Oracle Solaris Man Pages That Are Modified by Trusted Extensions
The following two tasks enable you to transfer exact copies of configuration files to every Trusted Extensions system at your site. The final task enables you to remove Trusted Extensions customizations from an Oracle Solaris system.
When copying to portable media, label the media with the sensitivity label of the information.
Note - During Trusted Extensions configuration, the root role copies administrative files to and from portable media. Label the media with Trusted Path.
To copy administrative files, you must be in the root role in the global zone.
Use the Device Manager, and insert clean media. For details, see How to Allocate a Device in Trusted Extensions in Oracle Solaris Trusted Extensions User Guide.
The File Browser displays the contents of the clean media.
For example, you might have copied files to an /export/clientfiles folder.
For details, see How to Deallocate a Device in Trusted Extensions in Oracle Solaris Trusted Extensions User Guide.
Note - Remember to physically affix a label to the media with the sensitivity label of the copied files.
Example 4-6 Keeping Configuration Files Identical on All Systems
The system administrator wants to ensure that every system is configured with the same settings. So, on the first system that is configured, the administrator creates a directory that cannot be deleted between reboots. In that directory, the administrator places the files that must be identical or very similar on all systems.
For example, the administrator modifies DNS lookups and the policy.conf file for this site. So, the administrator copies the following files to the permanent directory.
# mkdir /export/commonfiles # cp /etc/security/policy.conf \ /etc/resolv.conf \ /etc/nsswitch.conf \ /export/commonfiles
The administrator uses the Device Manager to allocate a CD-ROM in the global zone, and transfers the files to the CD. On a separate CD-ROM, labeled ADMIN_HIGH, the administrator puts the label_encodings file for the site.
It is safe practice to rename the original Trusted Extensions file before replacing the file. When configuring a system, the root role renames and copies administrative files.
To copy administrative files, you must be in the root role in the global zone.
For details, see How to Allocate a Device in Trusted Extensions in Oracle Solaris Trusted Extensions User Guide.
The File Browser displays the contents.
For example, add .orig to the end of the original file:
# cp /etc/security/tsol/tnrhtp /etc/security/tsol/tnrhtp.orig
For details, see How to Deallocate a Device in Trusted Extensions in Oracle Solaris Trusted Extensions User Guide.
Example 4-7 Loading Common Configuration Files in Trusted Extensions
In this example, the root role needs to copy configuration files to portable media. These files are to be copied to each Trusted Extensions system.
First, the root role allocates the floppy_0 device in the Device Manager and responds yes to the mount query. Then, the root role inserts a clean diskette that is labeled Trusted Path. The administrator then navigates to the configuration files and copies them to the diskette.
To read from the diskette, the root role allocates the floppy_0 device on the receiving system, then downloads the contents.
To remove Trusted Extensions from your Oracle Solaris system, you perform specific steps to remove Trusted Extensions customizations to the Oracle Solaris system.
For portable media, affix a physical sticker with the sensitivity label of the zone to each archived zone.
For details, see How to Remove a Non-Global Zone in System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Zones, Oracle Solaris 10 Containers, and Resource Management.

Various services might need to be configured for your Oracle Solaris system. Candidates include auditing, basic networking, naming services, and file system mounts.
