Sun Fire X4150 Server Product Notes • February 2010
Telnet Vulnerability
Solaris 10 OS 6/06 and 11/06 distributions have telnet vulnerability issue in the
in.telnetd(1M) daemon that may allow unauthorized remote users to gain access to a
Solaris host. A patch is available on the Tools and Drivers CD v2.0. Patch 120069-02
addresses the Solaris 10 6/06 and 11/06 telnet vulnerability issue. Apply the patch
manually or run the
install.sh
script on all Solaris 10 6/06 and 11/06
distributions. For more information, please refer to Sun Security Alert 102802. This
patch will be incorporated into the Solaris preinstall image at a later date.
Solaris Xserver and NIC Interfaces
In order to start the Solaris Xserver, all of the configured network interface cards
(NIC) must be connected to the network. If a NIC is not configured, it does not need
to be connected.
Some KVM Switches Out of Sync Following a
Solaris OS Installation
When installing Solaris 10 6/06 in a rack with a KVM switch, the monitor might go
out of sync when the xserver starts to log into the operating system.
