Re: [osol-discuss] How to set NFS permissions
To many questions... Authentication - nothing. I struggled to find any information of how NFS access control works. For some reason the NFS shares are accessible from the Macs but not from the Windows PC. I very much suspect its something to do with permissions on the file. I have no LDAP, AD or anything. For SMB I would usually have to set up user and passwords and grant access to shares, printers etc.. For NFS I could not figure out how to one does the same thing but as I mentioned above it seems to be accessible from the Macs. I doubt it is secure seeing that I have not actually configured any specific user access which is not ideal. Given its only a home network its not a big deal but it would be great if someone could explain how to go about granting permissions to allow users controlled access to the NFS shares. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] How to set NFS permissions
Thanks, I'll try the permissions thing first and then just share via SMB as well. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] How to set NFS permissions
The NFS share is already set up and works fine from my Macbook, just not from the Windows PC. But the the Macbook is running UNIX and the user ID is the same as the user id on the opensolaris server. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] How to set NFS permissions
Thanks, yes I have the Windows NFSClient installed and the share gets mounted correctly. Just unable to access the files on the share - presumably because some permissions need to be set on the server side. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] How to set NFS permissions
Hi, I have a ZFS share but am unable to access the share from a Windows PC. The windows PC mounts the share but indicates No Access. I can't find any useful information on how to grant access to an NFS share. Any ideas on how to give a user on a WIndows PC access to the NFS share. They don't have a login on the OpenSolaris NFS server. Any suggestions on whether its perhaps better to share using SMB as this seems to have better facilities for granting users access. Thanks -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Shutdown messages
That could be it. I have created a zfs storage pool and its possible the shutdown issue started after this. Any idea if there is a bug against this issue ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Shutdown messages
Basically exactly the same thing. I get a white screen and then this message: Mar 16 23:08:27 osshsrvr syslogd: going down on signal 15 If I then press the power button quickly I get this message: NOTICE: Power Button pressed 3 times, cancelling all requests -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Shutdown messages
Thanks, thats more or less what I was used to when shutting down. My system never gets to the "syncing filesystems" message even if I leave to for a long time. And then if I press the power button quickly I get a message on the screen along the lines of "Power Button pressed twice command cancelled" which seems to indicate the system is still wide awake !! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] Shutdown messages
I have installed 2008.11 live CD and it is running fine for the most part except when I shut down. I am used to getting a bunch of shutdown messages, the last of which tells me its OK to power off the system (or something like that). I think the server even used to power down automatically. Since installation 2008.11 I no longer seem to get the correct shutdown messages and the server does not shut down. Can anyone tell me what the correct behaviour I should expect to see is when using the Shutdown menu option from the Gnome desktop ?

[osol-discuss] Re: snv_59 not installable at all:
I am trying to install under Parallels Worstation on a MacBook(Intel) and the install works fine but when I log on it dies after a minute or so. Initially I thought it was the Gnome environment so I used CDE and got a bit further but it dies too - the system basically just freezes. Seems logging in to a console session work fine so maybe its something to do with the graphics ??

[osol-discuss] Re: OpenSolaris & Parallels Workstation
Another update - I have tried the latest RC release (today or yesterday) and still the same problem. Strangely earlier today I tried rebooting and then messed around with the process priority and cpu affinity and suddenly the opensolaris vm booted and ran fine. Weird - unfortunately I have not been able to get it to boot again. Next I will try with another PC to see if maybe its my laptop that the problem.

[osol-discuss] Re: OpenSolaris & Parallels Workstation
Oops... I just hit a problem with my solaris vm. It now hangs just after displaying the OS boot. Just before it normally shows the hostname: . Seems the other linux vm's are still ok but I have not been able to install solaris again. Can no longer boot the dvd iso either, it hangs at the same place !!! I suspect it something else thats caused a problem. I did install qemu and the kqemu accelerator which I have now uninstalled. Still things are not working. I have logged a problem with Parallels so we will see what they say. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

An update on the networking. Duh !! I was not connected to a dhcp server but to a adsl modem which is why the bridged networking was erratic.

[osol-discuss] OpenSolaris & Parallels Workstation
After struggling myself on a Macbook Pro and finally giving up and in the (vain) hope that this will help someone else get OpenSolaris running under Parallels workstation I post the following explanation for how I managed to succesfully get the Nevada Build 47 running. Before I do that let me congratulate firstly, the Parallels team on a great product. I have been using VMWare server but it seems very slow in comparison to Parallels. I can only assume Parallels is doing something fundamentally different because Solaris seems to run at native speeds. No jerky mouse, Open Office opens and switches between documents virtually instantaneously. Pretty impressive. Ok I am running on an ASUS A8Ja with 1GB RAM, which has a 1.6GHz Core Duo processor and an ATI Radeon X1600. Secondly the OpenSolaris team, build 47 seems to very slick and fast, awesome, pity I can run Solaris as the host! Soon I am sure. I have been following the builds closely since b30 something and b47 is the first time I have found things to be as solid as the previous JDS release and a lot faster. But maybe its Parallels that makes things seem so much quicker and neater and just plain nice. Open Office 2.0.3 is solid, once you have figured out how to install it and fix the faulty icons - someone please fix the install packages so they refer to the correct icon names (add some dots guys !!). StarOffice seems dated by comparison, bin it guys and replace it with Open Office 2.0.3 the default. I have some very big documents that Word just can't seem to handle. So just fix two things for me, 1) OpenSolaris on the laptop native with the ability to suspend and hibernate, and 2) Parallels Workstation of Solaris (host) so I can run MS Office... Solid stuff guys - keep it up. OK here is the installation procedure I used... 1) Install Parallels Workstation beta 2.2 2) Create an iso image for the nevada b47 on a harddrive somewhere. 3) Create a VM using Solaris 10 and set the CD to the nevada iso image. 4) Boot the VM and press 'e' at the GRUB boot menu. Press 'e' to edit the kernel command so it looks like this kernel ... -B install_media=cdrom,atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0 5) Press enter and then b to boot. Follow the normal installation procedure. I used the text mode install, option 4. 6) When the system reboots after installation you must modify the kernel command again. At the GRUB boot menu enter 'e' and 'e' again and the add the following to the end of the line -B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0 7) Press enter and 'b' to boot. Booting should be fine now. The networking will no work until you have installed the network driver (happens later). 8) Once you have logged in as root edit the /etc/boot/menu.lst and add '-B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0' to the kernel boot command for the default and safemode boot menu options. This way you don't have to keep adding this command. So now things should boot fine and if your system is anything like mine the screen resolution will be way too big so you'll want to fix that. Here is what I did: 1) Run kdmconfig from a terminal session. Select the xorg option. I had to use ESC 2 instead of F2. 2) Reboot the system by typing 'halt' or 'reboot' in a terminal session. 3) Now I ran the /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig command and selected a PS2 mouse, a 102(intl) keyboard and a vesa (option 0) display adapter. I also selected the 1280x1024 60Hz screen option. Can't recall the other detail. Enter 'y' to save as /etc/X11/xorg.conf. 4) After rebooting I ran the command 'gtf 1280 800' in a terminal session and captured the text output which I then pasted into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file at the end of the 'Monitor' section. My laptop has a screen resolution of 1280x800. 5) I then modified further down the xorg.cong file and added "1280x800" as the first entry for each display option. The line has other resolutions e.g. "1024x768" 800x600" "640x480" and this one gets added to the beginning of these entries. e.g. "1280x800" "1024x768" 800x600" "640x480" 6) I now disabled the dtlogin and enabled gdm as the login manager. Enter the following commands, preferably from a remote terminal or real quick... /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d svcadm enable -s gdm pkill dtlogin gdm-restart 7) Now you should have the right screen resolution. 8) Finally install the network driver by setting the VM's CD to the Parallels tools iso file located in the C:/Program Files/ install directory. Run the network.sh script. I then had to run sys-unconfig to sort out the network confusion. I have also only tested networking using the hostonly-network option and this seems to be fine. I can see the Windows XP host and access shared directories. Cheers... This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
