Life on the OutSide: May 2008

I have been using MIMEDefang for some time and I thought I would write a Solaris SMF manifest so it would fit with the new Solaris 10 services.

I started off looking at a collection of existing manifest files from smtp-sendmail.xml to ssh.xml and a few online pages. So to convert your existing installation to use SMF do:

[updated 3rd July 2008 : init-script.in]

1) Rename the old startup files (you can delete them at a later date):
# ls /etc/rc?.d/*mimedefang
/etc/rc0.d/K38mimedefang /etc/rc1.d/K38mimedefang /etc/rc2.d/S82mimedefang /etc/rcS.d/K38mimedefang
# mv /etc/rc0.d/K38mimedefang etc/rc0.d/_K38mimedefang
# mv /etc/rc1.d/K38mimedefang etc/rc1.d/_K38mimedefang
# mv /etc/rc2.d/S82mimedefang etc/rc2.d/_S82mimedefang
# mv /etc/rcS.d/K38mimedefang etc/rc1.d/_S38mimedefang

2) Copy the startup file to a different location. You could put it in /lib/svc/method where all the Solaris ones are located, but I decided to keep it with the other mimedefang software (if you do change the location make sure you update the manifest file correctly):
# cp /etc/init.d/mimedefang /usr/local/mimedefang/bin/init-mimedefang

3) You can use your existing startup file and it will work with this manifest, but if you want to make full use of the manifest, then use this new version.

4) The download version is a replacement for the "examples/init-script.in" found in the source code directory, so you will need to to be put it in place before you build mimedefang (init-script is built when you run configure) and then copy init-script to in new location.
# cp examples/init-script /usr/local/mimedefang/bin/init-mimedefang
Changes are:
- Altered it to get rid of some none Solaris options.
- Altered the stop_it routines so it does a better job (better use of kill and more checking), which means that mimedefang will auto restart if it dies.
- Altered so it makes use of the properties of the service.

6) Check and setup the manifest:
# svccfg validate /var/svc/manifest/network/mimedefang.xml
# svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/network/mimedefang.xml

7) See if it all worked:
# svcs -a mimedefang
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       16:58:48 svc:/network /mimedefang:default

8) Check what properties are available to be altered:
# /usr/bin/svcprop -p config mimedefang:default
config/mx_socket astring mimedefang-multiplexor.sock
config/spooldir astring /var/spool/MIMEDefang
config/stability astring Evolving
config/mx_maximum integer 10
config/mx_minimum integer 2
config/mx_relay_check astring no
config/mx_sender_check astring no
config/mx_recipient_check astring no
config/mx_user astring defang

9) Change any which need to be altered
# svccfg -s mimedefang:default setprop config/mx_maximum = 10
# svccfg -s mimedefang:default setprop config/mx_user = "defang5"
# svccfg -s mimedefang:default setprop config/mx_relay_check = "yes"
# svccfg -s mimedefang:default setprop config/mx_sender_check = 'yes'
# svccfg -s mimedefang:default setprop config/mx_recipient_check = "yes"
# svcadm refresh mimedefang

10) Start it up
# svcadm enable mimedefang
# svcs -a mimedefang
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         16:59:48 svc:/network /mimedefang:default

11) Check the log file
# svcs -l mimedefang:default
