has anyone seen an ancient SMB client stop being able to talk to our latest and seen "clnt <IP> no supported dialect" ?

I think that might be on purpose when smb1 got turned off?

but I have no idea for sure

sounds legit.

tsoome_, gwr, etc would know

is it possible to turn smb1 back on, or is it just gone?

jbk maybe

I don't, sorry :\

I'll go hunt for info on smb1 being turned down. thanks!

Haha:

It me.

thanks for pointing me in the right direction, richlowe.

... might be tricky to override on smartos...

sharectl set -p min_protocol=1 smb

can probably just do that on boot. gross, but should fix things for me for now.

Seems to work. Need a better long-term solution...

thanks again!

nahamu: do you export from GZ?

If you're sharing out of a zone that sharectl SHOULD stick.

nights are good, some things get sorted while I sleep:D

gwr: just replied on gh 👋

danmcd: yes, from gz. I need to learn to share from zones and reconfigure how everything is set up. Ideally only the single share for the printer should be set that way.

and done. new zone created, just that one directory shared out with min_protocol=1.

nahamu: you may also want to use a delegated dataset for that (if not doing so already)

twitter.com/alanc/status/1806078511335223362 could be a privacy concern, for the small number of systems that have multiple users, with at least one who uses /usr/bin/spell

oh, tmp files?

I'm guessing the link isn't going to work in whatever this tty emacs chooses to open :)

not tmp. /var/adm/spellhist, where it records every word that isn't found in the dictionary from every user of /usr/bin/spell, along with their username & utmp info

What a UNIX thing to do

so the admin can amend the dictionary, of course

or punish the poor of spelling

an exciting covert channel, for the 80's

as long as you never need to communicate a dictionary word

enabled by usr/src/pkg/manifests/SUNWcs.p5m listing mode=0666 for the spellhist file

does it let you sneak things out of labels? :)

steganography through cacography

uuencode /top/secret | spell

also just "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/var/adm/spellhist" jesus

only if your global zone admin has made the spellhist files in each labeled zone be hard links to each other (which I think is hard to do since normally each zone would have it's own filesystem)

I assumed this was going to be some kind of setuid thing

what an atrocious idea this was lol

sure, it's one of many ways that users can fill /var, especially if /var/tmp isn't a separate filesystem

Definitely one I had no idea about though

I feel like people can at least foresee /var/tmp as an avenue for shenanigans

/var/tmp has been my enemy so many times

/tmp too!

Really users should just not have files

but yeah, our bug to fix it wasn't labeled "this is bad for privacy", but "we ship unmonitored, unrotated word-writable file that few people know about"

jclulow: just need to copy the systemd feature to delete /home then

ha

(which admittedly makes sense for building temporary, throw-away container images, despite people hitting it on their long-lived Linux laptop installations)

and I guess they don't have a giant home directory server to ever prompt them to worry about someone typing it down the wrong pipe.

I think one of the core issues with the systemd folks is that their focus wanders (this week it's lets be a good laptop, next week it's let's replace all container platforms) and they only have one giant pile of confusingly named and split up programs and libraries in which to do it all

Also they're abrasive and don't listen to people, I guess, is probably up there :P

But other than that, Mrs Lincoln

they desperately want to have a unified kernel+userspace like illumos or BSD, but Linux doesn't do that, so systemd becomes the dumping ground for all the userspace stuff anyone wants to do

Yeah

I haven't managed to keep up with what's going on, I'm convinced booting userland is something everyone will always hate though, like issue tracking.

richlowe: It isn't really confined to booting, these days, is amongst the litany of misdeeds

It will be interesting to see the first time someone suggests that everything would be better if systemd reparented on top of fushcia or some other not linux

all those GNU-slash jokes will get funnier

true fact

maybe systemd-libc will be the big giveaway

I mean, ksh93 contains a C library...

You might be surprised to discover I am also not a huge ksh93 fan haha

at least that's the only "mode=0666" found in a github search of the illumos-gate repo

I once trawled through everything that was randomly +x
