that’s whacked

more work on grommit and an SMF manifest for mailman

Sunday, Aug 14. 2005  –  Category: Code, Computers, OpenSolaris

I’ve spent much of the day working on the new grommit box. Ran the big ‘smpatch update’, got my BIND fix, and I seem to have all my non-web services/applications up and running. Getting mailman up and running was somewhat of a pain. I used it as a good exercise in writing an SMF manifest though. I ended up deriving one from the network/smtp:sendmail one… undoubtedly, it could be better, but here you go:

< ?xml version='1.0'?>

        </common_name>
      </template>
    </instance>
    <stability value='Unstable'/>
  </service>
</service_bundle>

the main things I have left to get running are all the web apps, specifically: the photo gallery, webmail, blogs, and mysql.
