[osol-discuss] Re: Re: Installing packages on the wrong arch (i386 v
I think it would be nice if there were a file in which packages could register the paths for their normal user (and administrative user) binaries, along with a description of the package or application. That would allow a script to be created that would offer various paths (traditional, xpg4, xpg6, etc) in the proper order as a starting point, with other directories usually coming after. Although if one were willing to run a command duplicate checker as part of adding entries to the file, it could perhaps advise of other alternative environments that one might want to put ahead of a more generic path in some cases. It could then append the path setting chosen by the user (with the program's advice) to their .profile or .login file as appropriate (with some either hardcoded or configurable knowledge of which shells use what configuration files). Something like that, along with simply editing the defaults in /etc/skel, or setting suitable values in /etc/profile or /etc/.login, could provide the combination of initial defaults with an easy way for the user to customize their command set without having too much of a learning curve for your average clueless f^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H, er, person.

To perhaps start a discussion on this, the two main approaches I've seen (though I'm sure there's others) is putting a default path value in /etc/PATH, or having some sort of global rc directory that applications can place scripts in that get sourced when the shell is invoked ( i.e. /etc/profile.d if I recall correctly). The problem with /etc/PATH is that it quickly gets very large and ugly. It is not uncommon to see /etc/PATH stretch 10-15 lines (or more), just to add in all the /opt/packagename/bin directories. With a profile.d style setup, you have an issue of a malformed script could cause lots of heartache, as well as potential performance issues if there are lots of scripts that have to be run every time. Also, would we need to care about duplicate entries in path, order, etc? ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Re: SPAM-Attack via Jive (AGAIN) ... / was: [Fwd:
I still think feeding the lists to a dedicated news server could be the cleanest approach to providing a way to read the messages by list in a threaded manner. Either the groups could be read-only, or (my preference, since I'd rather not use an email interface for something like this) they could be auto-moderated (must be able to be associated with a registered email address), or else the server could require authentication (with one's os.o account and password, I suppose). That would IMO be a lot cleaner, and more scalable (even a wimpy news server can probably handle more messages per day than the opensolaris.org lists are ever likely to see). And with reasonably fast clients that can be configured to cache headers (I like knews, myself), it can be much better performing for people with relatively slow network access (which could be common with worldwide participation). Or if enough folks can't resist the temptation to post HTML, Thunderbird or Mozilla would probably be ok too.

IMO the current concept is half-broken anyway since they don't get emails for the replies anyway. IMO people should use the list via normal email clients and not via the Jive add-on. To be honestly IKO the whole Jive software sucks whole galaxies - for example it breaks (by messing up the References:/In-Reply-To: headers) the threading in my email client (and normal Mozilla) which causes threads split up into tiny chunks that it has become difficult to follow the replies. At least I no longer read opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org on regular basis because there are too many threads broken into pieces by people posting via Jive, making it difficult to follow long discussions with many sub-topics. (And that is not the only problem with Jive - it messes up the email encoding, doesn't handle attachments properly and many other "little" details are broken etc. etc.).

I believe luactivate simply changes an NVRAM entry or two to set the root disk, and then flags the appropriate BEs as active/inactive. Namely the "boot-device" property. So, say you have s9 installed on c0t0d0s0 and s11 installed on c0t0d0s4, you could "boot disk:a" to get s9 or "boot disk:e" to get s11. Setting "boot-device" to either of those will set your default. I'm not terribly experienced with OBP so I hope someone will correct my if any of that is wrong.. Especially I'm not sure of the nomenclature for booting off a second disk, maybe "boot disk1:a"? -- Eric Enright ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Since I downloaded Solaris 9 from Sun's website and am not paying for support, the only support available to me is "community support" i.e. mailing lists and web forums. Since OpenSolaris.org appears to have the highest traffic forums geared towards Solaris users, I posted here. If you know of a better online forum, please let me know and I'll post there instead. ;-) Cheers Andrew.

How can I find out which Solaris package delivered which file?

[osol-discuss] NFS mounting problem from Solaris 10 U2 to Solaris 9, 8 and RedHat WS3
Hi Guys, A primer... I was going to use zfs but have decided against it for now for various reasons (not the least of which is we already invested $$$ in intelligent hardware). So I destroyed all of my zfs setup and recreated file systems using UFS (even going so far as destroying the LUNs on the hardware RAID system and recreating them as this is a new system)... So now I am just trying to use the good 'ole simple shares (nfs server service is running) and I am getting permission denied from Solaris 9 and 8 hosts and "no such file or directory" from RedHat. I have determined that I can mount on the older Solaris system using the "-o public" option like so: mount -F nfs -o public : and WebNFS mounts also work (ie. mount nfs://...). But this will not work to Linux as "public" is a non-existent option. I can mount to other Solaris 10 systems without any problem or special options. Oh, and automounts don't work either to Solaris 9, 8 and WS3. I have tried changing server and client max version to 3 and that seems to have no effect. I am not using any weird acl either. showmount from any client sees the share to everyone. Anyone have any suggestions or seen this issue before?

Re: [osol-discuss] Re: Re: Installing packages on the wrong arch (i386 v
UNIX admin wrote: On a personal workstation, you would expect pkgadd stall things in (say) /usr/bin where you can use them directly in your PATH. This will work for Sun and Sun packages, but will actually break for any third party packages, for example when trying to install them in a sparse zone. Besides, the System V spec mandates that no 3rd party should ever write to the /usr, the UNIX system resources directory. That directory is for the vendor and vendor alone to use, and must be off limits to everyone else, PATH convenience or no. PATH issues can be solved in other ways, whereas using /usr is just about one of the biggest faux-pas a 3rd party can make in a UNIX environment. One of the things I'd like to suggest is that we consider means for applications to appear in the default path more easily than requiring users to edit their .*rc files. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/barts ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
