Here are my notes on how to start Sun Java Enterprise System 5 after installation:
/opt/SUWNdsee/ds6/bin/dsadm start -i /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dsins1
/usr/lib/cacao/bin/cacaoadm start
/usr/sfw/bin/ant -f /opt/SUNWportal/lib/derby.xml start-instance -DPS_CONFIG=/etc/opt/SUNWportal/PSConfig.properties
/var/opt/SUNWwbsvr7/admin-server/bin/startserv
/var/opt/SUWNwbsvr7/https-<host_domain_name>/bin/startup
On a side note, I realized that I didn’t have enough disk space. So, I used this howto to add a new hard disk.
Special thanks to Raju U for the tip on derby startup command.

· Filed under Solaris 10, Sun, Technology, howto, telnet
Personally, I would not use telnet at all. Anyway, here is an extended HOW-TO that builds on top of what Laura V. has done. All the credit should really goes to her. I just added a few step before and one minor change on the second to the last step to complete the HOW-TO.
0. Download and burn the DVD ISO from here.
1. Copy the following two files to the target machine.
scp [DVDROM]/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot/usr/sbin/inetd [USER]@[HOST]:/usr/sbin/inetd.s9
scp [DVDROM]/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot/usr/sbin/in.telnetd [USER]@[HOST]:/usr/sbin/in.telnetd.s9
2. Disable telnet in Soaris 10
svcadm disable svc:/network/telnet
svcadm disable svc:/network/inetd
3. Create /etc/inetd.conf.s9 file with the following content:
telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.telnetd.s9 in.telnetd.s9
4. Start Solaris 9 version of telnet with the following command
/usr/sbin/inetd.s9 -s /etc/inetd.conf.s9
5. Double check if you can telnet from a different machine.

· Filed under OS, Open Source, Project R, Solaris 10, Technology, howto, localization
When I tried to compile R on Solaris 10 today, I noticed that R complained that it doesn’t support UTF locales. A check in the documentation showed that UTF-8 should be supported. A closer reading revealed that the example UTF encoding key is in lower case without dash “-”. i.e. “en_GB.utf8“. The default encoding key on the machine I am working on is “en_US.UTF-8“. So, I am not sure if using different capitalization and dash could be a potential cause.
Anyway, here is how I worked around the issue:
export LANG=en_US
export LC_ALL=en_US
export LC_MESSAGES=en_US
Please do let me know if I should do anything differently during configure time. Thanks.

If you don’t care about security and prefer to use only root account across all your machines, including on NFS shared file system, here is how you allow NFS clients root access on a NFS shared file system:
share -F nfs -o rw,root=host1:host2:host3 /nfs_share_dir
Note the root=access_list option defines which host has root access to this specific NFS share.

Special thanks to Greg N. for pointed out share_nfs man page.
