Definately worth using the RSM tray.

There's some F/W differential sbus cards on ebay now for under $10.

Also the reliability of the ones I have used in production in the past
& at home now has been excellent.  As I previously mentioned (I think),
it
is also nice to be able to locate the rather noisy array tray a fair
distance
away from your workstation. The 2 big fans in the back of the tray
keep the drives nice and cool.
Also be sure that your SCSI cable is compatible.

Hello Gurus,

Greetings !!

My question is :

 In my environment, i have 700 sun blade 150/100, all are binded to NIS.

One of my user wants to have the root access of the machine but also 
want the machine to be on the network. My all the clients machines are 
binded to the NIS slave servers and in my NIS master server i have also 
configure the securenets which has the entry of only NIS slave servers. 
Is there any way out, if i can make sure that client machine will be on 
the n/w but not binded to any of the NIS servers.


thanks in advance for your response.

regards
amit

I know a bit about NIS, but I don't really understand your question,
maybe you can rephrase in simpler sentence.
What's a securenets?
Do you want to remove one of the machine from NIS?
If you want to give a user root access, what's the problem of just
giving the root passwd of that particular machine to him?
How's the machine being in the network relates to the NIS? I think you
can just remove the machine from NIS, and configure everything using
local files and still able to access the network, or you can also
combine the  use of of local files and NIS.

Hello Marek,

df -k /dumpfiles

or to be sure

cd /dumpfiles
df -k .  (dot)

It should show what file system yor are in; it must be c0t9d0s0; if it
is
correctly mounted.

After saving the files, I mounted /dumpfiles, changed 'mount at boot' to

'yes' in /etc/vfstab, and copied the files back.

Thank you for your reply.

I would agree with Yazid. On 2 counts - I also know a Little about NIS.
Used it a lot in past
years but have not implemented it in at least 5 years.
However, UNLESS you have set the root password on ALL the machines to be
the same (big no-no), but in that case you need to change the root
password of JUST the
machine on which this user needs root.
Above all don't pass out the NIS root password.
Alternatively install sudo - that user can blow up his/her own machine
but cannot do anything
to any other box on which they do not have sudo privileges.
I'd need more info before I could really help you much. I am sure that
you know NIS enough to
know that when you look at the password file on the client machine the
user probably has no
account there. No account - no password unless you are using a
combination of
local accounts & passwords AND nis accounts and passwords (shudder).
but that each client box does have a root, sys, and so forth that are
local only to that box.
Are you using NIS or NIS+. (NIS being kind of a security no-no)
