Hi, I need to configure a sendmail relay to guarantee that the first mail that comes in will be the first to go out. Can anyone advise if this is possible with sendmail, and how? It is ok for the rest of the mails to be delayed, if the first mail is deferred. Sequencing is more important than...

Hi All, I am a newbie to sendmail and need some help. Currently, connections to the sendmail (8.14.3) SMTP port is very slow. I have already set Ident Timeout to 0. My observation is that the slowness is due to sendmail performing a reverse/forward DNS lookup on the source IP of the...

Hi, I am new to sendmail. As I need starttls support for sendmail, I had compiled sendmail 8.14.3 with cyrus-sasl-2.1.22 on solaris 9 (instructions from various sources on the internet) The setup works but is very slow. I did a google and found a probable reason to be that sasl is...

Hi Annihilannic, Have not been checking this forum recently. Did not realise you have uploaded you script. Thanks a lot for your assistance. Eric

Hi All, Thanks for your replies. My management is quite concern with security so any freeware is out for me. I think I will force the user to log in using ksh instead of sh and adopt Annihilannic idea to do a tail of the histlog. I am totally new to perl...but well...guess this is a great...

Hi Olded, Thanks for your reply. We are using the Bourne shell. We are logging the commands issued as part of our security control, so the log file should only be modifiable by root. As such, the histfile method might not be good enough. Is there any other way we can achieve this? Thanks. Eric

Hi, I need to log all commands issued by a specific user from the time he logs into the server (either telnet or console) till he exits. I can think of 2 options but both did not really work: 1. Use BSM - But it is logging too much info and is difficult to comprehend. All that I need are the...

Hi Mike, Yes. My RBAC is working properly and I am able to run various commands with root privilege. ie "/usr/bin/ls" The issue now is I do not know which is the binary/shell script I should execute with UID=0 if I want to be able to perform "cd" with root privilege since /usr/bin/cd is not...

From Annihilannic's explanation, adding /usr/bin/cd to RBAC is useless. I like to be able to "cd" into any directory (including those inaccessible if based on basic ACL), so that I can do a "ls" of the local contents without having to type the full path of the directory. (I have no problem with...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies. I was down with fever these few days, so did not manage to read the forum. Hope you guys are still with me. Below are some more info on what I have accomplished thus far. Additional entries I have added to exec_attr: Additional...

Hi, I am implementing RBAC and need to create a role with "cd" privileges that is similar to root. The role should be able to cd into any directory, even if it does not have execute rights on the directory. I have added the following entries: exec_attr Additional...

Thanks for your help. This article is much better than the many that I found through google. =] Eric

Hi, I need to set up a solaris 9 NTP server that is client to another NTP server and at the same time provide a NTP service to clients on another subnet.(It has 2 NIC card) I am able to configure it to be a client but do not know how to configure it to serve to other servers. Can anyone help...

Hi, I need to reset/recover the directory manager account in Sun One Directory server. Can we reset it similar to the deleting the encrypted password in /etc/shadow? Can anyone help to point me to the correct file and entry to amend? If not, any advice? Thanks.

Hi dbase77, I understand that the generic FTP server do not the functionality. But I recall having seen it been done before. I think it is a combination of generic OS security permissions on the folders and selection of shell used. Any idea? Thanks. Eric
