Also, to execute this software keylogger, it would still have to go through normal mechanisms to automatically start every time you log in - .profile, .login or .cshrc, places where such things are very easily spottable. And how many people check .profile/,cshrc regularly to make sure nobody has modified these files? More likely, most existing users only look at these files very infrequently whenever the files are edited, so the fact that any hack is in plain view does not help you if you're not looking. Similarly for many people if an attack drops a compromised version of a system command in ~/bin. Hugh. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Re: Project Proposal: Fingerprint Authentication
Good fingerprint authentication is better than passwords in dare I say every way, EXCEPT for whe n you are a high profile target who might be stalked for finger access. The hordes of people out t here using simple passwords like password would be better protected with any biometric. palm-vein is better...chopping your hand off is not going to work...I hope anyway...but fingerprints...you might lose a finger or two :P Think about it: would you believe your password was secure if you wrote it on every door handle, every coffee cup, every keyboard you used? Now why do you think fingerprints are more secure? Casper ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Now why do you think fingerprints are more secure? I do not. That is why the whole business of a new pam_fingerprint and a new library_fingerprint when something already exists (bioapi and pam_bioapi) and that appears to be Solaris specific too (whereas bioapi is cross-platform and also already supported by devices that are very common laptop wise if you are really keen on fingerprint support) seems ludicrous to me. bioapi is supported by at least one palm-vein readers which are much more secure so if you ask me, getting bioapi in and then asking for Solaris bioapi drivers for devices from manufacturers looks like a much better proposition to me. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Re: Open Solaris HowTo on x86
If you are thinking that OpenSolaris is an installable OS have a look at http://opensolaris.org/os/about/ where it states: [i]The main difference between the OpenSolaris project and the Solaris Operating System is that the OpenSolaris project does not provide an end-user product or complete distribution. Instead it is an open source code base, build tools necessary for developing with the code, and an infrastructure for communicating and sharing related information. Support for the code will be provided by the community; Sun offers no formal support for the OpenSolaris product in either source or binary form.[/i] This could change if the Indiana Project rolls out; see https://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=31802tstart=0 But you probably want to get started now! For Solaris 10 documentation see: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/solaris.10 If you want something more bleeding edge you might want Solaris Express Developer Edition which you can get at http://developers.sun.com/sxde/ and the documentation at http://developers.sun.com/sxde/doc.jsp There are other non-Sun OpenSolaris distributions as well!

[osol-discuss] Re: [perf-discuss] cpu performance counters obtained by vmstat and prstat look conflict
Hi, Jean Thank you for your explaination and your helpful advices :) It seems you're right. After reading your guess, it reminded me that something I've read from a book, Solairs Performance and Tools, and the author talked about the decaying problem in this book. 2007/6/18, Jean-Francois Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi I don't know enough about the specifics for Open Solaris so the following is based on the guess that it is the same as regular Solaris (the fact that your vmstat r queue is at values like 7 and that idle CPU is at 0% but prstat shows only about 4% CPU makes this feel like a good guess) . Historically, Solaris used the pcpu parameter to display CPU against individual processes in prstat (or as part of ps -ef with the -o option). As pcpu is based on a slowly decaying average (equivalent to exponential weighting over the last minute) it deals poorly with processes with short lives such as the one you have (your example from your snap shot below shows that the CPU times are all very low - suggesting processes which don't stay up for long). Typically, changing the prstat refresh time doesn't change anything because the %cpu it is displaying remains the decaying average over the last minute. Alternatives could be prstat with the -m option if it is supported. The TOP tool yes, -m option works partially. It shows the whole system's user and system CPU percentage correctly, but to each process, they all look idle as well, and no short lives are displayed either. changed how it calculates per process CPU% for Solaris (it stopped displaying the pcpu parameter and started to calculate %cpu based on the increases in cpu time) as of version 3.6, so you might want to give that a try. Because TOP calculates CPU% of the processes based on CPU time, going to a shorter refresh rate actually does help to improve accuracy for short processes... but it can't go below 1 second. Many short lived processes live less than one second. I don't know TOP doesn't work correctly, it ignores all the short lives as well as the prstat. But the whole system's user and system CPU percentage are correct in TOP. Dtrace that well but look forward to having a good tools to deal with this type of situation. Yes, DTrace works!

[osol-discuss] Problem with SAMBA

Re: [osol-discuss] Problem with SAMBA
I believe samba is controlled as a service now. Try this to see if it is running: # svcs samba Start and stop it like this: # svcadm enable|disable samba The config file is in /etc/sfw/ and the binary (should you need it) is in /usr/sfw/sbin/ although it is probably best to run it with svcadm. - Chris On 6/18/07, Alberto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi. i have installated Solaris Express Build 65 but i don't find where a have to start samba. in the over build i use /etc/init.d/samba start in this? thanks This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org -- Christopher Gibbs Email / LDAP Administrator Web Integration Programming Abilene Christian University ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] Re: Problem with SAMBA
Solaris 10 and upwards use a new Service Management Framework (SMF) in preference to the traditional raft of init scripts. The 2 steps I used to get Samba working on Solaris Nevada: 1. Create /etc/sfw/smb.conf , perhaps based on /etc/sfw/smb.conf-example which Sun helpfully provide. 2. Start the Samba SMF service: svcadm enable samba. You can then verify that Samba is running OK using svcs samba. You'll find the Samba binaries under /usr/sfw, which isn't in the default path. :-( More info on SMF at http://opensolaris.org/os/project/smf-doc/smf-dev/smf-book.html and of course the man pages for svcs and svcadm.

Re: [osol-discuss] Re: Project Proposal: Fingerprint Authentication
MC wrote: ... You can't dictionary brute force a fingerprint remotely, and you can't forget your finger :) Good fingerprint authentication is better than passwords in dare I say every way, EXCEPT for when you are a high profile target who might be stalked for finger access. The hordes of people out there using simple passwords like password would be better protected with any biometric. I disagree. Depending on the strength of the fingerprint device, the quality of the fingerprint scan may be quite low. In some cases, there have been fingerprint authentication devices for PCs that have been fooled by very simple methods of copying the fingerprint. The fingerprint alone should never be enough to log you in, despite what they show on movies. The same is true for tokens that require PINs rather than just the device themselves. Ideally fingerprint'ing should only stand in place of entering in your username - ie identifying you - and still require a password. This falls in line with its use by law enforcement agencies: to help them identify people who were possibly present. Darren ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] Re: Suggestion: PCFS Open Development Project
Hi; Just thought I'd mention ... There is a Google SoC project that is doing basically the same for FreeBSD. I am no fs expert but I did look up some insteresting stuff for them. An old but rather nice reference for a FAT on UNIX implementation is this: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/mach/public/www/doc/abstracts/dos-fs.html They suggest some interesting extensions, but of course the FAT32 spec, that you already have, is key. Another interesting thing to do is to add Extended Attributes: http://www.tavi.co.uk/os2pages/eadata.html IBM has a patent over those EAs, but you still probably want to have fsck respect them. Finally, it would be really nice to have a defrag utility ported .. I think FreeDOS has one. So yes.. there are a lot of interesting things to do on pcfs :). Pedro.

You need to add the following line to your environment file: __SSNEXT= See usr/src/Makefile.master line 111 for details. The error was caused by a change in the accepted compiler option for specifying address mode. With Studio 12 only -xmodel=kernel is accepted, while with previous versions of the compiler both -Wu,-xmodel=kernel and -xmodel=kernel were accepted (even though we should have been using -xmodel=kernel all along).

[osol-discuss] Qt 4.3 on SXDE!
Hi everyone, I was able to compile qt 4.3 on my SXDE box at. For those who are interested (or those who are into qt programming, but are solaris newbies like me , read on :-) ) 1) Install the JDS CBE (Java Desktop System Common Build Enviroment) JDS CBE is small, it's installation is easy. http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/contributing/building/;jsessionid=E77AD0746A96B028467460AAC38E8A93#jds-cbe 2) Get qt 4.3 and SunStudio 12 3) Source /opt/jdsbld/env.sh 4) a simple ./configure , make , make install is all you need to do! One question: now that i have compiled qt with suncc (ss12) , can i use gcc to compile applications that link to the sun-cc compiled qt? I ask this cause this would greatly simplify going after KDE4 dependencies Thanks Manish PS: I'll start going after KDE4 dependencies now. begin:vcard fn:Manish Chakravarty n:Chakravarty;Manish org:SpikeSource Inc;Solution Engineering adr:;;;Bangalore;Karnataka;56008;India email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Associate Software Developer tel;work:+91-8041810800 tel;fax:+91-8041810800 tel;pager:+91-9901030104 tel;home:+91-9901030104 tel;cell:+91-9901030104 x-mozilla-html:TRUE url:http://manish-chaks.livejournal.com version:2.1 end:vcard signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
