checking /var/adm/messages

Nov  6 10:09:29 pressman2 /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911 daemon.error] can’t read the directory snmpd.conf [errno: Not a directory(20)]

me trying to start snmp

bash-3.00# svcadm enable svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default

bash-3.00# svcs|grep snmp
offline        10:03:20 svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default

On the second line you can see that I check and it was not started or offline.  So then it was time to consult with svcs -x.  That stated that I was missing a prerequisite process that snmp relied on.

bash-3.00# svcs -x
svc:/application/management/seaport:default (net-snmp SNMP daemon)
State: disabled since Wed Oct 28 16:25:27 2009
Reason: Disabled by an administrator.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05
See: snmpd(1M)
Impact: 1 dependent service is not running.  (Use -v for list.)

bash-3.00# svcs |grep snmp
online         11:25:54 svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default

Now everything works like it should.

$radtest username password servername port secret

$radtest clinets-username clients-password (hostname of server) (radtest username password servername port secret) (shared secret between radius client and server)

I would like to note that if set the hostname to somewhere where a radius server does not exist then you will keep on getting output saying “Sending Access-Request of id 27 to 203.65.22.105 port 1812″ this is because the radius server works over UDP so it has no idea if the server received the packets or not, so it just keeps trying.

A successful test looks like this

hostname:~# radtest    username  userpassword hostname.com  1813 sharedsecret
Sending Access-Request of id 60 to 203.65.22.105 port 1812 User-Name = “username”
User-Password = “userpassword”
NAS-IP-Address =203.65.22.105
NAS-Port = 1813
rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 203.65.22.105 port 1812, id=60, length=20

A rejected login test looks like this

hostname:~# radtest    username  userpassword hostname.com  1813 sharedsecret
Sending Access-Request of id 60 to 203.65.22.105 port 1812 User-Name = “username”
User-Password = “userpassword”
NAS-IP-Address =203.65.22.105
NAS-Port = 1813
rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host 208.73.74.68 port 1812, id=80, length=20

Err it would not let me connect.  As you can see I first tried to ssh, then ssh in verbose mode.  As you can see the output did not really give anything that useful.

I logged into the remote server and all it would tell me is

Jul  7 11:37:53 remoteserver sshd[21761]: refused connect from clientserver

I wold have to be connected to the serial console to see this message, I was not able to see the message anywhere else.  Not in /var/adm/messages or /var/log/syslog

So what I ended up doing was adding this line to /etc/hosts.allow

p_ctminetd,sshd,bpcd,vnetd,vopied,bpjava-msvc: 10.20.55. : allow

That line allowed any host in the 10.20.55.* subnet to connect to the server now, and ssh was allowed to connect.

user:/var/www/core# ls -l
total 56
-rw-r–r– 1 root     root      213 2009-06-01 07:14 \
-rw-r–r– 1 user user 378 2009-05-21 09:14 ads.php

We try to delete it but it is not possible because the back slash is a special charter.

user:/var/www/core# rm \
>

So we have to go and list out the inode numbers.  Those are the inode numbers in the first collum.

user:/var/www/core# ls -li
total 56
458132 -rw-r–r– 1 root     root      213 2009-06-01 07:14 \
457759 -rw-r–r– 1 user user 378 2009-05-21 09:14 ads.php

So now we use find to delete the inode number which in turn deletes the file.

user:/var/www/core# find . -inum 458132 -exec rm -i {} \;
rm: remove regular file `./\\’? y
user:/var/www/core# ls -l
total 52
-rw-r–r– 1 user user 378 2009-05-21 09:14 ads.php

/etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf

and start it up using smf

svcadm enable /application/management/sma
