Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

Sharing Critical File Systems

Share Home Directories

See "Administering NIS+ Groups" in Solaris Naming Administration Guide for ways to restrict home directory access to particular groups.

  1. In the root role at label ADMIN_LOW, under Trusted Solaris Management Console, click this-host: Scope=Files, Policy=TSOL.

    Note -

    If toolbox icons display as red stop signs, the toolboxes will not load. To load them, see Step 2 in "Initialize the SMC Server".

  2. Click Storage, provide a password if prompted, then double-click Mounts and Shares, then double-click Shares.

  3. Choose Add Shared Directory from the Action menu.

  4. Follow the online help to share the /export/home directory.

    The tool shares the directory and starts the NFS daemons,

  5. Verify that the directories are shared.


    $ showmount -e
export list for homedir-server:
/export/home

Share Mail Server Directories

  1. Repeat the above procedure to share the mail service directory.

    For example, when the directories are shared, the showmount command would show something like the following:


    $ showmount -e
export list for mail-server:
/export/post

    If the users' home directories and email directories are on the same server, the command would show the following:


    $ showmount -e
export list for server:
/export/home
/export/post

  2. If you have not finished configuring the name service master, return to "Creating Roles and Users". Otherwise, continue below.
