Setting up OpenSolaris 2009.06 – some hints

Some brief ideas:

1. Set up VNC using the built-in OpenSolaris VNC server. Tim Thomas blogs on how it’s done –> Simply edit nano /etc/x11/gdm/custom.conf. Then ensure that xvnc-inetd is spawned on startup: svcadm enable xvnc-inetd. Then respawn xvnc-inetd and gdm: svcadm disable xvnc-inetd gdm ; svcadm enable xvnc-inetd gdm

2. Set up CIFS file sharing with the built-in OpenSolaris CIFS server. Sun’s Developer Network has a recipe for Solaris 10 –> but OpenSolaris doesn’t have the kernel module pre-installed, so you have to go pkg install SUNWsmbskr ; pkg install SUNWsmbs. Once you have that installed, enable it, allow users to login and you’re done: svcadm enable -r smb/server ; echo “other password required pam_smb_passwd.so.1 nowarn” >> /etc/pam.conf
