Changing Services Offered to the Network with generic*.xml

The netservices command switches system services between minimal network exposure and the traditional network exposure (as in previous Solaris releases). The switch is done with the generic_limited.xml and generic_open.xml profiles. In addition, some services properties are changed by the command to limit some services to a local-only mode or to the traditional mode, as appropriate.

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Run the netservices command.

   In this example, the open or traditional network exposure is selected.

   # /usr/sbin/netservices open

Example 19–10 Limiting Network Service Exposure

This command changes properties to run some services in local mode, as well as restricts which services are enabled with the generic_limited_net profile. The command should only be used if the generic_open.xml profile had been applied.

# /usr/sbin/netservices limited
