Changes to SunOS 5.8 (Solaris 8 4/01 Release)

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 environment supports the new features in the Solaris 8 release. Feature support includes IPv6, IPsec, role-based access control (RBAC), and new media types, such as Zip, Jaz, and DVD.

The following Solaris 8 features function differently in the Trusted Solaris environment:

• The Trusted Solaris release does not update the Solaris SUNWrdm README package. Many items in that package apply to the Trusted Solaris environment. However, for late-breaking news particular to the Trusted Solaris environment, see the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 Release Notes.

• The Trusted Solaris versions of selected Solaris man pages are enhanced for Trusted Solaris security policy.

• The following Solaris interfaces are not supported in the Trusted Solaris 8 environment:

  • bsmconv(1M) and bsmunconv(1M) – See Trusted Solaris Audit Administration for how to manage auditing. See Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures for how to manage devices.

  • rexecd(1M)

  • rusers(1)

  • ncad(1M)

  • spell(1)

  • talk(1)
