 It's the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD variant, so Debian userland with
 FreeBSD kernel:

No it doesn't. Debian installer support for ZFS is only provided
for the kFreeBSD variant. Linux variants of Debian provide
ZFS-FUSE packages. The ZFS on Linux project cited above provides
native ZFS support in Linux via kernel module, however due to
licensing incompatibilities binary packages of that module cannot
be legally redistributed. It is thus legally impossible for
Linux distributions to include ZFS on Linux packages.

Even in a domain mode setup, if you use any local accounts,
you'll need the pam.conf change so that /var/smb/smbpasswd
will contain NT password hashes for the local accounts.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Why is user logged into `/'

2010-12-02 Thread Harry Putnam
In two separate installs of b 147.. I find that my user gets logged
into `/' on login.

home is mounted normally:

mount |grep home

  /export/home on rpool/export/home
  read/write/setuid/devices/nonbmand/exec/xattr/atime/dev=950008 on Thu
  Dec 2 19:06:19 2010
  
  /export/home/reader on rpool/export/home/reader
  read/write/setuid/devices/nonbmand/exec/xattr/atime/dev=950009 on Thu
  Dec 2 19:06:19 2010
  
  /home/reader on /export/home/reader
  read/write/setuid/devices/dev=950009 on Thu Dec 2 19:06:37 2010

And its obvious from the values of PS1 and PS4 that the ~/.bashrc has
been read but the shell opens at `/'.

/etc/passwd clearly shows user at /home/reader

On login user knows the value of $HOME... an echo shows:
/home/reader

If I `su -'   to root, root is also logged in to `/'.. an echo from
roots' shell of $HOME shows /root, /etc/passwd shows /root

Since root is part of `/' there is no question of its being mounted.

So what is the likely cause?  Or how can I debug it.  The usual things
like /etc/passwd that dictate such things seem to point to the normal
places yet logging in does not seem to pay any attention to that.

What do you have for:

grep ^automount /etc/nsswitch.conf

and assuming it's files, what do you have in /etc/auto_home ?

Should be something like:

user   localhost:/export/home/

If you're using a networked backend for automount, then wherever the 
equivalent automounter home info is...



Also, check svcs -p autofs

[OpenIndiana-discuss] about devlopment tools

2010-12-02 Thread Harry Putnam
I remember from opensolaris when I wanted to compile a few minor
things not available in the repos that I needed to install a specific
pkg that contained many of the needed tools.

I wonder if anyone can guess what that might have been.

These are small non complicated sources like xbindkeys.

Another is rsnapshot which I think is really more a perl script but I
think still needs to be compilred.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] No timeslider... what gives

2010-12-02 Thread Harry Putnam
On a new install of b147 when the gui is up I attempt to access the
timeslider tool from the System menu.

I'm asked for root passwd

Ok done.

Then the watch shows as if something is taking time start.
That disappears and nothing every appears on the desktop.

This should just work straight off... right?

Harry:

You seem to be facing many problems with your current OI install,
which no one else has faced so far.

Is a reinstall an option for you?

Alternatively, one of the Belenix team members has written a Network
Installer for OI which you may want to try. This is described at
moinakg.wordpress.com

from a specific linking problem for one of the shared libraries, GCC
