Can anyone tell me how to make a user account in this case "Oracle" a su-only account and accessible with a password only from the console. I am running Solaris 8.
Any help would be great! ~robert -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Christo Pretorius Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 11:06 AM To: 'Solaris-Users mailing list' Subject: RE: [Solaris-Users] Web browser in Sol 10 beta 8 If it's that "easy", you're out of a job ...

Amazing that they didn't put it in the menu. Looks like the Java Desktop switch was done precipitously. The Solaris Management Console doesn't appear to be in any of the menus and many of the 'regular' apps don't either - makes it VERY difficult for desktop users or Solaris newbies to get around. I am very familiar with Linux, with Solaris, not so much. I'm sure I'll eventually get it figured out, but it's quite different: sh instead of bash (I love vi, sh is for masochists - no flames please) no /root - so where does root get it's path on su - (I tried changing SUPATH in /etc/default/login to no avail) why does smc work with su, but not su - why /usr/sfw/bin? why no chsh (change shell command, user runnable - i figured out that for a user, vi /etc/passwd and change /bin/sh to /bin/bash, but you have to be root) no firefox? gotta be kidding, even the solaris folks themeselves are running it... (so, try to install this baby, it's linked against GTK, solarisfreeware.com, get-pkg needs wget, which needs to be on the path, but if you're gonna run it as root, how does root get the path, none of that typing it in every time, either... :) ) Sol 10 as a user desktop is going to be a tough sell if the menus don't get cleaned up quickly and some 'user-friendly' docs don't appear. Server, sure - every Solaris admin probably knows their baby inside and out. Workstation, probably, with an admin available down the hall, an engineer should be able to figure out what's going on and eventually not care about the strangeness. Sorry 'bout the rant, I just want it to be 'easy'! :) Later, Will Michael-John Anthony wrote: > Does /usr/sfw/bin/mozilla exist? > > On Thu, 09 Dec 2004 12:57:47 -0600, Will Senn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >>All, >> >>Can anyone tell me what web browser is used in Sol 10 beta 8 (11/04)? >>I installed the entire distribution and I can't find one - no >>netscape, no mozilla, no opera and no firefox... >> >>Help! >> >>Thanks, >> >>Will >>_______________________________________________ >>Solaris-Users mailing list >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users >> > > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
