Today I came across 3 short screencasts by Christoph Schuba on various security related features in OpenSolaris: Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Cryptographic Framework Process Rights Management Christoph's a senior engineer on the Solaris security team and a frequent presenter on the topic of OpenSolaris security at conferences. Each screencast is under 5 minutes. Enjoy.

If your favorite piece of open source software isn't available for OpenSolaris, there's a fairly new tool called SourceJuicer to help you get it there. In my very limited experience with the tool, the key to a successful build is the spec file. In Josh Simons' latest blog entry, SourceJuicer: How to contribute a package to OpenSolaris, he gives a very in depth description of each line of the file. He then walks you though his experience of submitting ploticus, a tool for...

One thing's that not immediately apparent when using OpenSolaris crypto functions is where are the crypto libraries?The OpenSolaris Cryptographic Framework API is based on thePKCS#11 industry standard from RSA Laboratories.However, the PKCS#11 crypto libraries aren't shown by ldd(1M), which lists dynamic libraries used in executables. For example, lets look at encrypt(1M):$ ldd /usr/bin/encryptlibc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2Ldd only lists the C and math...

If you are a developer in China you can now get access to a complete OpenSolaris desktop. Anyone who is interested can register an account at Unix-Center.Net. After your account is activated, you can login to the server either via SSH or VNC. Every user gets their own home directory and 100 MB of storage space.

The installation of a zone in OpenSolaris is a bit different than in Solaris 10 (or SXCE) and it's due to IPS, which is unique to OpenSolaris. When you create a zone in Solaris 10, you get a native zone, which is very lightweight because it shares much of its system software with the base Solaris 10 installation. However, native zones presume you are using the SVR4 packing system (as opposed to IPS). Therefore, OpenSolaris uses a branded zone called ipkg. The ipkg branded...
