Solaris: Check hme ethernet link speed, duplex, and status

When troubleshooting networking issues, it is often helpful to determine the state of an ethernet interface. Solaris offers access to many configurable networking parameters through ndd.

To determine the ethernet interface link status, duplex, and speed on hme0, run the following commands as superuser:

ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0 ndd -get /dev/hme link_status
ndd -get /dev/hme link_mode
ndd -get /dev/hme link_speed

If you have only one ethernet interface, you can leave out the instance command. Otherwise, you can specify the hme instance number there. The results of the next three commands are either 1 or 0. In each case, the value means:

link_status: 0=down 1=up
link_mode: 0=half duplex 1=full duplex
link_speed: 0=10Mbps 1=100Mbps

How to assign rights to start/stop/reload  Application services like httpd,mysql/sendmail via sudo and using assigning rights via getfacl/setfacl

1.    Log on to server XXX server

2.    Assign  rights to normal Account user in linux: baskar + JJ:

* Rights for Fetchmail & Procmail to change/stop/start the application/

*  Rights to stop/start httpd  and  mysqld

3. Edit sudo file using visudo and append the line  below end of the file and save the file and close it.

baskar   ALL=NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/fetchmail stop,/etc/init.d/fetchmail start, /etc/init.d/sendmail stop,/etc/init.d/sendmail start,/etc/init.d/httpd stop, /etc/init.d/httpd start,/etc/init.d/mysqld stop,/etc/init.d/mysqld start

jj   ALL=NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/fetchmail stop ,/etc/init.d/fetchmail start, /etc/init.d/sendmail stop,/etc/init.d/sendmail start,/etc/init.d/httpd start,/etc/init.d/httpd stop, /etc/init.d/mysqld stop,/etc/init.d/mysqld start

4.Using getfacl/setfacl we can assign the rights to individual user

 Rights to change files in /backup/baskar  and  /backup/jj

#setfacl -m user: baskar:rwx /opt/RT, /opt/RT

#setfacl -m user: jj:rwx /backup/baskar, /backup/jj

* Rights to change files in  /var/www/html/*

#setfacl -m user: baskar:rwx  /var/www/html/

#setfacl -m user: jj:rwx  /var/www/html/

* Rights to read files in /var/log/

#setfacl -m user: baskar:r /var/log

#setfacl -m user: jj:r /var/log

4. Create separate group like baskarjjrwx and baskarjjr and assign the rights accordingly

setfacl -m group: baskarjjrwx:rwx /var/www/html/  /backup/baskar /backup/jj

setfacl -m group: baskarjjr:r /var/log
