Hi All, To everyone that is interested in seeing how Duckwater project has progressed, we have created binary deliverable (i386 and sparc) that contains a snapshot of the latest Duckwater development code.
We would love to get your feedback! The binaries, and all the other information you need to know is located here: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/duckwater/demo/ What will you find in the demo? - Enhanced 'standalone' ldaplist(1M) and ldapaddent(1M) tools. These updated tools now allow setup and management of an LDAP environment without first configuring a machine as LDAP naming client (Native LDAP Client). - New name services configuration tool - nscfg(1M) This is a new tool, similar to SMF's svccfg(1M). It configures naming services subsystem on OpenSolaris. It helps create SMF configurations for each back-end, and switch profiles (similar to /etc/nsswitch.conf) ,and associate profiles with appropriate back-end configurations. It can import your existing naming environment configuration or auto discover existing network naming environments using DHCP and DNS. - New name services administration tool - nsadm(1M) This tool is used for switching between any name service profile created with nscfg(1M). The purpose that you can create one or more profiles (for home, for work, nis, ldap ...), pre-verify [TBD] and then reconfigure the system with a single consistent command. nsadm takes care of updating the on disk configurations, enabling and disabling the necessary services, allowing you to switch naming configurations reliably without any reboot. We have more planned updates and binary drops in the works. If you're interested, please visit and check the pages for more updates coming soon. Have fun with the demo and please let us know what you think on the sparks-discuss discussion forum. Thanks, Duckwater team
