Hi all,
I've got the following problem:
I created a zone (solaris 10), the zone operates from a given directory(/zones/z10), but it does not have its own slice (the system has only root & swap slices). In other words: the zone is not "mounted" per se, it's not even in the /etc/vfstab. However, according to a friend of mine it's perfectly OK, and several of his systems are set up this way, no problems whatever.
Here's the thing: when I logged in to the zone (after, of course having installed it), I ran into lots of problems with privileges. Even the root coudn't open some files. It turned out almost all dirs and files were in 700 privilege mode! Also, I created a new user, but when I try to log in (from within the zone), I get:
No utmpx entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest level "shell".
When I log in from global zone ("zlogin -l <username> z10"), I can log in, but the user doesn't have privileges to modify files.
I tried to clear the /var/adm/utmpx and close the utmpx service, but to no avail. From the global perspective the /zones/z10 dir is in 700 mode, as it should.
What has gone wrong? Anyone had similar problems?
Appreciate your help!
