OpenSolaris

Solaris is drugs; avoid it at all cost.

pkg-get

pkgadd -d http://www.blastwave.org/pkg_get.pkg

/opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i gnupg vim sudo

PATH

export PATH=/opt/csw/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:$PATH

Build Tools

You need to insert the Solaris 10 DVD; it should get auto-mounted in /cdrom/sol*. Then ls to /cdrom/sol*/Solaris\ 10/Products and install some packages:

pkgadd -d . SUNWgcc SUNWbinutils SUNWgmake

LDAP

Build openldap:

./configure --disable-slapd --prefix=/opt/csc/openldap --sysconfdir=/etc/ldap
make depend; make; make install

Build nss_ldap:

CFLAGS=-I/opt/csc/openldap/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/csc/openldap/lib\ -R/opt/csc/openldap/lib \
    ./configure --with-ldap-conf-file=/etc/libnss-ldap.conf --prefix=/opt/csc/nss_ldap

Comment out the '#define HAVE_SASL_SASL_H' line in config.h.
In Makefile, change 'LIBS = -lldap...' to 'LIBS = $(LDFLAGS) -lldap...'.

make; make install

Install nss_ldap.so:

rm /usr/lib/nss_ldap.so.1
ln -s /opt/csc/nss_ldap/lib/nss_ldap.so /usr/lib/nss_ldap.so.1

Modify /etc/nsswitch.conf to use ldap and then install libnss-ldap.conf and ldap.conf:

scp caffeine:/etc/ldap/ldap.conf /etc/ldap/ldap.conf
scp caffeine:/etc/libnss-ldap.conf /etc/libnss-ldap.conf

Kerberos

scp caffeine:/etc/krb5.conf /etc/krb5/krb5.conf

In /etc/pam.conf, after

other auth required   pam_unix_cred.so.1

add

other auth sufficient   pam_krb5.so.1

You might want to also do this for 'login'.

You need to create /etc/krb5/krb5.keytab containing host/FQDN@CSCLUB.UWATERLOO.CA where FQDN = the fully qualified domain name of the host.

ZFS

When you add new disks you need to have Solaris rescan for disks. You can do this by adding '-r' as a kernel option (via grub).

You can view a list of disks by typing

format

To create a mirrored "zpool" (basically lvm/mdadm/fs all rolled into one):

zpool create users mirror c2t0d0 c2t1d0

This creates a RAID 1 zpool with component disks c2t0d0 and c2t1d0.

To create datasets (basically mountpoints within a zpool):

zpool create users/dtbartle

Quota can be managed via 'zfs get' and 'zfs set'. To query quota, run:

zfs get quota

To set quota for a user, run:

zfs set quota=2G users/dtbartle
