sudo logging + NFS hang?
Hi all,

I have two problems, My system is SunOS 5.9:

1- I have installed sudo but I have a problem logging user activities on other hosts, the way I installed it is that I installed sudo and the sudoers file in a shared directory on a NFS server which is mounted by all computers on the newtork. I have configured the sudoers file to log into a file in the shared directory by the following command:

Defaults logfile=/share/sudo.log

but this only works for command that are run on the server itself, and won't log commands done on hosts. Any way to solve this problem?

2- My manager requested a configuration of NFS servers where all the computers can see the hard drives of all other computers, so I changed the /etc/dfs/sharetab to share the root directory on all the machines and I changed the /etc/vfstab to mount the root directories of all other machines on each machine. This configuration works fine, but when a machine is turned off the other machines will not restart successfully nor will they see other working remote machines. I guess this is because of the lack of a timeout mechanism in the NFS configuration, is there anyway to configure an NFS client to stop looking for a remote server after, for example, 5 seconds of no response, and then give control back to kernel?


Thanks!

nfsconfig

nfsconfig(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      nfsconfig(8)

NAME

       nfsconfig  -  Launches  the  SysMan  Menu  at the Network File System Configuration (NFS) level, where you can configure a system as an NFS
       server or as an NFS client

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/nfsconfig

       /usr/sbin/sysman nfs

DESCRIPTION

       The NFS Configuration section of SysMan Menu is used by the System Administrator or the UNIX system manager  to	manage	NFS  configuration
       issues.

       It  allows  the	system	to be configured as an NFS server (to make its file systems available to remote machines), or as an NFS client (to
       mount remote file systems).

       Before using nfsconfig, be sure to configure Network Interfaces using the Network Configuration section of the SysMan menu.

       You can configure your system as an NFS Server, an NFS Client, or both.	However, if the Network Interfaces are down, the following daemons
       will not start: nfsd, pcnfsd, proplistd, mountd, and automountd.

       Use  nfsconfig  to do the following: Manage the configuration of the system as an NFS server.  You can only configure your system as an NFS
       server if the NFS Server option is built into the kernel.  Manage the configuration of the system as client-only system Specify	file  sys-
       tems to be mounted or exported Start and stop the NFS daemons

   Online Help:
       Online help is available for the NFS dialog boxes. You can get help by selecting the Help button on any dialog box.
