-120B attached. That was a long time ago when Sun was a young upstart I'd not even heard of. I *may* build up OI from source so I can run under the debugger and resolve the issue. But because I've modified the remote host to emit NL-CR, it's really not important to me other than it would be nice to have a reasonably behaved facility for connecting over a serial line to a remote host. If I really get in a jam, I can run Linux. I just prefer not to if I can avoid it. If I elect to work on the OI/Illumos serial port discipline, it will be for aesthetic rather than practical reasons.
