I have posted a new version of the Trusted Extensions Zone Manager script which 
incorporates all of the functionality of the old Network Manager script, 
txnetmgr, as well some new features. The URL is still 
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/security/projects/tx/txzonemgr .

There is a new item, Manage Network Interfaces, in the first dialog. This 
provides additional dialogs to  create new logical interfaces, to assign 
trusted networking templates, and to share interfaces with all zones.

There are two new items to set the limit privileges for a zone. The fist item, 
Permit Relabeling, adds   the required privileges to permit file relabeling and 
multilevel drag and drop (in CDE). To restore  the limit privileges back to the 
default set, use the new item,Deny Relabeling. Both of these are only available 
when the zone is installed, but not halted.
 
There is a new item, Add Network..., that provides a dialog for adding 
additional interfaces to a zone. Again, the zone must be halted to use this 
option.

The Initialize item is no longer selectable. Instead, the initialize logic 
occurs automatically after the zone is installed. The script assigns the new 
zone the same nameservice configuration as the global zone. If the global zone 
is not an LDAP client, then the global zone passwd and shadow files are loopack 
mounted (read-only) into each zone to support ssh  which requires credentials 
that are not cached by nscd. This is not done for LDAP clients since the 
credentials are provided by the Directory Server from the labeled zone.

The new script also will also works with any label encodings file, but requires 
a recent version of the chk_encodings program to determine the maximum label in 
the encodings.  This is available in Nevada, but not yet in Solaris 10. To 
determine if you have the lastest version try
chk_encodings -X

The new versions of txzonemgr and chk_encodings should be in the next Solaris 
10 update and the next Solaris Express release.
