Inetd services (telnet, rlogin ,rsh) in Solaris 9 Branded Zone

Hi,
I've got two Solaris 9 Branded Zones running on an M3000. They both use exclusive IP.
When I try and telnet, rlogin or rsh to either of my Solaris 9 zones from the other I get an error. With the r* commands I get a "Protocol error" message, and telnet just reports a terminated connection. I've tried Mr. Google, the results I get make sense for a physical host - i.e Protocol Error would occur if the server executable (in.rlogind, etc) was somehow messed up.
Just to complicate things slightly the exclusive IP NICs are on a physically separate switch from the other NICs.
I'd forgotten that with the Branded Zones some native features are actually handled by the underlying global zone (i.e. Solaris 10).
Anyway, has anybody else had this same problem and how did you resolve it?
Thanks
Tim Shaw.

I found out that the services in the Global Zone had been disabled. Simply enabling them fixed the problem :)

[Solved] Arch Linux in a Solaris branded Zone

Hello,
After having read this article at the Genunix WiKi, I 'd very much like to install Arch Linux (http://204.152.191.100/wiki/index.php/I … anded_zone) in a Solaris branded Zone. However, the Arch Linux file to download is about two years old now, so I 'd like to roll one with a bit more recent kernel.
I just wonder what might be the procedure to do so.
a) Is it just unpacking the ISO inside the zone and let it enroll whilst booting?, or
b) is it advisable to install the old package and upgrade from there?
I am quite curious to learn how this works.
TIA, Algey

Hi,
it does indeed sound like an interesting little project. You should, however, revert to your procedure (a) and use one of the recent ISO images the Arch team has updated this year.
Using that old tar will give you numerous headaches when trying to upgrade. Doing a simple upgrade from that old file will most probably break the system, thats why they took the effort to provide the new ones.
Good luck.

Solaris Branded Zones, Unable to reboot/Halt

Hi People,
Hoping someone can help. Im running Solaris 10 on a Sun Workstation Ultra 45. I have two disks. One disk has the default install of solaris 10 all updated to the latest patches.The second disk is mounted as /zones and holds each of the zones on ZFS. I have then downloaded and installed successfully Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 zones. So I have 3 zones.
The problem I am facing is I can boot up all 3 zones fine and they work great, however when I halt or reboot either Solaris 8 or solaris 9, they never come back up. I try and zlogin to them and telnet and ssh and they are totally unresponsive and quite literally dont boot. I have tried to pkill -9 -z zonename ; umount /zonesfilesystem; zpool clear and even rebooted the Global zone. Still will not come up. The only way they will boot after being shutdown is if i shutdown the global zones and turn the server off and back on.
Solaris 10 Zone boots up and down fine with no isses. I have tried this on both UFS and ZFS thinking it might be a file lock issue. Still unable to reboot or halt a zone and bring it back up.
Any help please :)
Thanks in advance.

When they are unable to come back up, what does 'zoneadm list -cv' say? If the state of the zone is "down" or "shutting_down", you can probably benefit from the fix for:
7038404 outstanding zone references should not cause zone_destroy(2) to hang
This is available in 147440-05 (sparc) / 147441-05 (x86) or later.

Veritas Netbackup Client Installed on Solaris 10 Zone Unable to Work

Hi
I am having problems with Veritas Netbackup client which had been installed on a Solaris 10 zone only. We are using Veritas Netbackup server which is installed on a Windows 2000 server and the NBU server is unable to add the new client for backup.
The way I installed the NBU client was using the manual method where I installed directly on the zone. The zone I've created is a full root zone and the installation seems to be successful.
Somehow the NBU server just can't see the new client. Do I need to install the client in the global zone to make it work? Is there any checks I can do to make sure I have installed the client correctly and that the services are running in the solaris 10 zone side? Any kind of help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Xavier

Hi mcbrune1
I've check on the services in the client and all 4 services were up and running. Than I realized that this client was hardened a few weeks back. So I checked on the /etc/hosts.allow file and added an entry to allow the Master server to communicate using bpcd.
Now the Master server is able to see the client and everything seems to be working. Thanks for your help.
Cheers

Rcp, rlogin, rsh, telnet, hosts.equiv 9iRAC

Hello all,
I wonder whether rlogin, rsh, rcp, telnet and hosts.equiv are required for 9iRAC to function on Linux. The install guide for 9iRAC on RH AS2.1 has one start up those services and use hosts.equiv. Even though we are behind a firewall, I would much rather not have them running.
Any guidance would be appreciated
Thx
Wayne

Ok, I'll just try to sym link to secure equivalents and set up auth keys for Oracle user.

How to enable rsh/telnet/rlogin

Hi Followed the instructions at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106274
to enable rsh/telnet/rlogin services, and restarted the
machine (MacBook Pro, OS X 1.4, Darwin Kernel Version 8.6.1).
Still I can't remotely do telnet/rsh/rlogin to the mac
(get conenction refused error) from a Unix machine.
Could someone tell me how to enable these services
(right now ssh is the only one enabled by default,
the machine is within a firewall, and for some applications,
we need to enable rsh/rlgoin/telnet/ftp etc).
Thanks.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi Followed the instructions at:
ttp://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106274
to enable rsh/telnet/rlogin services, and restarted
the

8.6.1).
Still I can't remotely do telnet/rsh/rlogin to the

If your firewall is activated
then you have to add 3 new filter rules:<pre>
Port Name: Other
TCP Port Number(s): 514
UDP Port Number(s):
Description: rsh
Port Name: Other
TCP Port Number(s): 513
UDP Port Number(s):
Description: rlogin
Port Name: Other
TCP Port Number(s): 23
UDP Port Number(s):
Description: telnet
</pre>
You don't have to restart your Mac or your session.
You could test it pretty quickly by doing a:<pre>
telnet localhost
rlogin localhost
rsh localhost pwd
</pre>

Inetd service/program crashes with core dump in Solaris 8 zone/container

I have developed a service in C that is launched from inetd when something comes on a specific port.
When a connection is opened to the port a core dump is created in the same directory where the executable file is located.
If you run the same service program from the command line everything is working perfect.
This is running in a Solaris 8 zone/container on a Solaris 10 machine.
Everything is set correctly in /etc/inetd.conf and in /etc/services.
I have even stripped down the program to a hello world program that is just printing a string to the screen and it is still crashing with a core dump.
# ldd test_srv
/usr/lib/secure/s8_preload.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R/lib/libc_psr.so.1
The same service is running on a Linux machine and on a Solaris 10 machine without zones/containers without any problems.
Can you please help me figure out what am I missing. Is there something specific with zones/containers that should be set / configured?
Do I have to set some specific env. variables to work in a Solaris 8 zone/container environment or is it something very simple that I'm missing?

Could you please examine the truss log and advice what the problem is and how to fix it?

Ping is working properly. Do you have any ideea how can i fix this problem?
Thank you.

Yeahh, guys!!!
I was trying to establish a two-node cluster using VirtualBox + Solaris x86 + Sun Cluster 3.2. The node where I was running scinstall to configure my cluster environment was rebooting the other node in the end of the configuration process but it was hanging in the "Rebooting node01..." message just because it was not able to establish the cluster.
After see your comments, I changed Solaris x86 to Solaris Express Community Edition and Sun Cluster to Cluster Express and now everything is working fine!
Thanks!

Rsh in solaris

hi guys
we have moved our apps and db servers physically
my solaris admin had earlier made a shell script for daily backup of prod system. since we have 2 node configuration,he is calling the second node from 1 st node to stop the apps services. however the rsh command is giving timeout.
he is using the following line in script
"rsh prdap -n '/tmp/stopapp.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null &'"
I want to know where is prdap defined as alias for the ap server.
more hosts --
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.224.8.142 faprdap.sog.com faprdap
192.168.0.2 prdap
on faprdap.sog.com
more .rhosts
faprddb.sog.com root
prddb root
However, the apps server is faprdap.I was wondering y he is calling the "prdap" and it was working fine.
Any help would be appreciated

As I understand from your post:
- Application node hostname: prdap
- Application node IP Address: 192.168.0.2
- Database node hostname: prddb
- Database node IP Address: Unknown
Your DBA is calling "stopapp.sh" script from the database node to stop the application services using "rsh prdap -n '/tmp/stopapp.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null &'"
faprdap, and faprddb are private interconnect hostnames (addresses) for the application node and the database node respectively which are used for the cluster purpose.

Solaris 8 branded zone core dump on cssd

Hi,
Just migrated my first Sol8 machine to a solaris 8 branded zone. but on the console I get error messages:
Nov 8 12:45:42 gent320b cssd: The process "ccv.sh" has been killed by sig#139, core dumped
Nov 8 12:45:47 gent320b cssd: The process "kkcv.sh" has been killed by sig#139, core dumped
the netstat -f unix

stream-ord 6000ebffad8 00000000 /tmp/jd_sockV6
output doesn't list any /dev/ccv or /dev/kkcv sockets like to 'real' machine.
Any ideas?

This error messages are output by

Solaris 8 branded zone and privileges

Hello,
I've just installed a Solaris 8 Branded zone to migrate an old server. The migration worked like a charm, and everything seems ok excepted one thing. The zone must run a Lotus Domino server, so the process needs to bind ports 80, 443 and 389, but it can't.
I've found things about the limitpriv directive for the zone configuration, and the net_privaddr privilege to allow a process to bind ports under 1024.
So now, if I run the process in the non global zone as root, it can bind, but if it is launched as the user notes, it can't.
If I use the ppriv command to see what are the privileges of the process, I see :
1945:   /opt/lotus/notes/latest/sunspa/server
flags = <none>
        E: file_link_any,proc_exec,proc_fork,proc_info,proc_session
        I: file_link_any,proc_exec,proc_fork,proc_info,proc_session
        P: file_link_any,proc_exec,proc_fork,proc_info,proc_session
        L: contract_event,contract_observer,file_chown,file_chown_self,file_dac_execute,file_dac_read,file_dac_search,
        file_dac_write,file_link_any,file_owner,file_setid,ipc_dac_read,ipc_dac_write,ipc_owner,net_bindmlp,net_icmpaccess,
        net_mac_aware,net_privaddr,net_rawaccess,proc_audit,proc_chroot,proc_exec,proc_fork,proc_info,proc_lock_memory,
        proc_owner,proc_session,proc_setid,proc_taskid,sys_acct,sys_admin,sys_audit,sys_mount,sys_nfs,sys_resourceSo, the net_privaddr appears in the limit, but it is not enabled. How can I make it enabled for that process?
Thanks

Thanks for the link, good explanations about privileges but they seem unusable in Solaris 8 branded zone. It suggests to create a role with the privileges my process needs, using the "rolemod -K" command, but this option does not exist for the rolemod command in my Solaris 8 zone, it just supports "classic" RBAC.
Maybe the solution would be to create the good profile for the user running the process, but I'm a little bit lost with RBAC and I can't find an existing profile corresponding to what I want.
Actually, the limitpriv for my zone is "default,net_rawaccess,net_privaddr,file_dac_read" and that's all. I added net_privaddr and file_dac_read because I saw that a "ppriv -D" on the Lotus server complained about the lack of these privileges, but in fact they are already included in default privileges.

Solaris 8 graphical logon (CDE) in branded zone

How do I enable/configure a graphical interface (cde) for my Solaris 8 branded zone in solaris 10?

1. check if dtlogin is running in S8 BZ:
# ps -ef | grep dtlogin
if it's not running start it:
# /etc/init.d/dtlogin start
2. from client initiate a XDMCP request using the IP of this S8 BZ.
From Solaris 10 you can use "Options -> Remote Login".

Multithreading issue on Solaris 8 branded zone

Hi,
We are facing a multithreading problem in Solaris 8 container (branded zone) on Solaris 10.
The core file shows 2 LWPs for a single thread.
First LWP
(dbx) lwp
current LWP ($lwp) is l@1403
(dbx) print this->m_ThreadId->m_IdImpl.m_PosixId
this->m_ThreadId.m_IdImpl.m_PosixId = 1404U
Second LWP
(dbx) lwp
current LWP ($lwp) is l@1404
(dbx) print this->m_ThreadId->m_IdImpl.m_PosixId
this->m_ThreadId.m_IdImpl.m_PosixId = 1404U
Another point to note is that dbx returns 'MT support is disabled' for this program even though it has been built using the -mt option. The dbx version is Sun Dbx Debugger 7.5 2005/10/13.
As far as I have read, the Solaris 8 branded zone uses the alternate T2 thread library. Note also that this program is linked with the alternate thread library @ /usr/lib/lwp.
This alternate thread library is supposed to use the 1:1 thread model.
Can someone explain why are we then seeing 2 LWPs for a single thread ?
Thanks,
Best regards,
Raj Iyer

Trouble w/installing Solaris 10 branded zone on solaris 11.

Having issues creating a policy that works installing solaris 10 u10 branded nfs zone on sol11 in opscenter 12c u1. Maybe i'm just overlooking something basic or it isn't supported in opscenter. I'm able to create the policy but seem to get a very non-informative error message when deploying it.

Solaris 10-Branded Zone

Hi,
I am trying to establish whether the following configuration is officially supported (and documented):
"Non-Global zone running a release of Solaris 10 which is older than the release of Solaris 10 running in the Global Zone".
I'm familiar with the idea of Branded Zones to support Solaris 8, 9 & some Linux kernels, and have seen some forum posts where people have created Solaris 10-branded zones, but haven't really seen anything that puts the official seal of approval on that configuration. Also I'm familiar with LDOMs and appreciate that I could get to where I want to be that way too.
Any help welcome.
Thanks,
Paul.

This will be supported in Solaris 10 Upate 9 to a degree, using p2v. Below is a reply I had to a request I'd put in. You might also want to read this
http://blogs.sun.com/jerrysblog/entry/zones_p2v
Hi Sean,
I got information that p2v project is being backported for S10u9
This means, that you will be able to install a native zone from a flar.
I don't have detailed information at the moment, how this will work in terms of
patching in combination with Global Zone and other sibling NGZ's.
+According to Jerry Jelinek, Solaris10-branded zones will not being backported to Solaris 10,+
Got this info yesterday evening from Jerry.
I'll provide some more info about the p2v project for native zones in coming Solaris 10_U9,
once I got more details.
So, I'd suggest to check, whether the mentioned p2v project with flar on native zones might fit your requirements.
Thanks,
Alfred
