Install of Gentoo AMD64 on a Sun Java Workstation W1100z


http://uk.sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/W1100z/W1100z.html

Install of Gentoo 2004.2 AMD64 Universal CDROM, with a stage 3 install and KDE. Due to time limits I was unable to a Stage 1 or test audio and NVIDIA drivers.


Boot from Live CD Gentoo 2004.2 AMD64.

Network
To enable network, with no DHCP available.
The Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5703X uses the TG3 (Tigon3) driver.

livecd root # modprobe tg3
livecd root # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop

 livecd root # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start

 livecd root # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.12 up

 livecd root # route add default gw 192.168.1.254

 livecd root # vi /etc/resolov.conf
 nameserver 192.168.1.254

Disk
 Although the Java Workstation has an Adaptec AIC-7902 Controller, the internal drive was IDE ATA. Surprising to me that only the LiteOn Combi CDROM was found, thus manually required to load IDE drivers.

 livecd root # modprobe ide-disk


livecd root # lsmod

ieee1394 98392 2 sbp2,ohci1394
usb_storage 66880 0

Carry on install as normal.
Remember to add support for the Adaptec AIC7902 when building the kernel. And add the Tigon3 NIC support . I've used gentoo-dev-sources Kernel AMD64 v2.6.9-r1.



Benchmarking with John the Ripper 1.6
Quick and dirty benchmark against a Sun V610 Xeon 2.8 Gentoo 2.6.5 & the SunW1100z Gentoo 2.6.9.

Johntheripper is a masked package for AMD64, so needed to bye pass keywords.

tux# vi /etc/portage/package.keywords

app-crypt/johntheripper *

tux# CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O6 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" emerge johhntheripper

Results overview from "john -t"
CPU 2.8 Xeon AMD 150
DES 196706 720659
BSDI DES 6762 24906
MD5 4294 4741
Blowfish 425 372
Kerberos 148487 339303
NTLM 1567952 2948532
DES results are excellent, but poor for MD5 and Blowfish.

Solaris 11 Locale en_GB.UTF-8 / en_GB.ISO8859-1 / en_GB.ISO8859-15

When you install Solaris 11/11 from standard text installer cdrom, the en_GB-UTF-8 locales are not installed, even if you select British locales on install. EDIT 4th FEB 2018 - Still valid for Solaris 11.4 Beta.  To make sure packages are have the correct localisation, IPS uses facet as a localisation personality. $ pkg facet FACETS VALUE facet.locale.pt_BR True facet.locale.es_ES True facet.locale.en_US True facet.locale.zh_TW True facet.locale.zh_CN True facet.locale.de_DE True facet.locale.fr_FR True facet.locale.it_IT True facet.locale.ko_* True facet.locale.ja_* True facet.locale.es True facet.locale.de True facet.locale.zh True facet.locale.ko True facet.locale.it True facet.locale.pt True facet.locale.fr True facet.locale.en True facet.locale.ja True facet.locale.* False As you can see no en_GB is described and " facet.locale.* False " is a deny everything else rule. So let change this. I'm assuming you have a Solaris 11 repository already configured

Scheduled network capture on Windows using Wireshark (tshark.exe)

A customer had an iSCSI issue and was required to capture network packets at a specific time on a Windows 2008 server. I came up with simple method using Wireshark's tshark.exe and Windows scheduler "AT". at cmd /c c:\capture.bat type c:\capture.bat rem Capture WireShark example rem Andy Paton rem WTL rem use AT to run batch rem example at 01:50 cmd /c c:\capture.bat rem debug at issues rem example at 09:50 /interactive cmd /k c:\capture.bat rem -a duration:1200 in seconds rem -B Buffer Size - default is 1Mb rem -i Interface number - use "tshark.exe -D" to list interface numbers rem -n don't resolve IP addresses rem -q Quiet output rem -w output file rem capture filter "host " c:\"Program Files"\Wireshark\tshark -a duration:1200 -B 2 -i 4 -n -q -w c:\network.out host 192.168.1.1

[Linux] X-server ScreenShots from the CLI "ImageMagick"

Build some documentation for a customer and required some screenshots, KDE has Ksnaphot . But I wanted many screen shots and need a simple cli command to capture various screens. ImageMagik provides the " import " command which does just the job from the command line. To capture the whole desktop as a JPEG use the following. $ import -window root screen.jpg To save in a diffrent grapics format change the extention of the output file. (gif,pnm,pmm,tiff etc..) To capture single window ie firefox You need to find the window name, two methods of getting the "window name" 1. use xwininfo, which will then ask you to click target window and display information. 2. xlsclients -l display list of windows Note you can use a window title or the DECIMAL window ID, xwininfo and xlsclients output in HEX. $ import -window < WINDOW ID DECIMAL > screen1.jpg $ import -window "< WINDOWS TITLE >" screen2.jpg
