SunScreen SKIP Open Issues and Late-breaking News, Release 1.1.1

Emergency Start Instructions

System Hangs and You Cannot Access the Machine

  1. If your system hangs when you are configuring SKIP and you do not have access to your machine, reboot your machine in the single-user mode and become root.

  2. With a text editor, such as vi, edit the file acl.<network_interface> in the /etc/opt/SUNWicg/skip/ directory so that line

    	skiphost -i <network_interface> -o on 

    reads

    	skiphost -i <network_interface> -o off 

    to disable SKIP.

  3. Reboot your machine normally to clean up the file system.

  4. You, then, as root, may reconfigure your access control list as your security policy dictates.

System Hangs, But You Still Can Become Root

  1. If your system hangs when you are configuring SKIP and you still have access to your machine and can become root, enter

    	# skiphost -o off -i <network_interface>

    This will disable SKIP on the network interface

  2. Then, as root, you may reconfigure your access control list as your security policy dictates.
