Solaris 8 and dialup connection

I have a SunBlade100 running Solaris8 with a dialup connection to the internet using a 56k external modem. The connection has been fine until several days ago when the dialup script started ending at
"call cleanup (0)"
with the following error message:
"10:08:43 process_ppp_msg: PPP_ERROR_IND maximum number of configure requests exceeded".
The following Q&A is from docs.sun.com:
Problem: Cannot establish PPP link. Operation fails with the status message:
"PPP error on ip_interface: Maximum number of
configure requests exceeded"
Solution: PPP Configure-request frames are generated to start the link
establishment phase. After a certain number of frames (defined by the keyword lcp_max_restart in the file ppp.conf) are generated without a valid response, the client assumes that the remote server is unreachable. This may indicate one of the following:
There is a problem with the physical connection between the two hosts. Check the cable to your modem.
PPP is not running on the remote host. Check that PPP is configured and started at both ends of the link.
The link establishment phase is not completed, because the configuration negotiation does not converge. Check for configuration problems.
If you are trying to establish a link over a long-delay network, such as a satellite connection, or over a congested line, the maximum number of configure requests may be exceeded before the negotiation is completed. Increase the maximum number of configure requests sent (lcp_max_restart) and the time between retries (lcp_restart_timer).
My question is: where do you go to edit the variables "lcp_max_restart " and "lcp_restart_timer" ?
Thanks in advance for any info!

Thanks for the reply.
I did a file search for ppp.conf as it doesn't exist at /etc/opt/SUNWconn/ppp/.
It doesn't seem to exist anywhere on my computer!
Is ppp.conf the normal location for the variables "lcp_max_restart " and "lcp_restart_timer"?

Solaris containers and Fiber connection

Hi guys,
I have sucsessfully migrated solaris 8 system to solaris 10 containers. and also mounted some RAID enabled partition on non global zone without any issue. now i need to connect a fiber channel to my host OS (solaris 10) and add the SAN partition to my container (solaris 8). if i run cfgadm command it says cfgadm: Library error: Device library initialize failed: Invalid argument.
there are some other ways to mount the SAN (mount the SAN on host and export the partition to container). but i need the above method . is it possible to mount the SAN partition from the non-global zone ? if so how should i do it .
thanks,
Tharanga

As far as i know you can't give the non-global zones the required permissions which is needed to mount a FC LUN directly into the non-global zone.
I think you have to mount the LUN in the global zones, and then loop-back-mount them into the non-global zone.

Re: Forte and Dialup PPP connections

Subject: Forte and Dialup PPP connections
Priority: normal
Reply-to: "Dexel Durban" <[email protected]>
We want to run Win 95 on our client forte machines. Currently we're
using Forte v2.0E and MS TCP/IP.
Everything works fine in the LAN enviroment, however these client
machines have to run at remote sites, and therefore will need to use
modems with dialup PPP links.
The catch with the dialup procedure is that they will dial into a box
which verifies their username/password and then dials them back (for
security reasons) and sets up the PPP conection.
The only software that seems capable of setting up a PPP connection
after someone dialing your machines, is a product called Fastlink which
we're using.
After we've set up the PPP connection and run forte it works 100%,
however if we come out and run forte again - it can't establish the
connection to the host.
What we've deduced from this is that possibly :
1) MS TCP/IP isn't cleaning up after itself after the first
connection
2) The problem lies with Fastlinks ODI driver.
My questions are :
1) Has anyone managed to get forte running over a modem using PPP,
with the call-back verification procedure outlined above ?
2) In the Forte doc's it says that Forte is only compatible with Win
95 and MS TP/IP no other TCP/IP stack - is this true, or has someone
managed to get another stack working ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I have some similiar problems that basically were solved by a fix to one of the
ip executables. For this particular situations I was using Lan Workplace for DOS
Version 5 and just visited their web site and looked for a description similiar
to the problem I was having to determine the right patch. It sounds like when
you let go of your connection that the com port is probably still being held and
not beig released. I could be wrong but.... are you getting any other type of message?

Thank you for your answer, David.
We are considering the splitting of one VMS partition into several ones to
streamline some functionality. Currently the communication between the
implied components is handled within the existing partition. By splitting it
we are expecting some performance loss due to interpartition communication
overhead and, since the number of messages expected will be high, we were
wondering if they will be needlessly going through the whole network stack
or transferred directly via socket IPC, as can be done in the Unix boxes.
The answer would help us tune-up the system by focusing at the right
parameters during testing of the new setup.

Filtering TCP connections on Solaris 9 and 10

I need to develop a driver to filter TCP packets on Solaris 9 and 10. My understanding is that I need to develop a STREAMS module to do this. Searching the forums and reading the docs it does NOT look like a STREAMS module can be inserted between IP and TCP in the stack. Instead it looks like I have to insert my module between the NIC driver and the IP stack. Is that correct? Is there an alternative interface (hook) in the IP stack that would allow me access to TCP packets?
Assuming STREAMS is the way to go, can anyone point me to some example code to get a jump start on this project?
Thanks in advance for your time and feedback

OS 10.4.6. has broken dialup connectivity when using fast user switching

I installed OS 10.4.6. It seems to have broken dialup connectivity when using fast user switching when switching from one user to the next.
For dialup, it is extreamly annoying that I can not resume downloading a file from were it got cut off, but now, if another user wants to check their email, my download always gets broken and has to be restarted. Dialup is slow enough with out having to start from scratch even more frequently, now.
Also, in earlier versions of 10.2 or 10.3 (I don't remember which), I was able to switch users and maintain listening to a single users' iTunes.
I would like to be able to switch users and not lose either my dialup network connection or the primary users currently playing iTunes songs.
Perhaps for iTunes, one should be able to chose to mute another users' instance of iTunes, if it is currently playing.
Mini-Mac 1.42GHz 80GB BT/AE Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I have not tried replicating this but might be able to provide some additional information.
We use network login accounts on our desktop computers. Fast User switching deliberately will not work for multiple network login accounts. (Remember network login accounts normally also have an associated network home directory mounted via AFP.)
Now a bit of background about volumes and mount points under Mac OS X. Under Mac OS X, any additional drive (or more accurately 'volume') is listed under the 'Volumes' folder, remember also that Mac OS X is a Unix operating system. So just as normal for Unix, the boot drive is '/' or the root level and Volumes is a folder in it. The underlying Mac OS X software automatically 'attaches' and additional volumes as sub-folders in the 'Volumes' folder (in Unix speak these are called 'Mount Points'), if you have an external hard-disc called 'Fred' then this would be represented by the following path
/Volumes/Fred
If you happen to have two volumes with the same name connected at the same time then while in the Finder they may show up with the same name, in Unix they would have different names automatically assigned to keep them separate like so
/Volumes/Fred
/Volumes/Fred 1
Now getting back to the Fast User switching problem and AFP volumes, when you login to a File Server volume it also is automatically added to the Volumes folder, so if we have a File Server volume called 'Shared' it would look like
/Volumes/Shared
With Fast User switching potentially both user accounts could be accessing the same /Volumes/Shared which means both user accounts would be talking to the server via the same File Server login, hence the possibility for one of the Fast User accounts to be using the 'wrong' permissions.

Compiler directives to differetiate between solaris 9 and solaris 10

i have an API which makes certain function calls which are different for solaris 9 and solaris 10. i cannot add my own defines, since that would mean that applications too would have to define them.
does the Sun Workshop compiler provide any default directives to differentiate between solaris 9 and solaris 10? something like #ifdef __SunOS_5.10 or something like that?
thanks.

As explained in the C Users Guide, the compiler predefines several macros, one of which is represents the Solaris version number.
The macro name is derived from the output of the commands
uname -s and uname -r, starting with __, connected by _, and with dots replaced by _.
Running on Solaris 9:
% uname -s
SunOS
% uname -r
5.9
The defined macro name is __SunOS_5_9
On Solaris 10 you get __SunOS_5_10
__SunOS_5_9

Are there differences between Solaris 8 and Solaris 2.6 in the way web pages are displayed for Chinese and Korean text using UTF-8 settings?

A user is running a web application on Solaris Release 2.6 with UTF-8. After the server was updated to Solaris 8, the application is experiencing problems with webpages containing Korean and Chinese text. The encoding is UTF-8. Has anyone experienced this problem? I checked the packages installed on Solaris 8 and they are consistent with what was installed on Solaris 2.6. Could this possibly be a patch-level problem? Thank you.

Hi,
It could be a problem with the necessary patche updation. refer the following FTP site for the Solaris pathces.
connect through the FTP cleint to sunsolve.sun.com
/pub/patches directory contains a lot of patches for solaris.
Find and install the corresponding patch require to solve your problem.

SSH Differences between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10

I use public key authentication when connecting via SSH but have noticed a difference between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 and wondered if it's an environment setup issue. I keep my keys in $HOME/.ssh
When connecting from Solaris 9 I can provide an identity file without a path regardless of the directory that I'm in e.g.
ssh -i my_identity_file user@hostnameThe above works even if I'm not in the $HOME/.ssh directory. But when using the same from Solaris 10 I get the following error:
Warning: Identity file my_identity_file does not exist.If I run the command from $HOME/.ssh on Solaris 10 it connects fine, and if I pass in the path like so it works fine:
ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/my_identity_file user@hostnameIs there a setting specific to SSH somewhere as I can't see anything in my environment that's different between the two systems. There's certainly no entry in $PATH that points to $HOME/.ssh. How could I get SSH to work on Solaris 10 by just providing the identity file name and not the full path
Regards
Rich

It's not explicitly defined in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, so I'm assuming it would be using the default which is ~/.ssh/id_dsa.
But surely that's irrelevant if I'm using the -i switch to provide the identity file?
Remember the problem here is that I have to provide a full path to the identity file, whereas before just the filename would do.

ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_recv_hiwat 131072
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_naglim_def 1h4. Tuning the Time Wait Interval and TCP Connection Hash Table Size
{color:blue}/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 60000{color}
The tcp_time_wait_interval is how long a connection stays in the TIME_WAIT state after it has been closed (default value 240000 ms or 4 minutes). With the default setting, this socket will remain for 4 minutes after you have closed the FTP connection. This is normal operating behavior. It is done to ensure that any slow packets on the network will arrive before the socket is completely shutdown. As a result, a future program that uses the same socket number won't get confused upon receipt of packets that were intended for the previous program.
On a busy Web server a large backlog of connections waiting to close could build up and the kernel can become inefficient in locating an available TCP data structure. Therefore it is recommended to change this value to 60000 ms or 1 minute.
h4. Tuning the maximum number of requests per IP address per port
{color:blue}ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q 16384{color}
{color:blue}ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q0 16384{color}
The {color:blue}tcp_conn_req_max_q{color} and {color:blue}tcp_conn_req_max_q0{color} parameters are associated with the maximum number of requests that can be accepted per IP address per port. tcp_conn_req_max_q is the maximum number of incoming connections that can be accepted on a port. tcp_conn_req_max_q0 is the maximum number of “half-open” TCP connections that can exist for a port. The parameters are separated in order to allow the administrator to have a mechanism to block SYN segment denial of service attacks on Solaris.
The default values are be too low for a non-trivial web server, messaging server or directory server installation or any server that expects more than 128 concurrent accepts or 4096 concurrent half-opens. Since the ATG application servers are behind a DMZ firewall, we needn't starve these values to ensure against DOS attack.
h4. Tuning the total retransmission timeout value
{color:blue}ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_ip_abort_interval 60000{color}
{color:blue}tcp_ip_abort_interval{color} specifies the default total retransmission timeout value for a TCP connection. For a given TCP connection, if TCP has been retransmitting for tcp_ip_abort_interval period of time and it has not received any acknowledgment from the other endpoint during this period, TCP closes this connection.
h4. Tuning the Keep Alive interval value
{color:blue}ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval 7200000{color}
{color:blue}tcp_keepalive_interval{color} sets a probe interval that is first sent out after a TCP connection is idle on a system-wide basis.
If SO_KEEPALIVE is enabled for a socket, the first keep-alive probe is sent out after a TCP connection is idle for two hours, the default value of the {color:blue}tcp_keepalive_interval{color} parameter. If the peer does not respond to the probe after eight minutes, the TCP connection is aborted.
The {color:blue}tcp_rexmit_interval_*{color} values set the initial, minimum, and maximum retransmission timeout (RTO) values for a TCP connections, in milliseconds.
h4. Tuning the TCP Window Size
{color:blue}/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_xmit_hiwat 65535{color}
{color:blue}/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_recv_hiwat 65535{color}
Setting these two parameters controls the transmit buffer and receive window. We are tuning the kernel to set each window to 65535 bytes. If you set it to 65536 bytes (64K bytes) or more with Solaris 2.6, you trigger the TCP window scale option (RFC1323).
h4. Tuning TCP Slow Start
{color:blue}/usr/sinb/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_slow_start_initial 4{color}
tcp_slow_start_initial is the number of packets initially sent until acknowledgment, the congestion window limit.
h4. Tuning the default bytes to buffer
{color:blue}ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_naglim_def 1{color}
{color:blue}tcp_naglim_def{color} is the default number of bytes to buffer. Each connection has its own copy of this value, which is set to the minimum of the MSS for the connection and the default value. When the application sets the TCP_NODELAY socket option, it changes the connection's copy of this value to 1. The idea behind this algorithm is to reduce the number of small packets transmitted across the wire by introducing a short (100ms) delay for packets smaller than some minimum.
Changing the value of tcp_naglim_def to 1 will have the same effect (on connections established after the change) as if each application set the TCP_NODELAY option.
{note}
The current value of any of the TCP parameters can be displayed with the command ndd get. So to retrieve the current setting of the {color:blue}tcp_naglim_def parameter{color}, simply execute the command:\\
{color:blue}ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_naglim_def{color}

For example,
Socket.setSoTimeout() sets SO_TIMEOUT option and I
want to what TCP parameter this option corresponds in
the underlying TCP connection.This doesn't correspond to anything in the connection, it is an attribute of the API.
The same questions
arises fro other options from SocketOptions class.setTcpNoDelay() controls the Nagle algorithm. set{Send,Receive}BufferSize() controls the local socket buffers.
Most of this is quite adequately described in the javadoc actually.

Tethering Bold causes Dialup connection box to appear when opening IE

I am using a Bold 9000 from ATT. The ATT 6.10 Com Manager installed on a laptops causes the dialup connection box to come up every time I open Internet Explorer even when I am connected to the network. It wants me to dial out to make a internet connection. If I log onto the system as admin I can unselect the dialup box and it works fine, when the user logs in under his profile it will not allow him to unselect the dialup connection box. This is without the BB being connected to the laptop and the laptop connected to the network. The laptops is running Windows XP. I have removed and reinstalled the software to try to fix the issue and it still persists. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your feedback. Sorry, it was not my intention to be rude.
I've been following your helpful suggestions. Ie. checked to see if perhaps my missing mail is ending up in a junk box. I have created an Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, and Archives, within MAIL, but never a junk box. So I checked everywhere, ie. through all these existing mailboxes, through Spotlight,etc. for anything to do with Junk and found nothing relevant.
Next, went into MAIL Preferences. Found within 'Rules' folder, that there is only one Rule ticked as Active. Its listed under 'Description' as 'News from Apple'. I think the Apple store guy who first helped me set up my email put this in? Anyway, when I pressed Remove button, a message said, 'Are you sure you want to remove the selected rule, 'News from Apple'? This operation cannot be undone.' So I wasn't sure, and pressed Cancel button.
I did decide to untick the 'Enable junk filter' box, but all that it was doing was highlighting suspect junk mail text with a brown color. The rest of the emails appear in black text when they arrive in Inbox.
Meanwhile, I am using an ordinary dial up POP connection. I have an Apple external modem attached to my MbP, and a modem cord plugged into the modem at one end and the telephone socket at the other. This is the same modem cord I used successfully with my G3.
Further comments or suggestions are very welcome.

RDS thru Solaris 9 and CF7

I'm using CF7 under Solaris 9 with Acache 2.0.X, I can log
into the CF admin but cannot get to RDS. I researched this all over
for several days not without any success. THe Web.XML is is fine,
and enabled. But connecting through Dreamweaver or CF Studio is
unsuccessful. I am getting a 407 error which indicates proxy
authentication, _Has anyone succeeded in connecting thru RDS with
Solaris?

And anyway if you use a Solaris8 DCA that works the samem, since they are not much changes in hardware support for x86, and the important thing is to use further a Solaris 9 Cd to install.
By the way these IBM x86 boxes (300 an NetVista series from a pair of years ago) are a pain,they don't support el-torito, even with the more recent bios.

Can I use my iphone5 to create a hotspot and then connect a device that requires a ethernet cable to a lan(router) this router obviously needs to use my hotspot to connect?

I need to setup Solar inverters remotely some times and I am looking to see if there is a way to use my iphone to connect the inverter to the internet. My thought is to create a hotspot and then connect the inverter to a router(it has a ethernet cable that can plug into a lan) The router is then connected to my iphone. So something similar than a dongle I suppose?

If you're wanting to share your hot spot with a device that requires an Ethernet connection, you need a device that can connect to Wi-Fi while providing access to that connection via Ethernet. One idea might be to configure an AirPort Express to serve as a Wi-Fi extender of your hot spot, and plug the solar inverter to the Ethernet port on the Express.

Dialup connection with Advance Replication

My Multimaster replication 9i is working fine on LAN with hostname setting with dblink method.
I want to connect office and home databases for replication with dialup connect with local isp. DSL connection is available in office.
1) How will I connect with dialup from home; i.e. should I make a dblink with IP setup instead of hostname at home; and provide the dynamic IP address of home server in office server?
2) Do I need static IP for home as well?
3) If we setup our server with dynamic IP then what changes will we make on every connection; I mean should I make a dblink for every dynamic IP? Or should I open tnsnames file every time when we connect through dialup?
Is there any other setting required for connection between two servers? Please guide me in detail.

Assuming that the dialup link even provides enough bandwidth to handle the volume of changes you're making, and that we're dealing with asynchronous, rather than synchronous, operation...
You would almost certainly need to have a static IP address on both sides. I'd be a little suprised if a dialup ISP offered static IP addresses, but I suppose it's possible. Barring a static IP address, you might be able to use some sort of dynamic DNS service, but that would just be adding another level of fragility to an already very fragile system.
You would need to be able to make a direct connection from your database at home to the database at work. Assuming that you follow basic security guidelines, though, the work database should be behind a firewall and inaccessible to the public internet. That would mean that you would want to create a VPN tunnel from your home machine to your work machine. That encryption, though, will tend to decrease the bandwidth you have for replication. If you don't use VPN software, you'd probably have to open holes through the firewalls at work and at home to allow database traffic, which would be somewhat insecure.
What is the purpose of this exercise, though? It seems unlikely to be particularly stable, however it is configured. If you can describe the goal, we may be able to suggest more stable alternatives.

How to share dialup connection from XP (ICS) through Airport Extreme?

Is it possible to configure my Airport extreme (gigabit version) and client computers to share out a dialup connection coming from an XP machine using ICS?
I figure I could pick up one of the old airport router that had a built in modem, but figured I'd try this approach first. thanks
Here is a graphic that shows what I'd like to set up
http://spfarm.com/network.jpg

Hi, is the AEBS/n going to have it's own internet connection. This is important, because you can't have two gateways on the same subnet. This means you can't have both Dialup and ADSL on the same subnet.
If your only gateway to the internet is your dialup throught ICS, then you are forced to use the DHCP service provided by XP. However, XP DHCP server is very simple, and you can't change server computer's IP address, or change the range of allocated addresses. And you MUST disable the DHCP on the AEBS/n.
To summarize, you can only have one gateway per subnet, so if the XP is setup to use ICS, you must setup AEBS/n as a bridge.
