oving /usr/bin/passwd from the labeled zones is that it operates on the local end, instead of the global zone shadow file, so any changes get overmounted or discarded or something next zone reboot.

The normal design is that the local zones contact the global zone, which does the work after judging label dominance and privs etc. This is done via nscd aka /services/name-service-cache. The local zones don't contact the ldap server directly. If the local zones are not getting whatever informa

Some networking programs and/or code require INADDR_ANY, which is #defined to 0.0.0.0, to be usable (it is not a real address, so it is not insecure in itself) but tnrhdb uses 0.0.0.0 as 4 wildcards, so it is insecure. So if you can have EXACTLY 0.0.0.0 be admin_low but NOT have it mean *.*.*.* t
