Chris Gerhard wrote a post last week he called “X11 Forwarding 101” on using xauth to grant permissions to your X display when you su to root. I was all ready to write a response about how the complex steps he'd shown could be replaced by a simple, yet secure, command in Solaris 10 [1]: xhost +si:localuser:root but before I could, I got a mail from Casper asking why that feature wasn't working the same in Xsun as in Xorg. A few more e-mails exchanged and he had narrowed it...

This week's episode of ER, featuring James Woods as a patient with ALS, particularly caught my attention for two reasons: 1) The flashbacks illustrating how his condition worsened over the years provided a better illustration of ALS (better known in the US as “Lou Gehrig's Disease”) than I could remember seeing before. My grandmother died of ALS when I was only 2, so I don't remember much about it - my knowledge of ALS growing up was mainly knowing it was why my grandfather...

The original Sun logo was orange in colour rather than the now more common "blue" logo we see most of the time (yeah I know some people call that colour purple but to me it is blue and I have good colour perception). Seeing black on white or white on black is also pretty common.Last season Mclaren F1 had black as the background colour for the MP4-20 which gave us a white Sun logo on black wing mirrors.Mclaren just released some of the first pictures of the 2006 car the MP4-21...

Going: Richard Giles Sad to see Richard Giles leaving Sun. I got to meet Richard in person in 2000 when he came to the US Sun offices. At the time, he was one of the first people in the field to spend much time with the then-new Xinerama feature in Xsun, and he stopped by to talk to the engineering team. He also created an internal Xinerama FAQ that helped save us from having to re-answer commonly asked questions from early users and helped everyone keep track of the various...

The RBAC functionality in Solaris is normally used to empower usersbut it can also be used to restrict what commands they may run.It is possible to use RBAC to restrict access to the sshd(1m) subsystems.This is normally done to create a user who can use sftp but can not login.Since sshd(1m) starts the subsystems listed in sshd_config(4) using theusers login shell it isn't possible to restrict the user by giving thema bogus shell (eg /bin/false). However if the user is...
