I finally got Samba working! -original post 11/13/05
27 October, 2005, 08:07 am
Ok, this is a beauty. I've never on any *nix been able to get Samba to work correctly from scratch. Sure in Mandrake and Caldera, they worked out of the box, but Fedora and Debian (the only L-*nixs i use) were always bust for me :(
I'm happy my first WORKING Samba install (makes me sound like a total newb, tho I've been tinkering for years :( ) is on SOLARIS!
I had a bit of help, used the SunFreeWare.com packages of Samba, ncurses, etc. They install in /usr/local/samba but do NOT contain the /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf, you've got to make one. You can either check the samba.org docs and copy/paste one, or use SWAT to make one. I used SWAT via Webmin.
There is an excellent tutorial on adding the inetd.conf goodies you need to have Samba start up automatically and building an smb.conf from scratch here:

Also, a good thing to note is that unlike Linux, Solaris doesn't use killall to restart processes. There is a command called pkill and restarting inetd is as easy as:
pkill -HUP inetd

24bit Color in Solaris -original post 11/17/04
27 October, 2005, 08:07 am
Ok, I've got 24bit Framebuffers. 2 of them. A Creator 3D in my Ultra and the rare 8mb 24bit SX in my SS20. How is it then that Solaris 9 cant recognize and initialize them in 24bit color out of the box? Well theres something to do with application compatibility and yadda yadda, but 8bit looks TERRIBLE!
So heres the trick to make Solaris run in all its glorious 24 bits!
Make the directory /etc/dt/config
Copy /usr/dt/config/Xservers to /etc/dt/config/Xservers
edit the new copy and add the following to the end of the VERY last line (the one that starts with :0) -dev /dev/fb0 defclass TrueColor defdepth 24
It'll look something like so:
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner -dev /dev/fb0 defclass TrueColor defdepth 24
then reboot that puppy and enjoy your 24bit color! Needless to say, this isn't going to work unless you have a 24bit compatible framebuffer.

GProFTPd Package -original post 10/29/04
27 October, 2005, 08:06 am
http://solaris.andarazoroflove.org/packages/gproftpd-8.1.7-sol9-usr.gz
You'll have to cut and paste the URLs for my packages, this blogger doesnt understand HTML yet...
Here we have GProFTPd, a graphical frontend for the ever popular ProFTPd. This is version 8.1.7.
Built using GCC 3.4.1 on Solaris 9 SPARC. This is a 32bit Package and it installs in /usr. It was packaged using the make_package script from Sunfreeware.com.
This was a program that required a bit of tweaking to compile. Solaris does not include the stdint.h header, and as far as I could find, there isnt one available. To that end, I had to modify the src/gprostats.c to include the correct Solaris header, sys/int_types.h. This allowed me to compile, and the program runs beautifully.

libIDL package -original post 10/29/04

http://solaris.andarazoroflove.org/packages/libIDL-0.6.8-sol9-local.gz
This is the libIDL Compiling Library, version 0.6.8. This was a required dependancy for Firefox, and I installed it because I'm trying to compile Firefox RC1 for myself. So far no luck, but if I get it, it'll be posted here :)
This was compiled using GCC 3.4.1 on Solaris 9 SPARC, and installs in /usr/local.
More info for this library can be found here:

I am trying out a new attachment mod to the blogger, so you can download directly from the button below! I am also working on getting Directory Listing available for the packages directory.
