It looks like everything will "just work" except for the fact that ESP traffic is not visible on a SOCK_RAW socket (since the introduction of IPsec in Solaris 8). I spoke with the IPsec team offline about this, and they agreed that it would be feasible to remove that restriction. I've filed 6499846 (a high-priority RFE) to track the issue, but I'd encourage anyone who's interested in working on this to speak up -- the IPsec team would be happy to assist you with it. Further, if there are others in the community who would like to see this support, please speak up -- it will help us prioritize this work. -- meem From peter.lees at yseda.com Thu Dec 7 16:07:22 2006 From: peter.lees at yseda.com (Peter Lees) Date: Thu, 07 Dec 2006 16:07:22 PST Subject: [approach-discuss] removable devices not on desktop?

These GNOME bits first appeared in build 53. I recommend upgrading to 54. You can also upgrade to 53, but you'll need to manually run 'svcadm enable hal rmvolmgr' before logging in or else GNOME goes nuts; the bug was fixed in 54 and these services are enabled automatically upon upgrade. -Artem.

You need snv_53 or later. -- Darren J Moffat From peter at yseda.com Sun Dec 10 21:24:43 2006 From: peter at yseda.com (Peter Lees) Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 21:24:43 PST Subject: [approach-discuss] non-root shutdown Message-ID: <1501724.1165814713681.JavaMail.Twebapp@oss-app1> hi folks this is a laptop/approachability crossover. how are people shutting down their laptops? currently i su to root and issue 'init 5' to poweroff, but this seems a bit clunky to me. is there a way of using RBAC to determine if a user is the console owner, and allow shutdowns ("Repair/Maintenance" rights to the user? obviously i can just apply those rights to my normal user ID, but that seems a bit clunky too. it strikes me that this should be an install-time config flag or something. thoughts?

Yes, there are several profiles which include this.

If you are in a window system, then it will put up a confirmation window. I can't decide if that is annoying or not... I'm leaning towards annoying. -- richard From Darren.Moffat at Sun.COM Mon Dec 11 03:08:20 2006 From: Darren.Moffat at Sun.COM (Darren J Moffat) Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 11:08:20 +0000 Subject: [approach-discuss] non-root shutdown In-Reply-To: <1501724.1165814713681.JavaMail.Twebapp@oss-app1> References: <1501724.1165814713681.JavaMail.Twebapp@oss-app1> Message-ID: <457D3C24.6020100@Sun.COM> Peter Lees wrote: > hi folks > > this is a laptop/approachability crossover. > > how are people shutting down their laptops?

Install time is the wrong time to do this. -- Darren J Moffat From peter at yseda.com Mon Dec 11 12:21:59 2006 From: peter at yseda.com (Peter Lees) Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 12:21:59 PST Subject: [approach-discuss] Re: non-root shutdown In-Reply-To: <457D3C24.6020100@Sun.COM> Message-ID: <25110727.1165868549552.JavaMail.Twebapp@oss-app1> doh - of course sys-suspend is the way to go :P is that function in the gnome menu somewhere ?

Switch to using GDM rather than dtlogin then add this to /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf [greeter] SystemMenu=true This adds it to *both* the GDM menu before login and to the launch menu while logged in on the console. That isn't gnome-sys-suspend though but a GDM feature. -- Darren J Moffat
