Re: [osol-discuss] // napp-it WebUI + NAS-appliance Online-Installer with OpenIndiana support
napp-it needs superuser privilege to manage system settings. br up to version 0.324 it is done via pfexec and webuser-account assigned to Primary Adiministrator profile. brbr To do it the same way on all platforms and because i had problems get all running on OpenIndiana (example logins command) br i use now sudo instead with the following settings: brbr /etc/sudoer br webservd ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: ALL brbr and in /etc/user_attr br webservdtype=role to disallow remote login brbr i have no problems yet with these settings are there any security concerns with this setting beside the one having superuser privilege remotely. brbr gea -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

I've been using ssh to login to the problem machine up until now... and now no ssh comes up when I boot it. I know I will have to rerig things and connect mouse, keyboard, monitor direct to the problem machine, but once that is done is there some sort of semi-standard way of booting to an emergency set of tools to try to see what the problem is? I won't have a lot of time, before the machine shuts down. Maybe 1/2 hr or so. I'm kind of having a brain freeze about this: So what are the standard tests or cmds to run to collect enough data to try to make a determination of what the problem is?

Re: [osol-discuss] Oracle to soon hike MySQL pricing!
Yeah it was my hope back in those days that Sun would buy out PostgreSQL instead of MySQL.

Re: [osol-discuss] Well supported Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapters on OSOL/OIND
Can someone having access to the aforementioned adapters and/or chipsets please confirm whether they work well with the available OSOL/OIND drivers and whether they are still plagued with any disconnect/hang issues several users have been reporting in these forums? I think these are pretty standard controllers integrated on many server boards and many users facing the problem of unsupported network adapter chipsets absolutely need to know what kind of hardware they may rely on being well supported in OpenSolaris - without having to first buy and test it out themselves! One of the biggest barriers to widespread OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana adoption is IMHO the lack of information about well supported hardware and quality of the few available drivers. Even more frustrating than finding out that lots of common hardware is either totally unsupported or having some major issues, is the tremendous difficulty of getting reliable, up to date information and general guidance on what hardware to obtain for a good OpenSolaris experience! E.g. the thread I have started on 27.08.2010, Phenom II X6 1090T, AMD 890FX / SB850, Any Driver Development Efforts? : http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=133393tstart=60 although drawing some significant attention (1288 + 349 views by now) by targeting important issues about mainstream hardware compatibility, absolutely failed to catch the attention of anyone competent to make a statement about any of the reported driver issues. The few fast replys I have received, although helpful and encouraging, were way too general and thus neither able to ascertain specific compatibility nor point out several compatibility issues I have been able to get aware of only by obtaining the hardware and testing it out myself. Nevertheless, even in the face of the compatibility risks and lack of reliable specific information which tend to inevitably discourage most potential users, I have decided to give it a try and report the findings to improve the situation and contribute them to the HCL. Although submitting a detailed report to the OpenSolaris HCL over a month ago, it is still not available! = IS THE HCL DEAD?! Am I missing something here? Was my approach not adequate enough or is there currently a lack of general interest in the remaining community to help users solve these pretty fundamental hardware compatibility questions and provide them with some basic guidance so they do not have to be going through hoops to merely be able to choose some decent NIC with stable drivers? What should a user do to obtain hardware compatibility and driver quality information related to some specific hardware of interest without having to dig through device driver code or buying a Oracle support contract?
