Solaris 10 has several CLI utilities for encrypting an single file. Why ? mainly for standards and legacy reasons.Lets deal first with the older commands.crypt(1)Quoting from the man page: crypt implements a one-rotor machine designed along the lines of the German Enigma, but with a 256-element rotor. Methods of attack on such machines are widely known, thus crypt provides minimal security.It is still included in Solaris for compatibility with older releases. It can be...

On the heels of my appearance in The Inquirer, I've found myself in another web photo. At least from the other views I've seen of the photo being used on the front page of sun.com right now, I'm pretty sure that's my arm under the word "Safe" in the headline. Not as cool as seeing two of my co-workers, Jay and Jay, on the big cutout 10 they had in front of our campus for a few weeks and on the Solaris 10 media kit boxes (really big image), but still nice. (For those who don't...

It's all too easy to think of Microsoft as a faceless, inhuman "Evil Empire" when reading sites like Slashdot and Groklaw or even listening to some of the comments made in the past by people in Sun from the executives down to the rank-and-file. And even though I know how often we in Sun are amused by some of the wacky theories out there about what Sun is up to ("It's impossible to have a conspiracy of 30,000 people" is a response I've heard quoted a few times), it's not...

Just noticed the discussion and questions in the comments Alan Hargreave's blog about Solaris Express 2/05 - I started typing this in as a response there, but it got so long, I figured I'd just put it here and leave a trackback link there. Does the SPARC version of Solaris 10 get X.Org or does it still use XSun? Yes, SPARC is still on Xsun, since Xorg includes no driver modules for SPARC graphics cards. We're looking into various ways to solve this, but it will take some...

It's nice to see the Solaris blog community growing outside of Sun. It's even gotten to the point where analysts are paying attention to them. And while Planet Solaris has a nice collection of them, there's also interesting new ones popping up, like the new binarycrusader blog with tips for Solaris 10 users.

Catching up on RSS feeds on bloglines, I followed a link from amdzone.com to The Inquirer's LinuxWorld Boston photos, and was surprised to see a very familiar face staring back at me from a photo of the X.Org booth! I don't think this many people have been tortured by images of me since I appeared in the background of some clips used a couple of years ago in the KGO news feature piece on Isamu Shimegori, a Sun engineer with cerebal palsy. (They filmed parts of the piece in...

Rich Teer posted a detailed rebuttal to Jason Perlow's recent Linux Magazine attack on the CDDL. Unfortunately, it appears Mr. Perlow doesn't know much about the licenses already used by the software included in Linux distros from one of the quotes Rich highlights: Perhaps its just me, but does anyone else find it particularly obnoxious that Sun finds it completely acceptable to embrace GPL technologies like GNOME and Xfree86 in Solaris, while at the same time prevents...

I spent a lot of the LinuxWorld show in the X.Org booth, talking to people who stopped by to see what we were up to. From both my time and my conversations with the other booth volunteers, I think I can safely say these were the three most frequently asked questions: What am I seeing here? What are you demoing? What's X.Org? What's the difference between X.Org and XFree86? When will Debian include Xorg packages? For those who didn't get to stop by and ask in person, the...
