Changes From the Trusted Solaris 8 to the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 Release

Sun Blade^TM hardware

The Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 release runs on the Sun Blade 100 and Sun Blade 1000 hardware. 

SMC Auditing 

The Solaris Management Console GUI is now fully audited. 

SMC Rights Manager 

Supports copy and paste of security attributes of commands and actions. 

SMC Computer and Networks tool 

Supports a Default setting for the label and clearance in a security family template definition. 

When the Default button is selected, the label and clearance values of the interface are applied to unlabeled packets. The label and clearance values are not provided in a template. 

SMC Toolbox files 

Toolbox files (*.tbx) require the <Scope> tag in addition to the <URL> tag within the <ToolBoxURL> tag. The <Scope> tag indicates the scope that the sub-toolbox will use. The scope value must match the value that is specified in the <Scope> tag of the respective sub-toolbox.

A freshly installed Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 system has already implemented the <Scope> tag. When you upgrade a system from the Trusted Solaris 8 release to the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 release, you must enter the correct scope value. You must manually modify the /var/sadm/smc/toolbox/tsol_smc/tsol_smc.tbx toolbox to add the <Scope> tag for each <ToolBoxURL> tag in the file. Similarly, users are required to modify any toolboxes created in any location other than the default SMC toolbox location.

Smart Card technology 

The Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 release supports Smart Card technology on Sun Blade hardware.  

Man Pages 

References to information labels (ILs) have been removed from all man pages except the label_encodings(4) man page.

Man pages specific to ILs have been removed. 

The allocate(1), deallocate(1), and list_devices(1) man pages have been moved from Section 1m to Section 1.

The mkdevdb(1) man page describes the device allocation interfaces.

The streams man pages (tsol_put*ctl*(9f)) have been removed. Trusted Solaris differences are handled in the Solaris versions (put*ctl*(9f)) of the man pages.

NIS+ actions 

Actions to handle NIS+ groups have been added to the System_Admin folder. 

Upgrade  

Upgrade is supported from Trusted Solaris 8 to Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 only.
