s10u4 release date?

Is there an estimate of this date available?
I am assessing whether it is worthwhile to
upgrade an X86 machine at s10u2 to s10u3 or
better to wait for u4.

Re: Using some key in command prompt

Hi,

With my understanding with Solaris,  to get bash shell automatically
invoked, while you click command prompt follow these steps.

  1. edit the file /etc/passwd
  2. In the row of your user name, it may have the default shell name
with path.
  3. You change it to /usr/bin/bash (ensure it is available there)
  4. Save and restart the system properly.
  5. Now you should have got the answer.

Here i also want to stress, that you can edit 6th coloumn, which
specifies the default home directory for your login.

Hey, do you know, if i create / edit the .profile file which should be
available in the home directory of that user, i can execute any
commands automatically when I do login. (Note: Pls restart the system
to see the effects).

Bye 
Parasou.

Re: s10u4 release date?

The word I got from Sun people was mid-August for download availability.

Do not do that.
Use useradd/usermod/userdel. They are tools that ensure that you won't
f*ck up /etc/passwd by mistake, which I've seen done far too many times.
I'm hitting on the head anybody here that I catch using vi on /etc/passwd.

This is not a Microsoft Windows mailing list. To see effects, you only
need to source .profile. Restarting the system is for when you patch the
kernel or its dependencies.

In this case I would simply do "passwd -e" and fill in the new shell.

/usr/ucb/vipw is a good compromise between the (2) options mentioned.

Not anymore when you move root out of /, alas (I can't stand all the
useless stuff that gets put in ~root).

Not all hardware :-)
Most of what I replace is hard disks, no shutdown for that, luckily.

RE: RSYNC

You are using rsync initialized by inetd on 'remotesystem', which is obvious from your
remotesystem::TEST entry. What you are doing does not involve ssh at all, its using the rsync daemon (port
873/TCP) on the client to the directory configured in the TEST rsync module in /etc/rsyncd.conf. 

Rsync is so flexible, and it can be confusing when you first learn it. You can use it to copy files 1) Between
two local directories 2) Between two systems using 'rsync --daemon' 3) Between two systems using rsh 4)
Between two systems using ssh.

Subject: [solarisx86] RSYNC

All,

I have application libraries that need to be updated on a number of clients. We need the flexibility
of updating the clients on a schedule and at any given time and several clients get a subset of the libraries.
I was thinking of using rsync in inetd on the clients and running a script out of cron to push the libraries
from the master server.

Can ssh be used with rsync running out of inetd? I was under the impression that ssh is built in to rsync which lead

DVD burner that works with cdrw and/or cdrecord

Can anyone recommend a currently available DVD burner that will work
with Solaris 10 U2 and cdrw and/or cdrecord?

I checked the HCL but it's not very current.

TIA,
Robert
