Gimpshop 2.2.4 Package -original post 4/1/05     27 October, 2005, 08:17 am
Thanks to Scott from Plasticbugs.com for this killer app. Here's a Solaris package for it:

http://solaris.andarazoroflove.org/packages/GIMPshop-2.2.4.sol10.sparc4u.gz

It's available in the package directory now too. It installs to /usr/local/gimpshop.

Enjoy!

Great info on init scripts -original post 2/9/05     27 October, 2005, 08:17 am
http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/standalone_proftpd.html

Has an example of setting up proftpd for use with an init scipt, precise and to the point. As a bonus, it works like magic too...lol.

I'm cutting and pasting it in UNMODIFIED form, so as to not lose it should that page dissappear. I'm also reading more up on init scripts, hopefully VNC will be my first one :)

1. Edit your ProFTPD configuration file.
vi /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf

2. Change the following line in the configuration file:
From: ServerType inetd
To: ServerType standalone

3. Make sure to prepend a "#" to comment out the "ftp" line in /etc/inetd.conf:
#ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/in.proftpd in.proftpd

4. Send the inetd process a HUP signal via kill -HUP `ps -ef | grep [i]netd | awk '{print $2}'` or similar command.

5. Create a ProFTPD startup/shutdown script in /etc/inetd.conf. Here is our /etc/init.d/proftpd script:

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
'start' )
/usr/local/sbin/proftpd
;;
'stop' )
kill `ps -ef | grep proftpd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'` > /dev/null 2>&1
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
esac

6. Create symbolic links to execute the ProFTPD script during system startup/shutdown. In our case, we will start ProFTPD in run level 3, and shut it down in run level 1.

ln -s /etc/init.d/proftpd /etc/rc3.d/S99proftpd
ln -s /etc/init.d/proftpd /etc/rc1.d/K99proftpd

7. Start ProFTPD in standalone mode.
/etc/init.d/proftpd start

Unlike KDE -original post 2/8/05     27 October, 2005, 08:16 am
Solaris Java Desktop System 3 (Gnome) can not be started simultaneously by the same user at the console and in a VNC session. I can (and could on Solaris 9 too) use KDE twice in 2 separate sessions, at the (K)Console and in VNC.

Trap 3E Error Strikes Again! -original post 2/5/05     27 October, 2005, 08:16 am
All was well and good, had the Trap 3e error all outted, but alas, it returned!

I found a fix, to edit a bit of the nvramrc, and run a tiny script at the boot. Openboot firmware is VERY friendly and powerful. Here's the fix, and a link to the original message:

There's a bug report that describes a similar problem with
IBM drives. The fix was to put something in NVRAMrc;

u10c(60)# eeprom nvramrc='probe-all install-console banner ? " Probing Ultra
SCSI controller to work around Trap 3e error" type cr ? " /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@
1" " show-children" execute-device-method drop'

u10c(61)# eeprom nvramrc

nvramrc=probe-all install-console banner
" Probing Ultra SCSI controller to work around Trap 3e error" type cr
" /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1" " show-children" execute-device-method drop

u10c(62) eeprom use-nvramrc\?
use-nvramrc?=false
u10c(63)# eeprom use-nvramrc\?=true


Substitute your own SCSI controller path for /pci@....

Spaces are significant!

Use "Stop-N" on boot when this doesn't work.

This solved the Trap 3e bother for me!
