A couple people specifically suggested the Cygwin version of GNU tar. - a few people suggested that I use Samba. Then I could nfs mount the filesystem and copy the data. Someone suggested that if I have NT boxes at both sites I could install samba on the solaris machine; use ntbackup/networker on the nt machine in the remote site to backup the files; use ntbackup/networker on an nt machine on the local site to restore files and then copy the files to the solaris box afterwards . - Someone suggested using Winzip, or something similar, to create .zip files. Then, you could put this on tape, restore on the Solaris box, and extract it with unzip. - try the "dd" that comes from http://virtunix.itribe.net/mystuff.html. - A couple of people said that using Solstice Backup/Networker won't let you restore PC based backups to a Unix system. - One person told me not to do this because I'll lose the NT ACL's if you restore to a non-NTFS filesystem. They said that I could probably reset the permissions by hand if it's just a few files. Many of you wanted to know why I don't want to use ftp. My customer said the file sizes are very large, like 100gig. That'll take forever with ftp. Thank you all so much for your input!! Nicole --- Original Post ---- Hi, I know this may be somewhat offtopic, but I've been searching newsgroups all afternoon with very little success. We have to transfer large amounts of data from a remote NT machine to a Solaris machine. Since the files are large, ftp isn't an option. We're thinking about backing up the data from the NT machine to a DLT tape drive on the NT box, then restoring to the Solaris machine from a DLT on the Solaris machine. Has anyone done this successfully before? What software do you use? We were thinking about using Solstice Backup (and Networker on NT), but we don't want to have to scan the tape in before restoring the data. Thanks! Nicole Skyrca AppliedTheory Communications Inc.

There are a number of log files, web & app servers mostly, that I want to move back to a central location to perform analysis on. I am currently using a set of scripts to roll the logs and then move the via ftp and using a .netrc file, all being via cron jobs. The ftp user I use has no shell and can essentially only transfer files to and from his directories. I want a more secure way to do this preferably encrypting the entire transfer and not having any plain text passwords anywhere. I have thought about using ssh's (1.2.27 from ssh.fi is what I have everywhere) scp with an empty (no password) RSA authentication but that doesn't sit well either. I have also been playing with netcat (Conner McCleod's SUMMARY kind of sparc'd this) but I can't find a way to encrypt the channel or authenticate without having passwords laying around. All boxes are either 220's or Netra T1s running 2.7. So my question is: Is there a way to automate the transfer of files from multiple servers back to a single point. Not having any clear text passwords laying around over a preferably encrypted channel. Has anybody ever set something like this up? Or looked into it any way? Any pointers to anything? I haven't been able to find anything on the net regarding this.

The installation technique is a completely automated network jumpstart install. This is not the first time I have installed this client, and it has always worked in the past. I have confirmed that the /jumpstart share is shared, etc... I am using the "Building a Jumpstart Infrastructure" guide (http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0401/BuildInf.pdf) as an outline. Here is the error message: Searching for JumpStart directory... not found Warning: Could not find matching rule in rules.ok Press the return key for an interactive Solaris install program... (...) Solution: I got some responses, which advised me to verify that the /jumpstart directory was shared, that the rules.ok was properly generated by check, etc... The actual cause of the problem was a mismatch between the two machines netmasks. The jumpstart server was at ip 10.1.13.39 netmask ff000000 The client was at ip 10.1.13.243 netmask ffffff00 The only thing I don't understand is how the nfs traffic did not make it through, and the tftp, RARP did. -JohnF --__--__-- Message: 8 From: "O'Neal, Chris" <onealwc@AGEDWARDS.com> To: "'sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org'" <sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org> Cc: "O'Neal, Chris" <onealwc@AGEDWARDS.com> Subject: SUMMARY: How to auto-setup DISPLAY, TERM, and key codes for vi, v im, and g vim. Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 15:03:44 -0500 SYNOPSIS: Auto setting setenvs DISPLAY, TERM, and key codes can be done with some limited successes. Problems occur if you do not return to your original terminal before jumping off to another server. Auto-setting is done in .login for csh or .profile for sh. OS: Solaris 2.6, SunOS 4.1.4, MS-WinNT HARDWARE: Sparc, Intel SOFTWARE: Reflection-X, vi, vim, gvim. ORIGINAL QUESTION: How do I setup my unix environment so that keyboard input is correct for vi and command-line as I ssh, ftp or telnet from machine to machine? ORIGINAL PROBLEM: As I move around from system to system, my key code setup for my keyboard and environment vars DISPLAY and TERM are not self-setting like they once were. I get strange results from "vi" even after manual setting DISPLAY, TERM, and "stty erase ^H". Delete and arrow keys still do not work correctly in vi. ORIGINAL SUPPORTING DETAILS: This is probably a basic unix thing, but I have forgotten the answer. The company has moved all admins to a new work environment and I am encountering some frustrations with keyboard entry not being correct. Admins had been logging in via real NCD X-terminals to their main SunOS 4.1.4 servers and then ssh, ftp, or telnet their way around to different boxes as needed. With this, things worked great, environment vars such as DISPLAY and TERM were always self-setting and correct (DISPLAY was always "$xterminal:0.0" and TERM was either "xterm" or "vt125" depending on what was needed) as you jumped from machine to machine, you never had to set these or do any thing like "stty erase ^H" and everything worked. Now all the X-terminals have been replaced with MS-WinNT PC using Reflection-X software and a central Solaris 2.6 login-server has been installed. All logins goto this login-server and then from there you can login (jump) to "your boxes" (SunOS 4.1.4 types). As I jump from machine to machine, typically with ssh but sometimes with telnet and ftp, I am having to manually set my DISPLAY, TERM and enter "stty erase ^H" all over the place and still the interface between my keyboard and vi (vim and gvim too) does not work correctly (delete key does not delete and arrow keys work but move you to a line different from that displayed to you). I want to setup my personal environment so that I can return to the good old days when the settings for DISPLAY, TERM, and key codes were always correctly self-setting. How do I do this? ================================================= SOLUTION: I found a setting in my Reflection-X under Settings, Keyboard, Options, UNCHECK Backspace key sends delete. Sometimes I still get strange results in vi, vim, and gvim. I have not figured this out. Also, the display no longer returns to previous view when exiting vi like it did in SunOS 4.1.4, I guess that is a Solaris thing. I use csh and to have DISPLAY and TERM set I did the following in my .login file....... ### ### Try to set DISPLAY to IP address. ### setenv USER `/usr/ucb/whoami` setenv RLOGIN `/bin/who am i | /bin/awk '{if (NF > 5 ) {print (substr($6,2,length($6)-2))}}'` if ( "${RLOGIN}" != "" ) then if ( `echo "${RLOGIN}" | grep :` == "" ) then setenv DISPLAY ${RLOGIN}:0.0 else setenv DISPLAY ${RLOGIN} endif endif ### ### Try to set TERM to correct setting. ### setenv OSV `uname -r | awk -F. '{print $1}'` switch ( $OSV ) case 4: #SunOS setenv TERM xterm breaksw case 5: # Solaris setenv TERM dtterm breaksw defualt: # Unknown setenv TERM vt100 breaksw endsw stty erase ^H rows 25 echo "DISPLAY= $DISPLAY" echo "TERM= $TERM" Add the following to the bottom of your .cshrc..... ### ### Set-up a mutli-line prompt with hostname, login, path, and history number displayed. ### set USER=`whoami` set HOSTNAME=`uname -n` alias setprompt 'set prompt="\\ ${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:${cwd}\\ \! % "' alias cd 'chdir \!* && setprompt' setprompt # to set the initial prompt THANK YOU I would like to thank the following for their responses... - Moti Levy [mlevy@lannet.com] - Peter [fbsdq@yahoo.com] - Bryan Hodgson [bryan@verne.myxa.com] - Marcelino Mata [mmata@multiinc.com] Thx, Chris O'Neal email: onealwc@agedwards.com DATE: 05-15-2001 **************************************************************************** *********** WARNING: All e-mail sent to and from this address will be received or otherwise recorded by the A.G.
