Happy people, once again hope you are all ok. Now, am running Solaris 10(+OEM) on a pc workstation with plans to use it as a server(jus not yet). Thing is the machine had a small partition with OpenSUSE 11 installed which naturally 'disappeared' after the Sun installation. Unfortunately when i tried to mount and even force mount, it failed miserably with this error message 'hal-fixed-all-mount-options refused-uuuid 999'. Help needed here, am using the command line a lot so all manner of help appreciated. Two, i need to use 'ssh' and probably ftp for remote users in a Sol10 server environment. Which works best, more efficient and user friendly? Thanks and God bless y'all. -- People should know when they are conquered.

Kennedy, What is it that you are trying to achieve, if I may ask, considering that you are trying it out with OpenSUSE, Solaris and FreeBSD? What sort of server are you trying to setup? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Thanks for the concern Wash. Several threads down, you will find an unreplied thread on IMS Networks. Thats what am trying to achieve. The nodes of this type of network like the CSCF & HSS requires an extremely stable and scalable server OS (Sol10). On the other hand the apps that make use of this network i can only develop on an enhanced IMS customized platform - SDS. This means i run VMware or something of the sort and possibly deploy non Mission critical nodes. App dev sio shida. Shida ni server deployment. The FreeBSD is simply for comparison purposes.Thanks and God bless. On 7/9/09, Odhiambo ワシントン <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:

Errr, did I really understand? :-) CSCF, HSS, IMS, SDS...... What makes Sol10 "extremely stable and scalable" more than any Linux or even FreeBSD? If I were to provide you with a solution, I'd say I still haven't understood your requirements. Please try again. Make it simple to understand. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

@Wash, thanks! I was wondering how to ask what the hell IMS, CSCF, HSS and SDS are! Wait a sec, I still don't know, damn! 2009/7/10 Odhiambo ワシントン <odhiambo@gmail.com>

Happy people, sorry for not being very clear. IMS- IP Multimedia Subsystem (refer to 3GPP2 proposed network architecture), HSS - Home Subscriber Service, SDS- the Ericsson Service Development Studio, CSCF- Call Session Control Function. IMS also has a DNS server. Its a very elaborate topic, it would take me a whole while explaining this. For purposes of this thread, it won't be fair. The critical IMS nodes are the HSS, DNS, CSCF(P,I&S). Basically it is SIP(Session Initiation Protocol) business. I tend to think Aki is well versed on this. For my choice of Sol10, its purely random. For implementation purposes, has never been tried before i.e. emulating an IMS network. Thank y'all n God bless. On 7/10/09, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Guys, Could it have something to do with the file system? I know Sun Solaris uses UFS while SUSE Linux prefers ReiserFS. Shooting wild here guys.

What filesystem do you have on the Linux partition? ext2? ext3? reiserfs?

The two do totally different things. sshd will give shell access, ftpd will facilitate file transfer. About user friendliness, it all depends on your users :) Let me search for the IMS thread you mentioned (when did you post it?) BR, S

The SUSE partition filesystem is ext3 (confirmed :). Sorry i meant telnet and ssh, not ftp. By the way, whats the difference btw 'ssh' and 'sshd' (am not on my terminal currently). Brother Steve, when you find the IMS thread, i got a couple of questions pending. Thanks y'all and God bless! On 7/10/09, Steve Muchai <smuchai@gmail.com> wrote:

AFAIK Solaris has no native ext3 support. grep around the Sun site, or google "solaris 10 ext3 support". Looks like there's some free stuff out there you can use.
telnet and ssh, not ftp.
telnet is cleartext, ssh is encrypted. You don't want passwords transmitted over the network in clear, do you? Go for ssh, there are free clients available, like PuTTY.
By the way, whats the difference btw 'ssh' and 'sshd'
ssh is the client, sshd is the server.
find the IMS thread, i got a couple of questions pending.
I'll try....date posted again, to make it easier? BR, S
