[01:29]<nd0zd>booting solaris 10/6 off the mighty 2x CDROM
[01:40]<zjjvraanss>hehehe
[01:40]<zjjvraanss>done yet?
[03:04]<ddzczzvnzc>are there any reccommendations for a solaris pc?
[03:04]<lnnzan>i rather like the Sun v240 I just setup.
[03:04]<lnnzan>er, v210, sorry.
[03:04]<zjjvraanss>just check the HCL
[03:05]<zjjvraanss>although Dell has worked good for me (pc = x86 i assume
[03:05]<zjjvraanss>)
[03:05]<ddzczzvnzc>rootaccess: in this case, yes
[03:06]<ddzczzvnzc>I don't think I can afford a decent sparc - though I might check out the local reseller
[03:07]<zjjvraanss>check ebay for savings -- I got a T3 73GBx9 for $150 :-D
[03:08]<ddzczzvnzc>rootaccess: the shipping and tax may not be worth it - I'm in iceland
[03:14]<nxnnnnnj>d
[03:30]<svjzdd>is 450mhz the fastest a 420r can take?
[03:32]<svjzdd>rodrickbrown could you tell me please if a 420r can take a faster processor than 450 mhz
[03:32]<zjmzyac2zjwg>no
[03:33]<svjzdd>thanks
[03:36]<aj_z0>I can
[03:41]<svjzdd>does anyone have any complaints about 420r's?
[03:45]<svjzdd>or should i just go with an e4k chassis?
[03:47]<xyfn_>Stormy: the goddamn memory riser!
[03:58]<zjjvraanss>420's are sweet
[03:58]<zjjvraanss>just dont pull the proc. tray!
[03:58]<zjjvraanss>hehe
[03:59]<zjjvraanss>Story: ^^^
[04:00]<zjjvraanss>I hate Sun backplane pin design
[04:00]<zjjvraanss>its ment to break IMHO
[04:02]<xyfn_>I have only ever seen problems on the 420R/U80
[04:08]<rrmnsm>hile_, well if your a sysadmin, the box is either working and your ignoring it.. or they are bitching at you to fix it...
[04:08]<rrmnsm>its not like they are going to give a sysadmin a u80 for your desk
[04:21]<2nac>hello
[04:21]<2nac>is there any way to modify the tcp stack or do something with IPF to change the os fingerprint when scanned ?
[04:21]<2nac>in solaris
[04:21]<2nac>like PF in freebsd/openbsd
[04:22]<wdf2uzd>heh would be great to make pf streams friendly
[04:22]<mnfnwys>beck: not that I know of.
[04:22]<mnfnwys>that's a pf feature, rather than ipfilter
[04:22]<wdf2uzd>asked Max Leier quite while ago, he don't plan
[04:23]<lnnzan>so you want to hack the ip sequencing algorithms used by solaris? what possible good could come of that?
[04:23]<2nac>does anybody know a hack or something i can do for that?
[04:23]<lnnzan>sure, get opensolaris, and rewrite the IP packet sequence algorithm.
[04:23]<mnfnwys>security by obscurity.
[04:23]<wdf2uzd>beck: send money to pf's author and he can prolly port it to solaris
[04:23]<2nac>haha
[04:24]<lnnzan>delewis; yeah, my feelings exactly.
[04:24]<2nac>well , i would try but the thing is my solaris box is in a remote host (im renting)
[04:24]<lnnzan>this lock sucks, so we'll use 18 of them, and hide the keyholes!!
[04:24]<2nac>so , if something goes bad , ill need to pay
[04:24]<dzvzsvznzd>Morning all
[04:24]<mnfnwys>if anything, the leet kiddies that scan you should be impressed by your usage of Solaris.
[04:24]<lnnzan>beck; believe me, messing with fingerprinting INCREASES the likelihood of osmething going 'bad'.
[04:25]<mnfnwys>or rather, lulled into a false sense that its insecure and waste countless hours trying to crack you.
[04:31]<avuznc>oi
[04:31]<avuznc>how is everybody doing
[04:32]<aj_z0>We were fine until you cam in here with your stupid question
[04:34]<2nac>another question...
[04:34]<2nac>if i didnt set the domainname when installing
[04:34]<2nac>where can i put the domainname if now i know which is gonna have
[04:35]<mnfnwys> /etc/hostname.<interface>
[04:35]<nrvxrd>lol
[04:35]<mnfnwys>and modify /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes
[04:35]<2nac>the domainname of a zone
[04:45]<avuznc>So I just got a new T2000. How do i upgrade to the latest version of s10 (6/06?)
[04:45]<guyfv>Install it?
[04:45]<guyfv>if it has Solaris 8 or above, you can use the upgrade option
[04:46]<nrvxrd>its not the same to apply patches?
[04:46]<avuznc>Guilt: how do i find out what level my Solaris10 is at
[04:46]<guyfv>oh
[04:46]<dzvzsvznzd> cat /etc/release
[04:46]<guyfv>well, 6/06 has new things, like ZFS 1.0
[04:47]<guyfv>not sure if just patches might do the job.
[04:47]<guyfv>you can give it a shot though
[04:47]<nrvxrd>i guess, well reinstall the all the OS to just update, i dont know, its a waste of time
[04:48]<avuznc> Solaris 10 1/06 s10s_u1wos_19a SPARC
[04:48]<dzvzsvznzd>on my X4200 it took 40 mins to install sol 10 06/06 *the actual install, not the questions bit) so i guess it will be more or less the same with the T200
[04:48]<avuznc>see, my server is colocated... so i can't just go over and put a cd in the drive
[04:49]<dzvzsvznzd>so it wont take long
[04:49]<nrvxrd>DataStream, yes, but its a little bit risky, dont?
[04:49]<dzvzsvznzd>whats risky?
[04:50]<dzvzsvznzd>if there is nothing on there you want to keep, what does it matter
[04:50]<nrvxrd>let me find the right word
[04:50]<nrvxrd>the config, stuff like that
[04:50]<nrvxrd>databases i dont know
[04:50]<dzvzsvznzd>but as he just said hes on a co-lo, dvd isnt gonna work anyway
[04:50]<rrmnsm>DataStream, given the install is pretty much limited to 1-2 threads and the t2000 is only 1.0-1.2 ghz.. i'm guessing it will be slower...
[04:51]<avuznc>probably not as simple as apt-get update && dist-upgrade :)
[04:51]<dzvzsvznzd>mabey, i dont think m=by too much though
[04:52]<nrvxrd>or portupgrade -aRr
[04:52]<dzvzsvznzd>although im just rembering, that the sparc iso is larger then the x86 one
[04:52]<avuznc>either way, the developers are requiring me to upgrade to 6/06.. some new features i gather
[04:52]<dzvzsvznzd>jturek: then upgrade
[04:52]<avuznc>heh
[04:53]<avuznc>i tried the update patch thing, but that didn't get me up to 6/06
[04:53]<dzvzsvznzd>live-upgrade is pretty cool
[04:53]<avuznc>oh? how does that work
[04:54]<dzvzsvznzd>i havent done it myself (its on my list) but from what i gather, it creates a whole new OS image on your HD, then you boot from it
[04:54]<dzvzsvznzd>so no downtime
[04:54]<dzvzsvznzd>check out the docs
