Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Looking for capable notebook for OI and other OSes, small size and with real network.
If you find a good option I would like to know. The last good laptop I have personally used that worked great with open Indiana was my Lenovo T61p from 2008. I still have it and it works well though it is a bit dated and big. -- Sent from my Jelly Bean Galaxy Nexus Hans J.

However, I keep running into disappointments: The biggest one is the apparent scarcity of proper high-capacity GB wired ethernet. Also, if I'd like to run such a thing under some Illumos based OS, I'd have to think very carefully. I sort of liked the Dell XPS 13 Linux Developer's Edition; small, full HD screen, nice kbd, very thin and fairly large SSD disk. But, running it under OI151a7??? I think that might be a bit unlikely to succeed! So, what advice can people give me on this subject? The Dell XPS 13 is the right price range, around €1000. The size is very nice, the screen is VERY good.. So, there's a nice exterior target type, but what if I absolutely require to run OI and have a proper network connector, and PXE capacity?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ssh root login
Don't forget by default root is not a regular user account. Or at least it didn't used to be. You may need to issue the command to make root a full account before you can ssh to the root account. Also, depending on what you're doing, you might consider ssh to a regular user and then escalate via sudo or pfexex instead of ssh to the root user directly.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS; what the manuals don't say ...
Probably should use find -type f to limit to files and also cp -a to maintain
permissions and ownership. Not sure if the will maintain ACLs.
For the truly paranoid, dont delete the original file so early, rename it, move
the temp file back as the original filename, then compare md5 or sha checksums
to make sure they are the same, only deleting the original file if the two sums
match.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Namespace management and symlinks in /usr
I took a different approach to do something very similar. I used an env file where all the executable locations were defined and also built a few aliases. I then used uname to detect the os and source the appropriate file. Wrapped that in a single file something so my scripts started with . ~/bin/loadenvexes.sh and I was good to go. Worked well across sol/osol/oi, Mac, and several flavors of Linux. -- Sent from my Jelly Bean Galaxy Nexus Reginald Beardsley pulask...@yahoo.com wrote: --- On Wed, 10/17/12, Udo Grabowski (IMK) udo.grabow...@kit.edu wrote: From: Udo Grabowski (IMK) udo.grabow...@kit.edu Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Namespace management and symlinks in /usr To: Discussion list for OpenIndiana openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org Date: Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 10:11 AM On 17/10/2012 16:50, Reginald Beardsley wrote: In chasing the Firefox/Java issue, I happened to look at the symlinks in /usr.

Yes, it is painful to force people to fix their scripts, but in the end, indulging bad behavior just makes the problem worse. Having written scripts that ran cleanly across Ultrix, SunOS, AIX, HPUX, Irix and more I know it's not hard to do things w/o resorting to polluting the system namespace w/ bandaids. This is for people running heterogenous systems, like old Osol combined with new OI, or for people upgrading from Osol to OI for not having trouble with scripts after upgrade, and problems with configure setups for software (on solaris you usually have to patch configure scripts, and it's a pain to redo this on every upgrade). So having these symlinks is a good thing, and when these old systems gradually die away, people will adapt their scripts, but at least up to the next stable release of OI these links should be kept. As there's usually not much left in these legacy directories, they will quickly become a simple symlink to the default places. To paraphrase your response: These links are good because they keep people from having to fix badly written scripts. When there are more symlinks people will fix their scripts. It's been my observation that rather than fix the badly written scripts, they just write more badly written scripts and the problem gets worse rather than better. The following *really* isn't a lot of work the first time, and it's easy to fix when it does break. When I was writing scripts that needed to run across 6 distinct flavors of Unix, I had a boilerplate file I placed at the start of the scripts to handle all this stuff. Typically took about 10-15 minutes to update all the path information for a new platform and that was for a version control and build system I wrote. if [ -e /usr/sfw/bin/fubar ] then FUBAR=/usr/sfw/bin/fubar elif [ -e /usr/bin/fubar ] then FUBAR=/usr/bin/fubar else echo Can't find fubar exit fi As for ./configure, setting PATH properly will take care of most of those. The ones it won't fix generally can't be fixed.
