Q. I’ve just installed Solaris 9 on one of our test bed machines to experiment with it. I really like a number of the new features, including the integrated tcp_wrappers functionality for /etc/inetd.conf. I think I’ve misconfigured something, though, because instead of logging the service, it always logs the blocked process as inetd:
Aug 15 11:09:29 my.host.domain inetd[11156]: refused connect from localhost
The above example should be logged as telnetd, not inetd. What
am I doing wrong? Did I miss some flag to inetd?
A. This is a known bug with Solaris 9’s implementation of tcp_wrappers. It’s been logged under bugid 4711482. I hope there will be a patch out soon that will change the log messages to show the actual calling program.
Q. I’ve just upgraded to Solaris 9 and installed OSA Raid Manager 6.22,REV=01.14. We’ve migrated an A1000 array from an old machine and are now getting errors in the log file on the new machine:
Aug 27 12:05:32 colossus /usr/lib/osa/bin/nvutil: [ID 187284 user.error]
The controller firmware version for controller c2t5d0
(module: colossus_001) is 2.05.02. The recommended firmware version
for this application is 3.00.00 or higher.
What patches do I need to fix this? I installed all of the recommended ones
and security ones already, but that doesn’t seem to help.
A. You need to upgrade the firmware on the A1000, not install OS patches to fix this problem (though you may also need OS patches for the version of OSA Raid Manager that you’re using; see the release notes). See page 121 (Appendix A) of http://docs.sun.com/doc/805-7756-10 for information on upgrading your controller firmware. Because you’re back at 2.05.02, you first need to upgrade to 2.5.6.32 and then to the latest revision for the firmware.
