Subject: program for file attributes
Hi,
I'm using Solaris 8. I need a program that will give me all of the
attributes of a file,
i.e. the file creation date, modification date, last access date etc.
Does anybody know of any program like this out there?
I need to put this in a script, i.e. if the file is older than one
month, do this etc.
Does anybody know of any good way of doing time manipulations like this
in a script??
Thanks for your help guys,
Declan

Subject: Scsi drive installation: physical drive not recognised
Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 09:33:08 -0700
Hi,
I need to add an external SCSI hard disk to my Sun Ultra 30 server. I got
the
target ids used by doing a 'probe-scsi'. The steps I performed are:
1. init 0 - to get the ok prompt
2. reset - to reset the SCSI bus
3. probe-scsi - Noted that 0,1 and 6 have been used, Set the target id on
the
drive to 2
4. Powered the machine down.
5. Attached the new drive and booted the machine up, Did a 'Stop-A' to get
the
ok prompt.'
6. boot -r - to reconfigure and identify all the SCSI devices
7. I expected 'format' to now list the physical device so that I could
proceed
with formattinbg, partitioning and mounting, but format only showed the two
drives used by 0 and 1.
I have done this same steps many times and am not able to make format
recognize the newly installed drive. BTW, the drive has been switched on
and
the green light on the drive is ON :-)
Thanks in advance. Need help desperately.

Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 11:33:32 -0500
Okay, my original question asked if I could simply restore a /var file
system
from a patched system to an unpatched system and get a patched system as a
result.
The answer is no. Because patches don't only write to /var, but other file
systems depending on what is being patched.
Thanks for answering my Not Very Well Thought Out Question.

Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 12:13:35 -0500
From: "Christopher L. Barnard" <cbar44@tsg.cbot.com>
I have a server with two interfaces: hme0 to talk to most servers, and
hme1 to do backups and talk to the backup server. My problem is getting
this server to use hme1 when talking to a server on that segment.
details:
30 cms1!/ >> ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232

inet 172.31.14.84 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.31.14.255
ether a:0:20:1f:e:54
The 172.31.2 interface is the default; the 172.31.14 interface is only to
talk to boxes on the 172.31.14 network. As the ifconfig shows, the
netmasks
are correct.
31 cms1!/ >> netstat -nr
Routing Table:
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
172.31.2.0 172.31.2.5 U 3 10986 hme0

default 172.31.2.7 UG 0 415611
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 1134 lo0
A netstat shows that local traffic to the 172.31.2 network goes out the
172.31.2 interface, local traffic to the 172.31.14 network goes out the
172.31.14 interface, and everything else goes out the 172.31.2 interface
to the default router.
I am using IP numbers on traceroute to show that this is not a DNS issue.
When I do a traceroute to a machine on the 172.31.2 network, everything
is fine.
37 cms1!/ >> traceroute 172.31.2.2
traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 172.31.2.5 @ hme0

However, when I do a traceroute to a machine on the 172.31.14 interface,
the machine is *still* telling me that it is using the 172.31.2 interface!
38 cms1!/ >> traceroute 172.31.14.11

Does anyone have any suggestions of what else to try to get this machine to
use its dedicated 172.31.14 interface for machines on the 172.31.14
network?
TIA, and I will summarize.

I simply moved the PS1 definition from my
$HOME/.kprofile to either the $HOME/.profile or to
/etc/profile, and it worked. I don't understand why
it didn't work in my korn shell script (names
.kprofile) but I am happy.
foobar: kange: $su
Password:
# id
uid=0(root) gid=1(other)
#
Larry suggested Can one of the alternate prompt
strings (PS3) do this?
I have tried and can't seem to make this work. It
would be neat if I could get PS3 to work, so it would
display foobar: root: #. But at least I have
something. Here is what I tried
PS1="`uname -n`: $LOGNAME: "$
PS3="`uname -n`: root: "#
export PS1 PS3
To all that indicated that giving out root access to
users that don't know unix is scary I have to agree.
The person is the who installs Oracle, and I don't
have a choice in that matter.
++++++++++++++++ Original Question
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have received about 10 responses and I guess I
wasn't clear about my situation. I want to use the su
command not the su - command. I don't want to change
the user environment, I don't want my directory to
change, just the authority to change. The su command
is working with the exception of the prompt
automatically changing to a #. Also I forgot to
mention that if I removed the setting for PS1 in the
.kprofile then I receive the $ prior to a su command
and it changes to a # after the su command. The thing
is my user want to see the node mane and the userid
name on the prompt. So the idea situation is a prompt
that looks like this foobar: kange $ before the su
command and foobar: root # after the su command.
However I would be happy if it just changed to a
plain # after the su command. This would let the
users know it worked, which it does they just think it
didn't.
What files does the su command use or read. If I knew
that maybe the answer would be apparent. I have read
the man page, and other documents and also the Sun
Managers archives, but haven't discovered any help
yet.
My question is how can I make my prompt change when I
su (It will change if I su - root, as it executes the
.profile) The problem is with Solaris 2.8 their isn't
a change so the user thought that su didn't work. For
that reason Solaris 2.6 is a bit better. Any suggests
would be appreciated.
I have two Operating Systems, one is 2.6 and the other
2.8
In both systems I use korn shell and in .profile I
have the following
ENV=.kprofile
export ENV
Then in the .kprofile I have
PS1="`uname -n`: $LOGNAME: "$
export PS1
With Solaris 2.6
foobar:kange: $id
uid=1004(kange) gid=10(staff)
foobar:kange: $pwd
/export/home/kange
foobar:kange: $su
Password:
# id
uid=0(root) gid=1(other)
# pwd
/export/home/kange
#
With Solaris 2.8
foobar2: kange: $id
uid=1001(kange) gid=10(staff)
foobar2: kange: $pwd
/export/home/kange
foobar2: kange: $su
Password:
foobar2: kange: $id
uid=0(root) gid=1(other)
foobar2: kange: $pwd
/export/home/kange
foobar2: kange: $

Hi everyone,
Thanks to the following people for their

- Hoff_D
As for the resolution to the problems, part
1 of my question
has been fixed in SSH 3.2 (commercial)
Part 2, you will need to modify the
following line in sshd2_config
from:
# SyslogFacility LOCAL7
# SyslogFacility LOCAL7
# SftpSyslogFacility LOCAL7
to:
SyslogFacility AUTH
# SyslogFacility LOCAL7
SftpSyslogFacility AUTH
and add the following to /etc/syslog.conf
auth.notice /var/log/authlog
You could send it to any file you would like
to instead of authlog
Thank you, here is the original question:

Subject: Disksets with DiskSuite 4.2.1
Hello,
I'm having problems trying to get a shared diskset configuration set up
using two Solaris 8 (2/02 w/ latest patches, etc) and DiskSuite 4.2.1 (w/
108693-06). The two machines are attached (via fibrechannel) to two A5200
arrays, like this:
BoxA -------> ArrayA <------ BoxB
|
+---------> ArrayB
But right now, I'm just concerned with the BoxA <-> ArrayA/B part.
I believe I've met all of the requirements for adding the disks to a
diskset
("not being used for a filesystem, database, or another other application",
they're symmetrical disks, it's on a SPARCstorage Array (A5xxx series)).
So I do as the documentation examples show:
boxa# metaset -s data -a -h boxa
boxa# metaset -s data -a c2t0d0 c2t1d0 c2t2t0 c2t3d0 c2t4d0
boxa# metaset
Set name = data, Set number = 1
Host Owner
boxa Yes
Drive Dbase
c2t0d0 Yes
c2t1d0 Yes
c2t2d0 Yes
c2t3d0 Yes
c2t4d0 Yes
Then I try the example given in the Solstice DiskSuite 4.2.1 User's Guide:
boxa# metainit -s data d51 1 1 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2
metainit: boxa: c2t0d0s2: No space left on device
boxa# metainit -s data d51 1 1 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
metainit: boxa: c2t1d0s2: No space left on device
[ ... ]
... not to mention a few other commands (like "metainit -s data d51 1 3
...") which all result in a "No space left on device". I've searched the
'net for this error message with DiskSuite, but haven't found anything
(well, found *one* message that didn't seem to be useful).
I've had no problems getting "standard" DiskSuite features to work (w/o
using disksets, that is).
Anyone have an idea as to why this may not be working? Am I missing
something?
Any insight on this issue would be appreciated.

Changed it back to /dev/null made a couple of changes in my sendmail.cf

Subject: A1000 firmware upgrade
Hi everyone,
We have some A1000 attached to Ultra 60's
running Solaris 2.6.
We upgraded the OS to 8 and of course the
system did not see the A1000, then we
upgraded the raid manager to the latest
version, still no luck.
We contacted sun for help, they sent someone
to upgrade the OBP and the firmware on the
A1000. I am not sure what he did or did not
do, but after 5 hours still no luck so we
had to roll back to Solaris 2.6 and put the
system back in production.
Does anyone have any experience in this matter?
Thank you and as always I will summarize.
Vahid.

To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org
I am new to the Sun environment. I have a used Ultra 10 and
added a 2nd hard drive (60 G - Western Digital). My system
recognizes the 2nd hard drive but when I tried to format, I
get a message indicating the format program has to be
obtained from the manufacturer. Also, I did not buy any
additional IDE cables. I used the existing cable attached to
the 1st drive (in the rear). One end of the cable attached to
the Motherboard, the middle of the cable attached to the rear
hard drive and the other end (marked as 'Slave') to the new
2nd hard drive (front). I used to CS on both drives. I also
have floppy drive and CDROM and did not touch these.
Do you have any advice to solve this problem?
