Iptables in Solaris, like in Linux

Hello!
I wanted to check that like in Linux, is there any command like iptables, or any other adjacent command, performing the same function as of implementing a security firewall....??

You only have ipfilter, aka ipf wich is the default FreeBSD network filter.
You also have SunScreen from solaris, but I didn't like it.
Go for ipfilter, it's different from iptables, but similar and quite nice.

  • Solaris 10 and Linux-like console navigation - e.g. pressing TAB,using arro

    I'm struggling navigating in the Solaris( 10on x86 ) xterm from CDE(oh and anywhere basically). I'm coming from Linux so I was wondering is this the way this really should be and is there any way to change it(found linux-like motions in the menu though not sure that this is the way or what to look for).
    By navigating I mean as in the topic and like in Linux- e.g. pressing TAB to see list of commands, to complete the name of the file I've already started writing, using the arrows to see most recent executed commands etc.
    It's just that sometimes I make a mistake and it's buggering me to re-write command again or copy/paste.

    Looks like you need to set (in /etc/passwd) your default shell to bash in order to have Linux-like navigation you've described or run 'bash' as first command in new terminal.

  • Apple should make a server hardware/OS with iOS level security. This could compete well with the breach infested pre secure OS/hardware server systems like Windows Linux OSX.  It should be structurally immune to phishing etc

    Apple should make a server hardware/OS with iOS level security. This could compete well with the breach infested pre secure OS/hardware server systems like Windows Linux OSX.  It should be structurally immune to phishing etc and could be sold easily as a secure alternative.  It should be based on structural hardware based security as has been demonstrated in the iOS operating system and the hardware should be made in secure facilities in the US.  Those Chinese put weaknesses into the hardware they make as has been documented on 60 minutes.

    Apple's entry in the server market has come and gone - is there a question in there somewhere?

  • Solaris 10 and linux IB

    We have a linux cluster running RH5.3 with ofed1.4 using Mellanox MT25418. The cluster is attached to a sun solaris10.7 thumper box. The thumper box export a zfs filesystem via NFS. linux clients mount the filesystem via IPoIB.
    Under filesystem I/O load the subnet manager gets repeated path record requests from the sun solaris box. This can bring the SM and the fabric down. Any any one else had issue with solaris IB <-> Linux IB? Any insight into what could be causing the issue?
    Thanks,

  • Command equal to Solaris devfsadm in linux

    I attached a tape drive to sun fire x4170m3 server having operating system OEL5.8, need to add the driver to the kernel as we do in solaris devfsadm -c tape,,
    I would like to ask if someone know about any equal command to the solaris devfsadm  so I can add driver module to the Linux kernel without rebooting the Server.
    Thanks in Advance...
    Owais Hyder.

    To load and unload drivers in linux, you want to use the modprobe command. Chances are the scsi card (or fibre), is already loaded. You need to just load the scsi tape driver (st).
    # modprobe st
    You can check what scsi devices appear with:
    # cat /proc/scsi/scsi
    If the tape drive is not listed, then you may need to load additional drivers for the scsi card. In some cases, you may need to rescan the scsi bus. There are a couple of ways to do this. First see if the schell script rescan-scsi-bus.sh exists on the system. If not, just google around for rescanning the scsi bus.
    Good luck

  • Solaris 10 and Linux dual boot

    I currently have Linux installed and would like to install Solaris 10 on the same system via a different H-drive. I would like to have both OS fully functional.
    I have loaded Solaris 10 CD1 but unable boot into solaris to complete installation.
    I have edited linux /boot/grub/menu, syntax outlined below.
    title solaris in hdc1 known to grub as (hd1,0)
    root (hd1,0)
    chainloader +1
    Still unable to boot up solaris getting error: 21
    Here's my hardware configuration
    Primary Mstr: 1 ide H-drive - Linux
    Primary slave: n/a
    Secondary mstr: 1 ide H-drive - Solaris 10
    Slave: DVD
    Thanks to all in advance!

    OK, folks, I have solved it and here are my last words on the subject.
    First of all, my verdict is to use the Solaris GRUB to boot all the other OS's, just because the Linux GRUB "cannot mount the partition", where Solaris kernel is. The Solaris GRUB can do it all.
    I can absolutely boot my Linux (hd1,0) partition from my SXDE GRUB installation on (hd0),
    for that I use the following section in */boot/grub/menu.lst*:
    title SuSE-10.3-GM
    root (hd1,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1 vga=0x31a splash=silent ht=on showopts
    initrd /boot/initrd
    map (hd0) (hd1)
    Yes, "*map ...*" string is important, for GRUB starts the counting from the drive it is installed in. It seems, the author of the original post is missing this string in his bootloader configuration; his Linux is on (hd0) and Solaris on (hd1), so he needs to use the "map" string.
    I must also add to this, that when I booted last time into my Linux (SuSE10.3), I took care to install it's own GRUB bootloader into the Linux installation partition(must be set bootable). You have different ways of doing it, basically you can log into GRUB shell and do this:
    grub> root (hd1,0) --- my linux partition
    setup (hd1,0) -- the partition I wanted to install GRUB into(which IS my linux bootable partition).
    This helps when you've got your first drive MBR corrupted, and need to boot your linux somehow; then you "chainload" from the boot partition.
    However, the example shown above boots my SuSE right away, without chainloading into the GRUB installed into the Linux partition. Yes, Solaris GRUB does that without complain, and I added this section manually to the menu.lst when logged in after the SXDE installation was complete. My homage to the Solaris version of GRUB in this case, which is more capable, than the Linux version. Thanks to you developers!
    If GRUB couldn't boot linux kernel directly, I'd have to use chainloader string (which is also known to work) like this:
    root (hd1,0)
    chainloader +1
    map (hd0) (hd1)
    And the problem I had with installation and partitioning was solved by formatting the whole drive into Solaris. In fact, there had been a lot of partition deletion/creation by me, so the Linux fdisk could see one partition configuration, while Solaris fdisk saw it all different. Well, I can see that disk partitioning in itself is a bit more complicated process, than the end-user wants to think.
    Excuse me for such long letters, I just tried to give a thorough account on the matter. Hope this would help somebody out there.
    Cheers,

  • Solaris 10: A linux-user's attempt

    seeing as how Sun has released Solaris as open source now, I figured I would give it a shot. I like to think of myself as very open-minded and since I support linux because I tried it and found it to be better, there is no reason to not try other Operating Systems and continue to assess the pros/cons to each.
    After downloading the 4 cds and burning all the ISO images, I began to reboot so I could see how the install goes. I have seen from my google searches that Solaris does not like to co-exist with linux on the same physical drive, so i have my /dev/hdb ready to go!
    I had some questions about adding Solaris to my grub entry, but I can always worry about that later.
    During the bootup process from the Solaris install cd, it just stops. It begins to boot off of the install cd, but then after stating "Running Configuration Assistant..." I have nothing at all.
    It just hangs. I litterally get 5 seconds into the bootup before it stops.
    Does anyone have any advice? Maybe I have a corrupt ISO? Something has to be wrong, because I know people have been able to install Solaris 10 x86
    System information:
    AMD 2600
    256 MB DDR (2700) RAM (ya, i know...)
    Integrated Lan (traditionally eth1), Sound, Video (but not used), usb, ect.
    Linksys 10/100 Lan card (traditionally eth0)
    Nvidia Geforce 4 Ti 4200 (128mb)
    17" Monitor (traditionally at 1024x768)
    hda: 160gb [hda1: 70gb, hda3: 30gb, hda4: 1gb, hda5: 50gb]
    hdb: 80gb [hdb1: 70gb]
    hdc: +/- DVD RW
    hdd: DVD/CDRW
    Wireless mouse/keyboard (wired set on hand incase solaris does not support)
    OS's: Fedora Core III (hda1), Win2k (hda3), Suse 9.1 (hda5)
    anything else that you think might help?

    Perhaps a little belated: two things.
    1) grub entry and disks: a "makeactive" and "chainloader +1" generally work well for booting the partition with solaris (x86) on it, as with *BSD.
    Solaris 8 and 9 worked ok on the same disk as other systems but made the annoying demand that solaris should get the first dos partition on the disk. It would be nice if this is no longer necessary, but I'd guess it is...
    2) "seeing as how Sun has released Solaris as open source now,"
    I'd be very happy if this were so, but the last I heard was that a few parts had been made open source, although there were statements that all would be in the end.
    So, I don't see how the "open source" promise is going to make it more reasonable for you to try solaris x86 now than it would have been previously (unless it's the ethics of claimed intention rather than the practicality that interests you).
    If you want to play with different systems than linux, try the BSDs (from which root Solaris came). FreeBSD has excellent hardware support and much less hurdle-filled installation than solaris, and has an easy system for adding any of hundreds of free software packages. Solaris x86 may be useful for ensuring uniformity with solaris on existing sparc architectures, but it just isn't as easy to get lots of recent free software installed for every day use; and much proprietary software that supports solaris supports only the sparc version (and possibly linux x86) so you don't get that either by using solaris x86.

  • Solaris 10 and Linux inter-operability

    Hi there
    I have Ubuntu linux and recently installed Solaris 10 on my x86 machine. My setup is dual boot through grub.
    I wondered if there were any decent guides on Solaris and Linux inter-operability that could be recommended. My aim is to try Solaris 10 as a home desktop machine i.e. play music, video, surf email etc.
    Thanks in advance

  • Why choose Solaris 10 over Linux?

    Hey everyone -
    I was wondering if any of you would mind telling me what advantages Solaris 10 holds over Linux?
    I'm not well informed on their pros/cons and would love to hear the perspectives of some gurus.
    Thanks, I appreciate the insight!

    I am actually in the process of trying to answer this question for an upcoming project I am involved with. I have worked heavily with both Linux (SLES10, RHEL specifically) and also with Solaris 7,8,9, and 10 over the past several years. Honestly, I can argue on either side but I am trying to find compelling answers to bring to the management table. This may be like the search for WMD's but I think I have some answers and I continue to find myself leaning towards Solaris as I have in the past. One of the biggest reasons I chose Linux in the past was the ability to run on X86. That no longer is an issue. The many advantages of Solaris are for sure Dtrace which I have found extremely useful. Also one thing i'm finding is that support has become cheaper through sun than it is through Novell. One other thing is hardware. I have several Sun hosts that have been around longer than I have and continue to run while it seems I'm getting 4-5 years or less out of my other servers(Dell). Linux has gotten 10 times better since 2.4 and even better with 2.6 but with Dtrace, Containers and ZFS, I'm partial to Solaris. Also, ACL's are good in Solaris. I've never used them in Linux so I cannot comment.
    If I'm off base on anything let me know and please add anything else.

  • Order of installing Windows XP, Solaris & Red Hat Linux...

    Hi all,
    If I were to install Windows XP, Red Hat Linux & Solaris in intel dual core machine, in which order do I proceed to install. First Windows XP, then Solaris & Linux, I believe. Am I right. If not, please correct me.
    Thanks,
    ...

    Although posted under different title and content, your most recent thread
    Windows and Solaris not booting on a Windows, Solaris and Linux Machine.
    is actually the duplicate of this thread.
    The right order of install is Windows XP, RHEL, Solaris. Because, if the Linux is the last installed OS, the Linux version of GRUB will be installed on the MBR (Master Boot Record), and you will not be able to boot Solaris. Why? Because the Linux GRUB doesn't currently recognize Solaris VTOC (Volume Table Of Contents) and UFS (Universal Disk Format File System) formats. Only the Solaris version of GRUB works as common loader for Solaris and Linux. Since you installed Linux as the last OS (as per your duplicated thread), you can try to chainload from the Linux GRUB by modifying the grub.conf on Linux, eg:
    # cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
    default=2
    timeout=15
    color white/blue black/cyan
    title Windows XP
         rootnoverify (hd0,0)
         chainloader +1
    title Solaris 5.10
         root (hd0,1)
         makeactive
         chainloader +1
         boot
    title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
         root (hd0,2)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
         initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.imgwhere
    (hd0) is the first (bootable) BIOS physical disk, and GRUB boot loader is installed on its MBR
    (hd0,0) is the first primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Windows XP
    (hd0,1) is the second primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Solaris 5.10
    (hd0,2) is the third primary partition of the first BIOS disk - RHEL-4
    Modify this according to your real disk partition map if it's necessary.
    If this doesn't work (at least it should work for Windows and Linux), then I suggest reinstalling all three OSs from the ground up. A year ago I successfully installed Windows Server 2003, RHEL-4.5 and Solaris 10 on single 250 GB physical disk. You can follow my procedure. Before that, boot the system with the first RHEL-4 installation CD, type "linux rescue" and press Enter. When linux console appears, delete all partitions using fdisk. Or, alternatively, type
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=2048This will erase your Master Boot Record and MBR Partition Table inside it, even much more filling out 2 MB continuous disk area with zeros. Restart the system, insert Windows installation media and start the procedure:
    1. install Windows XP as the first OS. If it doesn't matter, create only one 25 GB C: drive on the entire primary partition rather than 10 GB C: and 15 GB D: drives, unless you are not sure Solaris had overwritten the D: drive on the extended partition
    2. install RHEL-4 as the second OS. At this point you will be able to access Windows and RHEL-4 from GRUB. Boot RHEL-4 and navigate to /boot/grub/grub.conf. As you might need this information later, copy or make a note of the Linux entry on paper. The entry is something like this:
    title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
         root (hd0,1)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
         initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.img3. install Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) as the third OS. That way the Solaris version of GRUB will overwrite Linux GRUB in MBR and will be installed as the common loader for all three OSs. At this point your system might be set to boot all three operating systems. If not, you will be able to access the Solaris and Windows only. In that case boot Solaris, navigate to /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the Linux entry you copied from Linux grub.conf in the step 2. The next time you restart the system, you should be able to boot all three operating systems using Solaris version of GRUB.

  • Switch between ttys like on Linux

    Hi ,
    I would like to know how can i start process and assign it to a speciefic tty like /dev/pts/20 and whenever i need to interact with it , somehow i'll switch to that terminal like the ALT+CTRL+Fx on linux .

    Hi,
    I found following two technotes on sun sites.
    Since virtual terminal is not supported by default,
    below procedure is not supported one.
    In Solaris 2.1, which few people have, this worked the same as the other
    versions of UNIX for PCs did. It also works correctly in Solaris Base
    Server 2.4, which was designed to work similar to Interactive UNIX.
    In Solaris 2.4 and later, up to 2.6 at least, this was disabled by
    default. However you can re-enable the feature with a little work if
    you have root access to the system. Please note that this feature is
    not officially supported, but it does seem to work, so the process is
    documented here for those that require it. Please consider using CDE,
    which has multiple workspaces, for future compatibility.
    For Solaris 2.4, 2.5, and 2.5.1 you must create the /dev entries
    yourself, after the system is installed. For 2.6, they are already
    there and you can skip to the step where you edit /etc/inittab now.
    Step 1 - Determine the device's major number:
    # grep -i chanmux /etc/name_to_major
    chanmux <num>
    Step 2 - Add the /dev entries using the major number (<num>) you found:
    mknod /dev/vt01 c <num> 1
    mknod /dev/vt01 c <num> 1
    Step 3 - Adding entries to /etc/inittab:
    Add the following lines, one for each vt## device you created, to the
    /etc/inittab file. Be sure to put them after the co entry.
    co:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p "`uname -n` VT01
    login" -T
    AT386 -d /dev/vt01 -l console
    co:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p "`uname -n` VT02
    login" -T
    AT386 -d /dev/vt02 -l console
    Step 4 - Tell init that /etc/inittab was changed:
    # /usr/sbin/init q
    Now you can switch screens using <Alt>-<PrintScreen> followed
    by <F1>
    for vt01, <F2>, for vt02, etc. Using
    <Alt>-<PrintScreen> followed by
    <P> will switch to the previous screen, or <N> for the next
    screen, in
    cyclic order.
    The one real difference is that to switch back to the normal console
    screen you must use <Alt>-<PrintScreen> followed by
    <H>, instead of <F8>
    as Interactive UNIX used to use.
    Let me remind you that this is not an officially supported mode of
    Solaris X86. This FAQ is to help those migrating to Solaris X86 from
    Interactive UNIX or SCO UNIX that require a feature like this for their
    current environment.
    A better solution is to plan to use CDE Workspace areas for this type of
    function in the future. Each Workspace can then act as a virtual screen
    and the buttons on the toolbar can be named for their function.
    The VT feature has been removed starting from Solaris 8. Sun recommends
    customers to move their programs to CDE as CDE provides a much better
    functionality and is the Sun supported standard for multi-screen display.
    As mentioned in FAQ 2445-02, the virtual terminal (vt) was all along an
    unsupported and
    deprecated feature in Solaris x86. It was maintained to ease the transition
    from
    IUS to Solaris.
    If you would still like to use the vt on Solaris 8 without changing your
    programs, you might want to check the XiG product from AcceleratedX -
    http://www.acceleratedx.com/
    Please note that we have not verified above product and we are not making a
    product recommendation. Please check directly with the product vendor.

  • Restore solaris db on linux can't restore controlfile

    Hi all. Hope someone can help with this.
    I take my backups with this conf.
    configure controlfile autobackup on;
    configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/u02/backup/rman/<sid>/ctl_sp_bk_%F';
    I do full backups at 3:00 am and archive log backups every hour.
    I've copied my backups to the exact same locations on the new server.
    rman
    set dbid
    connect target /
    set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/u02/backup/rman/<sid>/ctl_sp_bk_%F';
    restore controlfile from autobackup;
    no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece
    I can rename the file to just %F and copy to <ORACLE_HOME>/dbs and still same error.
    When I restored on a solaris box I was able to restore when I renamed the file to just %F and placed in the dbs folder but not on the linux box.
    Any suggestions or something I've left off?
    Thanks.

    You are in luck, with 10g you can utilize
    RMAN Cross-Platform Transportable Databases and Tablespaces to perform this operation.

  • Migrate Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 from Sun solaris to RHE Linux 32 bit.

    We are migrating the Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 from Solaris two node to Linux two node including the database Oracle 10.2.04 64 bit.
    Since the applications only support 32 bit we are not able to store CM tier in a 64 bit Linux so with this considerations we are going with the below plan.
    1. Install RHEL 5 as a 32 bit for two nodes ( One for DB/CM and FORMS/WEB)
    2. Migrate the applications and DB from Solaris to Linux as the same node configuration that is
    Node A:
    Oracle DB 10.2.0.4 64 bit ( SUN oS 10 64bit) -> Oracle 10.2.0.5 32bit (RHEL 5 32 bit)
    Oracle Apps CM 11.5.10.2 (SUN OS 10 64bit) -> Oracle apps CM 32 bit(RHEL 5 32 bit)
    Node B:
    Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 forms (sun OS 10) -> Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 forms ( RHEL 5 32bit)
    Oracle apps WEB 11.5.10.2 (SUN OS 10) -> Oracle apps WEB 11.5.10.2 ( RHEL 5 32 bit).
    Question : 1. Did you see any snag on this kind of migration
    2. Any documentation to migrate the Oracle APPS 11i 10.2.0.4-64 bit database from Sun Solaris to oracle apps 11i 10.2.0.5-32 bit on Linux

    Hi,
    1. Did you see any snag on this kind of migrationWhy would you downgrade the db from 64 bit to 32 bit. As 32 Bit has lot of memory limitations.
    You could keep the database on 64 bit for linux too.
    2. Any documentation to migrate the Oracle APPS 11i 10.2.0.4-64 bit database from Sun Solaris to oracle apps 11i 10.2.0.5-32 bit on Linux Please see
    Note 238276.1 - Migrating to Linux with Oracle Applications Release 11i

  • Solaris Express on Linux Ubuntu (Gutsy)

    I am trying to install SDXE on my VAIO laptop. It passed the compatibility tests, so there should be no problem.
    But, despite I have a 12 GB primary partition available, the installer tells that there is a problem with Linux FDisk partitions, which can not coexist with Solaris FDisk partitions.
    I have read that it is possible to have a multiboot computer with Solaris/Linux(Ubuntu 7.10 in my case) and Windows.
    But the installer does not go further.
    Or should I get rid of my Ubuntu Linux?
    thanks in advance for any advice on this.

    Finally, after three shots, I got Solaris in my notebook.
    Now, I am struggling with WPA for my wireless network. Where does Solaris store WPA keys?
    After a couple of hours, I decided to move to my router and wire my notebook :(
    But it is ok. May be somebody could help me with this.
    Also, is there a stand-by / hibernate option?
    best regards from Lima, Peru
