Whenever I create a zone on Solaris, I have a couple of things I always seem to have to fix beyond the usual configuration. Since I don't do it that often, I have to look them up repeatedly, so I thought I'd just put them in this post and maybe that'll help me remember and I can just look them up in one place.
First, I always need to change the permissions on /dev/ptmx. Before you change the permissions to 666 on this STREAMs master clone device, the shell won't have any terminal control, so:
chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
Second, install SUNWuiu8 to get rid of an annoying message when you log in via ssh:
sshd[4860]: [ID 800047 auth.error] error: Can't convert to UTF-8: Cannot convert the local codeset strings to UTF-8
I think this is a missing dependency for SunSSH.
So,
pfexec pkg install SUNWuiu8
I'll add more as I think about it.
