Switching the Zone to a Different Networking Service Configuration or Enabling a Service

A zone is installed with the minimal networking service configuration described in Chapter 12, Managing Services (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration. You can switch the zone to the open networking service configuration. You can also enable or disable individual services in the zone.

How to Switch the Zone to the Open Networking Service Configuration

1. From the global zone, log in to the zone, for example, my-zone.

   global# zlogin my-zone

2. Run the netservices command to switch the zone to the traditional open networking configuration.

   my-zone# /usr/sbin/netservices open

   You will see a display similar to the following. Respond y to the prompt to restart dtlogin.

   restarting syslogd
   restarting sendmail

   restarting dtlogin

How to Enable a Specific Service in a Zone

   global# zlogin my-zone

2. Run the svcadm command to enable rlogin.

   my-zone# svcadm enable svc:/network/login:rlogin

3. List the services to verify that rlogin is enabled.

   my-zone# svcs -a . . . online 14:01:08 svc:/network/login:rlogin . . .
