sendmail in opensolaris

...by default is accepting connections only from localhost.
Not very useful if you want to have a functional mail server.
To allow connections from everywhere svccfg is the way to do it:

#svccfg -s sendmail setprop config/local_only=false


Don't forget to : #svcadm refresh sendmail and restart the sendmail server: #svcadm restart sendmail


To check if it is ok, run:

#svcprop sendmail
[...]
config/local_only boolean false
[...]

and telnet your_host 25 from outside.

ProFTPD pakage for opensolaris

In opensolaris there is no proftpd package, so I decide to build it and to make a pkg

First, you must decide how many packages you will need and what will be their names

the distributables names have the form:
<$PKG>-<$VERSION>--<$ARCH>-local[.tgz]


where local means that the package is installable on /opt or /usr/local
According to the solaris filesystem (man filesystem), add-on software could install files only on:
/opt/
/etc/opt/
/var/opt/
/var/svc/manifest
/var/tmp
/usr/local is not an SVR4 approved directory: /usr is availble only for Solaris bundled software; exceptionally, /usr/local could be a softlink to /opt/local
the usernames are limited to 8 characters.


In opensolaris the pkg have the name format XXXyyy, where XXX is the name of the of company and tge yyy is the name of the software.For example, SUNWpostgr-83-libs

So, let's start work on the proftpd pkg file.

Setup the directory structure in your home directory somethinglike this: ~/pkg/build/$PKG/{ControlFiles,Objects}

- $PKG is TSTproftpd

Copy the proftpd files structure in Objects directory

#pwd
#/root/pkg/build/TSTproftpd/Objects
root@freya:~/pkg/build/TSTproftpd/Objects# ls
_EXTRAS FAKE_ROOT

- FAKE_ROOT

-- contain the TSTproftpd directory (here are the files of the proftpd server).This will have a structure bin include lib libexec sbin share usr var.You will notice no etc directory (etc of proftpd will be located in /etc/opt/TSTSproftpd

-- in FAKE_ROOT/etc/opt/TSTproftpd are the conf files, proftpd.conf, proftpd.key/pem etc.

-- in FAKE_ROOT/var/opt/TSTproftpd directory will contain the pid file and the delay file

FAKE_ROOT is the proftpd directory structure after the install of the pkg file.


- _EXTRAS

Here we have the smf method file, sysV init script and the xml manifest file


#~/pkg/build/TSTproftpd/Objects/_EXTRAS# pwd
/root/pkg/build/TSTproftpd/Objects/_EXTRAS
#~/pkg/build/TSTproftpd/Objects/_EXTRAS# ls
etc TSTproftpd var



The structure of the _EXTRAS dir:

#~/pkg/build/TSTproftpd/Objects/_EXTRAS# ls -R
.:
etc TSTproftpd var

./etc:
init.d

./etc/init.d:
proftpd

./TSTproftpd:
lib

./TSTproftpd/lib:
svc

./TSTproftpd/lib/svc:
method

./TSTproftpd/lib/svc/method:
proftpd

./var:
opt svc

./var/opt:
TSTproftpd

./var/opt/TSTproftpd:
proftpd

./var/opt/TSTproftpd/proftpd:
proftpd.delay

./var/svc:
manifest

./var/svc/manifest:
network

./var/svc/manifest/network:
proftpd.xml



The second and the most and difficult step is to create the ControlFiles directory and the files from it.


create ControlFiles/copyright
(optional) create ControlFiles/space
(optional) create ControlFiles/compver
(optional) create ControlFiles/depend
(optional) create ControlFiles/checkinstall script
(optional) create ControlFiles/{preinstall, postinstall, preremove, postremove} procedure scripts
(optional) create ControlFiles/{i., r.} class action scripts
(optional) create ControlFiles/request user interaction script

Finaly the prototype file must be created, this is the difficult part ;)

This will create a file, containing the pkg structure.Anyway, some modifications must be done.

edit the paths for the relocatable objects
add the {e, v, x} entries
modify the (user, group) owner for the entries
modify the file permissions for the entries
(optional) add the classes entries, other than 'none'
build the package:

The file should be like this:

The proftpd will be installed in /opt/TSTproftpd directory.The conf file in /etc/opt/TSTproftpd directory, the svc method in /opt/TSTproftpd/lib/svc/method.The xml manifest will be in /var/svc/manifest/network.For more info about filesystem organization in opensolaris system, read man filesystem

Now it's time to build the pkg file.By default, the package in filesystem format will be generated on the 'spool' device: /var/spool/pkg/. For other destinations, see the '-d' option of pkgmk.

# pkgmk -o -f ControlFiles/prototype -r Objects/FAKE_ROOT,Objects/_EXTRAS


!!!! No errors are allowed. !!!!

# cd /var/spool/pkg

Translate the package to the datastream format, suitable for distribution:

# pkgtrans -s `pwd` /tmp/TSTproftpd.pkg

The following packages are available:
1 TSTproftpd ProFTPD server and utilities
(i386) 1.3.2

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:all
Transferring package instance


To install the TSTproftpd server, type # pkgadd -d TSTproftpd

By default, proftpd is disabled at start up

To enable it, type svcadmin enable network/TSTproftpd

The end :)

ProFTPD manifest xml for opensolaris

In order to start/stop/refresh proftpd using SMF method, you need two files, the manifest xml file and the start/stop/refresh proftpd script.

Copy this file in /var/svc/manifest/network/proftpd.xml

To import this file type as root:

Second file, the proftpd start up script:

echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart }"
exit 1
;;
esac

exit $?


Copy this file in /lib/svc/method/

In order to start up the proftpd server (read more about how to compile proftpd on opensolari here) type:

svcadm enable proftpd-server

To check if the proftpd server is running type:

svcs -p proftpd-server

The output will something like that

root@opensolaris:/var/lib# svcs -p proftpd-server
STATE STIME FMRI
online 12:07:06 svc:/network/proftpd-server:default
11:56:03 276 proftpd

To stop the proftpd server type:

svcadm disable proftpd-server

Same for refresh/restart method

svcadm refresh proftpd-server

The script and the xml file are self explained, and if you installed the proftpd in a different path, do not forget to change the PROFTPDIR, PROFTPCONF and PIDFILE variables from proftpd script acording to your proftpd prefix.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you have problems with the proftpd manifest check the /var/svc/log/network-proftpd-server\:default.log file.

To see if the proftpd is running:

svcs -xv proftpd-server

The output is something like this:
