To use pfexec similarly to sudo, use “usermod” to give the account the “Primary Administrator” profile: # usermod -P’Primary Administrator’ aleonard “aleonard” will now be able to preface commands with “pfexec” to run them as root, similar to sudo when configured not to prompt for a password.

Configure ‘/usr/lib/mail/cf/sendmail.mc’ to meet your needs; for example, to use the access_db and mailertable features: divert(0)dnl VERSIONID(`@(#)sendmail.mc 1.11 (Sun) 06/21/04′) OSTYPE(`solaris8′)dnl DOMAIN(`generic’)dnl FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o -T /etc/mail/access’) FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable’) MAILER(`local’)dnl MAILER(`smtp’)dnl The new ‘sendmail.cf’ can be built in ‘/usr/lib/mail/cf/sendmail.mc’ by running ‘make’ as root. Copy the new ‘sendmail.cf’ file to ‘/etc/mail’ and restart [...]
Use “devfsadm”; from the man page: devfsadm(1M) maintains the /dev namespace. It replaces the previous suite of devfs administration tools including drvconfig(1M), disks(1M), tapes(1M), ports(1M), audlinks(1M), and devlinks(1M). References: Adding a Hard Drive to Solaris 10
Edit the following files as appropriate: /etc/hosts /etc/nodename /etc/hostname.<interface> /etc/defaultrouter Reboot to apply the changes, or run: # svcadm restart network/physical
Here for my reference; adapt for your convenience: or possibly:
The crle command on Solaris is used to configure the runtime linking environment (get it?). If you are seeing errors similar to the following, you may need to look at and adjust your linking environment with crle: ld.so.1: conftest: fatal: libreadline.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory Using crle is straightforward; to view the [...]
Check the status of a service: > svcs ntp STATE STIME FMRI disabled Feb_27 svc:/network/ntp:default View a service’s dependencies: > svcs -d ntp STATE STIME FMRI online Feb_27 svc:/network/service:default To see what other services depend on a given service: > svcs -D ntp STATE STIME FMRI online Feb_27 svc:/milestone/multi-user:default To enable a service: > pfexec [...]
Use zonecfg to configure the lofs mount; this will work nicely for CDs in addition to ordinary filesystems: # zonecfg -z zone1 zonecfg:zone1> add fs zonecfg:zone1:fs> set dir=/depot zonecfg:zone1:fs> set special=/depot zonecfg:zone1:fs> set type=lofs zonecfg:zone1:fs> add options [nodevices] zonecfg:zone1:fs> end zonecfg:zone1> commit zonecfg:zone1> exit special is the directory from the global zone to mount; dir is the [...]
