From Solaris 9 update 2, a new framework was introduced that would make it possible to select among a number of hash algorithms the famous one that would be used to compute the encrypted version of the passwords. Before that time, the traditional crypt () routine was used, limiting the size of passwords to 8 characters and providing the even more famous 13 characters found in the /etc/shadow file.The Solaris Pluggable Crypt Framework makes it possible to choose from 3 new algorithms, all allowing a maximal password size of 255 characters:

# cat /etc/security/crypt.conf
(…)
1 crypt_bsdmd5.so.1
2a crypt_bsdbf.so.1
md5 crypt_sunmd5.so.1

BigAdmin is hosting a new tool : Installation Check Tool 1.0

The tool is actually an (68MB) ISO image to burn on a CD. Try to boot from the CD and after the Solaris 10 01/06 kernel is started, the tool will report all devices that were detected together with a flag mentioning whether there is a driver available for it ( from Sun or third party ).

To note :

• The tool does not report on video drivers.
• The tool will be regularly updated with the new drivers.

Why not trying the tool before downloading the 4 CDs of S10 ?
