global linux perms change

 Wholescale ownership change  
 So you need to change the gid on all files owned by user. Do the following as root:  
 find / -uid 1500 -gid 100 -exec chown 15038:101 {} \;  
 A breakdown is as follows:  
 find / -uid 1500 -gid 100 -exec chown 1500:101 {} \;  
 ^  ^   ^    ^    ^

 |  |   |    |    |   
 |  |   |    |    |  
 |  |   |    |    do this chown userid:new group {all files found}  
 |  |   |    |  
 |  |   |    user's primary group

 really?  
 # mv /usr/java /usr/java.orig  
 # ln -s /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_30 /usr/java  

yeah. so, jdk1.6 is a no go.

clearcase note

 1  
 From my past installations on Solaris, you have to:  
 install it on global zone (for the mvfs part to install properly and be available for all the ngz)  
 install it on the non-global zones you need ClearCase  
 ClearCase won't be able to access all the paths it needs during the installation in an ngz, hence the first install on global zone.  
 See, for instance for CC8.0: "Installing Rational ClearCase to support non-global zones."  
 Install and configure Rational ClearCase on the global zone before you install and configure it on any non-global zones.  
 If you plan to run dynamic views on a non-global zone, the MVFS must be installed on the global zone on that computer. Specifically, this means that you cannot choose the ClearCase Server-only Installation option when installing Rational ClearCase on the global zone.  
 I never experienced a lack of performance because of being in an ngz, provided you reserve the appropriate quantity of resource (disk, memory) to each ngz.  
 I never used ClearCase in a global zone only, since I needed to start/stop ClearCase in each ngz independently. Hence my requirement for having CC in ngz, not just in global zone.  

sol 8 nis client tasks

 Edit /etc/hosts to include entries for the NIS master and all slaves.  
 # domainname yourdomain  
 # domainname > /etc/defaultdomain  
 # ypinit -c  
 Add the following hosts:  
 nis_master  
 nis_slave  
 nis_other_slave  
 nis_master-a   (other interface, if available)  
 nis_slave-a   (other interface, if available)  
 nis_other_slave-a   (other interface, if available)  
 If one of the NIS slave servers is closer on the network , add it first in the list, then the next closest (slave or master), etc.  
 Start NIS  
 # cp /etc/nsswitch.nis /etc/nsswitch.conf   (edit the original /etc/nsswitch.nis beforehand as described earlier)  
 # /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart   (normally called from /etc/init.d/rcp)  
 # ypwhich should return  
 nis_master  
 Also the following commands:  
 # ypcat hosts  
 # ypcat passwd  
 should return lots of relevant data.  

clear that arp cache

arp that arp cache. oh yes.

 #!/bin/sh  
 for i in `awk -F ' ' '{ if ( $1 ~ /[0-9{1,3}].[0-9{1,3}].[0-9{1,3}].[0-9{1,3}]/ ) print $1 }' /proc/net/arp` ; do arp -d $i ; done  

axfr and bind9 acls

okay chump.

root@captainwalker # dig thunderdome.com @blaster axfr

barfs? captainwalker is your axfr host. did you check this:

 Master (blaster) :  
    acl "captainwalker" {  
         10.10.10.12;  
     };  
     zone "thunderdome.com" IN {  
         type master;  
         file "db.thunderdome.com";  
         notify yes;  
         allow-update { none; };  
         allow-query { any; };  
         allow-transfer { captainwalker; };  
     };  
 Slave (captainwalker) :  
     zone "thunderdome.com" IN {  
         type slave;  
         masters { blaster; };  
         file "db.thunderdome.com";  
         notify no;  
         allow-query { any; };  
         allow-transfer { none; };  
     };
