Dear Summary Repo man:
I am overdue for the several summaries.
Please accept the following infromation (albeit short) as payment.
[Not: My original questions are attached]
o RE: Solaris<->Linux NFS over 64K Leased Line
I received only one response. Robson, Ken" <robsonk@ebrd.com>
Who suggested that one has to authorise each client individually,
as opposed to via a subnet desription.
I decided that it was a name resolution problem
(even allowing only one host did not work), although my
interpretation of man page is that allowing address ranges
using rw=@129.144.132/17 is valid syntax.
o RE: PatchReport -A -r -L patchlist
I received no responses.
For those who asked me about where to get it:
PatchReport is a perl script written by Joe Shamblin
Information/source code is here:
ftp://x86.cs.duke.edu/pub/PatchReport/index.html
Being a perl script, I had to obtain/install various perl
modules in order to get it all working.
(URI HTML HTTP WWW LWP File Bundle MD5 Net MIME Digest)
o RE: Y2000 Plan
I received several responses.
Using their inputs, I successfully updated my E450 system
with all Recommended/Y2000/Security patches. I also ran
several date-related tests and verify that all my software
and services still work after Dec 31, 1999.
I promise to write up a full-payment summary for Y2000 Plan
as soon as I'm back from vacation ;) on the 10th of September.

I need to allow a small group of Linux clients, connected via a
64K leased line, access to an NFS directory on my Solaris server.
Although I am expecting bandwidth problems I thought that the
commands shown below should work, right?
o Solaris Server:
[root@server] grep home /etc/dfs/dfstab
share -F nfs -o nosuid,rw=@192.55.89/24 -d "Home Dirs" /home/server
[root@server] shareall -F nfs
[root@server] showmount -e |grep home
/home/server @192.55.89/24
o Linux Client:
[root@client] grep home /etc/fstab
server:/home/server /home/server nfs soft,bg,wsize=8192,rsize=8192
[root@client] ifconfig eth0 |grep inet
inet addr:192.55.89.74 Bcast:192.55.89.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
When I mount the directory from a Linux client no errors are reported
but I get these errorson the server:
Aug 13 17:21:49 server mountd[556]: MOUNT: (anon) mounted /test
Aug 13 17:21:49 server mountd[556]: 192.55.89.74.0.0 denied access to
/test
When I try to access the directory I get these errors on the client:
Aug 13 17:31:55 client kernel: call_verify: server requires stronger
authentication.
Aug 13 17:31:55 client kernel: call_verify: unknown auth error: 5

Before I install the relevant Y2000 Patches on my server (2.6 E450)
I'd like to do a trial-install and then run a few tests just to make
sure the most important services/work-flows still work, can be=20
accomplished.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The machine:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Sun E450, Solaris 2.6 Server 5/98 German,
o 1GB RAM, 2 x UltraSPARC-II 300 MHz,
o 16 x 4.5 GB Drives:
/dev/md/dsk/d1 673759 147646 465475 25% /
/dev/md/dsk/d2 308695 267376 10450 97% /usr
/dev/md/dsk/d4 482023 170023 263798 40% /var
/dev/md/dsk/d5 1220975 949222 210705 82% /opt
[the rest are all data drives]
o Legato Networker 5.1 Client
o DNS Server bind 4.9.4.p1
o Sendmail 8.8.8
o CVS Server 1.10
o gcc version 2.3.3 as a cross-compiler gcc68k
=20
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=20
The plan:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Create a copy of the System Disk (with / /usr /var /opt/nsr)
2. Shutdown ; remove all disks ; boot from copy of System Disk
3. Install all relevant Y2000 patches
4. Set Clock to: Fri Dec 31 23:55 MET DST 1999 (date 12312355)
5. Shutdown ; wait a few minutes
6. Bootup into Sat Jan 1 00:04 2000
7. Test named: push/pull zone files
8. Test cvs/gcc: Build a test release
9. Test Networker: Recover a bunch of files
10. Test sendmail: Send some mail
Assuming everything goes well:
11. Shutdown the system and save the tested System Disk for
full disaster recovery
12. Re-insert the orignal System and all Data disks
13. Install all relevant Y2000 patches
14. Reboot the system
15. Request vacation for the first week of Janury 2000.
Does anybody forsee any problems with this plan?
Also, any tips/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I also have a SunOS 4.1.3 machine (a 670MP) that I don't relly
want to fiddle with. Can anyone tell me what exactly will break
on this machine if I don't upgrade to 4.1.4 + Y2000 Patches?
Assuming my E450 doesn't catch on fire in the process
I will summarize the results of my trial-install :o

attached mail follows:
Can i get PatchReport version 2.18 to just download
specific patches (defined on per line in a file)?
Looks like the -r and -L options but when i do a
PatchReport -A -r -p /usr/local/html/patches -L sunos.list
It downloads all the patches needed for the system executing
the PatchReport command.
