Solaris 8 ignores /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources

i'm trying to load that resource for all users:
XTerm*scrollBar: true
i've put it into
/etc/dt/config/C/Xresources
/etc/dt/config/Xresources
/usr/dt/config/C/Xresources
/usr/dt/config/Xresources
$HOME/.Xresources
but it doesn't work, howether loading it manually like xrdb /path/Xresources and then starting xterm again works well (for current session)
Solaris is just fresh installed
How to solve this?

Update:
I shutdown the domain, pulled the boot disk, and replaced it with a clean drive. I built the system with Solaris 10 05/08 then patched with the latest reccomended patch cluster. My HBA is a Qlogic 2342 connecting to Cisco 9509 switches connected to a NetApp fas box (not 100% sure on the model atm, but very high end).
I configured the same lun I had on the solaris 8 box then mounted it up. All my data files are intact so I began some testing to see if the performance was any different.
I ran several timed sequential 10Gb writes and hit a max throughput of about 170Mb a sec on the lun. This is rather sad really, as it's not even hitting 2Gb FC speeds. I really punished the system with several parallel 10Gb writes, 10Gb reads, and 4k writes and reads. I never really achieved more than about 15k IOPs to the lun, and never exceded peak 190Mb a second. Under the heavy load the device queue really stacked up. The filesystem is UFS on the lun.
We're going to try some different lun setups on the netapp to increase spindle count, but I'm really not sure it will help in any way.
Does anyone have any experience with a similar setup? Perhaps changing settings in the qlogic driver conf, like frame size perhaps? How about any ideas to peg down the performance culprit (server, switch, storage)?

Enable wine...edit /usr/etc/wine/config

Enjoying arch manipulation but am not up to the big wine/config setup details.
Perhaps there is a short description of this
task somewhere available. :?:

I went through a copy of the wine config and copied it in /usr/etc/wine.config.

Sshd ignores /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny

Hello everyone,
I've just found out that sshd ignores /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny completely on my machine. It doesn't make use of tcp_wrappers. I am using the standard Arch package. Either my settings are wrong, or this is a severe security problem. It was a terrible surprise to find out that my server is under severe dictionary attacks all the time, despite the denyhosts script I am using.
These are my settings:
/etc/hosts.deny:
ALL: ALL
/etc/hosts.allow:
# some nfs daemons: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
sshd sshd1 sshd2: ALL EXCEPT /etc/hosts.evil
mysqld: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
/etc/hosts.evil:
195.113.21.131
60.10.6.53
A simple experiment to verify the settings:
[root@charon etc]# tcpdmatch -d -i /etc/xinetd.conf sshd 195.113.21.131
warning: sshd: no such process name in /etc/xinetd.conf
client: address 195.113.21.131
server: process sshd
matched: hosts.deny line 5
access: denied
[root@charon etc]# tcpdmatch -d -i /etc/xinetd.conf sshd 195.113.21.130
warning: sshd: no such process name in /etc/xinetd.conf
client: address 195.113.21.130
server: process sshd
matched: hosts.allow line 10
access: granted
This seems to be fine. But when I go to the machine 195.113.21.131, I can simply log in with no trouble at all.
This is really strange. Does it have something to do with the xinetd warning? I am not using xinetd... Maybe I'm doing something wrong. If you have experienced such a trouble, please give me a hint.

elasticdog wrote:So should our package not have the ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 line uncommented by default? My guess would be that since it listens on all local addresses by default, we're just overwriting that when specifying 0.0.0.0, which isn't valid. That was users don't have to specify their local IP address. Unless I'm wrong, shouldn't this be a bug/feature request for the packager?
This doesn't seem to be a package bug... IMHO, sshd must respect all the settings in hosts.deny and hosts.allow, regardless the IP address it listens on. The behaviour I noticed seems to be much more complicated. Basic settings (daemon name mentioned in hosts.*) worked, as far as I didn't want a "per IP" configuration. For example, including the daemon in hosts.allow really enabled remote connections, but any closer specifications (subdomains, EXCEPT operator...) were ignored. Access was simply granted without further evaluation. Excluding sshd from hosts.allow worked as one would assume. When I specified ListenAddress, everything started to work properly. This is mysterious. There are millions of computers using tcp wrappers and ssh, so it's hard to believe there could be a bug.

Pacman ignores /etc/hosts

I use csslayer-aur-repo which is placed on googlecode.com server, however csslayer-aur-repo.googlecode.com sometimes returns IP of server which doesn't seem to have csslayer-aur-repo.db.tar.gz file. As a workaround i've put csslayer-aur-repo.googlecode.com in /etc/hosts with an IP which works just fine. I've tested it with wget and ping, and both of them seem to use this "new" IP address. However pacman seems to ignore /etc/hosts and picks that random IP which mostly leads to "404 not found" error when doing pacman -Syu/Syy/Sy.
Here is my /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Archie
209.85.135.82 csslayer-aur-repo.googlecode.com
# End of file
and here is the repo entry from pacman.conf:
[csslayer-aur-repo]
Server = http://csslayer-aur-repo.googlecode.com/files

Yup, wget fetches http://csslayer-aur-repo.googlecode.com … .db.tar.gz just fine and it uses the IP specified in /etc/hosts.
Surely pacman does not deploy its own DNS server, but seems to ignore /etc/hosts. If i remove csslayer line from /etc/hosts then wget also will fail.

If you upgraded from a pre-release version of Oracle VM 3.0, this may have caused the file to be renamed by the upgrade process. Otherwise, just reinstall the entire server from the 3.0.1 ISO image.

Web Server reads /etc/apache2 config after upgrade to 10.8.1

I just updated one of my servers to 10.8.1 from 10.8. It seems with the ML update the OSX Server configuration files in
/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2
are no longer being read; instead, the non-server configuration files in
/etc/apache2 get read. I was wondering if anyone knew an easy fix? Also, DocumentRoot was set to an external drive
/Volume/Library. The update created a folder at my mount point containing a default WebDocuments in it. My external
drive ends up being mounted at Library 1. Why?

The first part of this question is actually partially explained by the second part. ML Server was not reading /etc/apache2, it was reading the osx configuration file, but somehow after the upgrade it was creating a new folder at the mount point of my external drive being used to hold my webdocuments. This seemed to happen before my drive got mounted (obviously). Deleting this folder and restarting seemed to fix the issue.

Installing Oracle 9i on Solaris 10 SPARC, /etc/system vs. projects

Can anyone verify that the kernel tuning parameters that used to be set in /etc/system on Solaris 8 have any effect in Solaris 10? All the documentation I can find suggests that most (if not all) of these settings have been marked obsolete or removed in Solaris 10. It is my understanding that these settings (such as shared memory) need to be set by means of a project. If we are running with no project setup in Solaris 10 are we pretty much running "untuned" ? Thanks

/mnt/etc instead of /etc when configing in install

So, I get this really weird problem..
I'm installing ARch on a computer for dual boot use, with ubuntu.
Everything works fine up until the configuration.. The problem here is that that nano is looking for all config files under /mnt/etc/... but they are located under /etc/... and thus, I end up with empty, alternatively unconfigured files. I have looked in the mounted /etc/ and there are config files there.. Is it safe just to edit them with nano in an alternative window or is it a point in editing it in the installer? I suppose i could read /etc/.. to the file under /mnt/etc but what good will that do?
I'm using an old /boot that i mount, and an old SWAP, the / is, ofc, new.
Anybody knows what causes this and what i should do?:o
Edit: Nothing is wrong with the cd I think, successfull installs have been made with the same cd previously, not on dualboot systems though..
Edit 2: Tried to conf using the files under /etc but they don't contain what they should, looks like the second half of the files has been cut basicly..

Check the wiki and do a manual install or download the latest usb-image. I think this is more or less an issue with older cd isos.
Regarding the manual installation, or semi-manual or whatever feels good to say, this part of the dmraid-wiki might help.

Files in /etc/dt/config/*

Running Solaris 9 SPARC
What are the correct filenames in subdirectories "C", "en_US.UTF-8", "en_CA" and "en_US" ?
sys.resources or Xresources ??
Thanks

I'm having problems connecting to my desktop using XDMCP. Any attempt to connect just "hangs". Initially, checking netstat didn't show anything for port 177.
From Google, I found that I had to remove the "udpPort=0" string from dtlogin. After doing that it made port 177 show up in a netstat, where it didn't before. So I thought I was getting somewhere.
But, the status is "Idle", not "Listening"XDMCP is UDP, not TCP. "LISTEN" is a TCP concept that does not apply here.
'Idle' would be normal for the XDMCP port.
I also set "tcp_listen = true", as suggested by another article, but still no joy.That's not going to do anything useful.
Any attempt to connect just hangs.You might try snooping to see what's happening, or maybe truss dtlogin as you attempt to connect.

Solaris 10 HP Inkjet prints config file?

Hello All,
I was able to install the printer ok but when a try and print something I get about 6 pages of what appears to be a config file or something.
The printer is a HP 6122 and is attached via lp1.
I've tried changing the options in the printer properties view but it does not make any differance.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Tom

Thanks Alan. I worked on trying to get the NIC working again last night. I had it working once, although the settings did not perist. I can still get the device to load, but I can't communciate with the router (it's not physical because another OS can reach it.
I took your advice and tried the sys-unconfig. But I did not have much success.
I am wondering if plopping in a new PCI NIC would be the most efficient route to get the server up.
What kind of NIC do you utilize and have had success with?
I am looking at possibly a DLINK DFE-530 or NetGear FA-311. I don't need wireless at this point just a rock solid DEV box.
Thanks again for the previous info.

Do you advise stopping mail services before editing the conf.pl file?

That's all I needed to know. Thanks ptero!

Solaris 10 login banner security warning

We have a virtualized configuration with multiple VMs and were trying to make our Solaris 10 VM's issue a warning banner at login.
We have updated the standard files for this:
/etc/issue
/etc/motd
/etc/olt/config/c/Xresources
Yet we still see nothing at login
Any ideas?

How are you logging in? If you are using ssh you need to modify sshd_config to have Banner point to one of these files. If you are logging on the zone's console check permissions on those files and your /etc/profile, .profile to make sure you aren't supressing the output somehow.

/etc/hosts file ignored

I'm having a strange problem with the hosts file
I've edited my hosts file so I can work with a local machine for testing.
The entry in the hosts file is honoured for about 30 seconds or for as long as I ping it.
As soon as I stop pinging it, it reverts to the DNS entry and ignores etc/hosts
If I then touch hosts, it wil honour the entry again for 30 odd seconds.
Any ideas?

When it reverts to the DNS entry, I'm not 100% sure DirectoryService is making a request out to our DNS servers or if it's cached somewhere, but it's certainly not using what's in hosts.
Wow, this is odd. WRT DirectoryService making requests, you can use the "dscacheutil" command to look at syscall stats. This utility will track cache hits, cache misses and external calls for each standard system call it monitors. So, you care about gethostbyname(), so by periodically running dscacheutil, then doing name lookups (i.e. with ping or whatever), you can see where the system is getting the data. You'd want to run something like this:
dscacheutil -statistics | grep gethostbyname

/etc/hosts.deny ignored

Hey all!
I've tried to secure my sshd by running denyhosts (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/search/?q=denyhosts).
denyhosts works perfectly and adds alot of adresses to /etc/hosts.deny
But my system ignores /etc/hosts.deny: I still got my sshd-logs full of connections from the same IP.
Don't worry, I've tried it with my PC: same result.
I've added my IP by hand: same result.
Why is my /etc/hosts.deny ignored? What can I do?
Regards,
Moritz

Java timezone vs Solaris /etc/TIMEZONE

Hi, I've a perplexing (but rather interesting) problem.
On our old Solaris 6 box, /etc/TIMEZONE contain these lines
TZ=EAT-8
LC_COLLATE=en_US
LC_CTYPE=en_US
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US
LC_NUMERIC=en_US
LC_TIME=en_US When I type date on the Solaris command line, I get this response
# date
# Thu Oct 14 09:29:24 EAT 2004
When I run a test program I get different date and time
public class DateTest
public static void main(String[] args)
    String timeZone[] ={"GMT","GMT-1","GMT-2", "GMT-3", "GMT+8", "EAT", "EAT-8", "Hongkong"};
    System.out.println("DEFAULT TIME ZONE");
    System.out.println("Date = " + new Date());
    for(int kk=0; kk<timeZone.length; kk++)
        TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timeZone[kk]));
        System.out.println(" DATE: " + new Date()+" TIME ZONE: "+ timeZone[kk] );
}DEFAULT TIME ZONE
Date = Thu Oct 14 04:29:29 GMT+03:00 2004
DATE: Thu Oct 14 02:29:29 GMT+01:00 2004 TIME ZONE: GMT
DATE: Thu Oct 14 04:29:29 GMT+03:00 2004 TIME ZONE: GMT-1
DATE: Thu Oct 14 04:29:29 GMT+03:00 2004 TIME ZONE: GMT-2
DATE: Thu Oct 14 04:29:29 GMT+03:00 2004 TIME ZONE: GMT-3
DATE: Thu Oct 14 04:29:29 GMT+03:00 2004 TIME ZONE: GMT+8
DATE: Thu Oct 14 04:29:29 GMT+03:00 2004 TIME ZONE: EAT
DATE: Thu Oct 14 04:29:29 GMT+03:00 2004 TIME ZONE: EAT-8
DATE: Thu Oct 14 04:29:29 GMT+03:00 2004 TIME ZONE: Hongkong
One would think that EAT-8 would get me the same result, but no!
How does one get Java to return the same result as the date on command line?

I don't pretend to be an expert on this %!&*%# mess they've made of calendars, cates, and times, but I have learned that Dates / the Date class won't play nice with the other classes. I only use Dates in their default values. Here's something that set the timezone as you were trying to do.
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class DateTest
    public static void main(String[] args)
        Date now = new Date();
        System.out.println("DEFAULT Date = " + now);
        DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.FULL);
        String[] timeZone = {"America/Los_Angeles", "MST", "JST", "US/Hawaii", "Etc/GMT-4", "CET", "GMT", "Hongkong"};
        for (int kk = 0; kk < timeZone.length; kk++)
            TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone(timeZone[kk]);
            df.setTimeZone(tz);
            System.out.println(df.format(now));
}
