[osol-discuss] How to debug a weird nis+ issue?
Hi everyone I have a host installed with NIS+ client. There is a user named jsn in NIS server. His login shell is /bin/true. So he can not log on my host by default. Now I wanna grant his access so I added following line into /etc/passwd. +jsn::/bin/tcsh However, sometimes he is still unable to log on my host. To debug, I wrote a test binary using getpwnam to grab the user info and then check pw-pw_shell. To my surprise, the value for pw_shell is rather unstable. Sometimes it is /bin/tcsh (login is ok), sometimes it is /bin/true (login fails). How can I dig deeper on this weird issue? This issue almost drives me crazy. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] GNU libc on OpenSolaris
Hi David, Great work! Yes, such port makes sense and solves some of the issues (mostly GNU libc portability) but unfortunately creates new issues, which I'm sure, could be worked out and soon we should have more or less working first ISO available with support for this new exciting architecture! This is absolutely great development, and here is what I think it means for Nexenta Community: 1) We now have two architectures on-going: - NexentaCore Sun/OpenSolaris - NexentaCore GNU/kOpenSolaris 2) We should expect more developers coming on board from Debian/Ubuntu/Linux land and polish our APT repository even more 3) Nexenta OpenSolaris-oriented packaging will improve and many of Nexenta patches will be backported back to upstream - Ubuntu and Debian 4) Debian acceptance of these two architectures - might happen real soon. On Fri, 2008-09-19 at 00:18 -0400, David Bartley wrote: Hello, I've been working on porting GNU libc (glibc) to OpenSolaris (see [0] for source code and other downloads). I've also ported NPTL (the glibc thread library), using the corresponding OpenSolaris syscalls. I haven't benchmarked much, but I suspect speed should be comparable to native OpenSolaris. At this point I have a working chroot with a number of packages installed and working, and I hope to have a zone booting soon. Xorg, GNOME, and gdb all work. I also have a number of Solaris binaries working, including truss, dladm, zfs, and zpool. (I haven't tried, but it should be fairly straightforward to get dtrace working.) In order to get these working, I implemented additional OpenSolaris extensions (mostly trivial syscall wrappers). Examples are the functions defined in ucred.h, priv.h, and sys/pset.h. Since nexenta is trying to be OpenSolaris with the GNU userland, it makes sense to use glibc. This would also solve the legal problem that Debian had with linking Sun's libc with dpkg [1]. glibc is licensed under LGPL with a linking exception, so linking CDDL code against the glibc is also legal. In keeping with past glibc ports (e.g. kFreeBSD, kNetBSD), I've used the target string i486-kopensolaris-gnu (the 64-bit target would be x86_64-kopensolaris-gnu). If you want to test this out in a chroot, there's a bunch of pre-built i386 binaries available [2] that can be just untarred into a directory. You'll also need to mount /proc, /dev, and /devices in the chroot via lofs (this won't be needed if done in a zone). Many applications will require OpenSolaris headers to build, which can just be copied from an OpenSolaris/Nexenta box (just don't overwrite any headers installed by glibc). -- David [0] http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~dtbartle/opensolaris/ [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/04/msg00069.html [2] http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~mspang/opensolaris/builds/ ___ gnusol-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/gnusol-devel ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
