Open Failed for libssl.so.0.9.8

When I tried restarting ELOG from a user account on a Solaris 7 system, I received the following error: 
bash-2.03$ /usr/local/bin/elogd -c /home/elog/elogd.cfg -d /home/elog/logbooks -n localhost -D
ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/elogd: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file
 or directory

I had been running the program before without a problem, so I looked for libssl.so.0.9.8. It was present on the system.

bash-2.03$ find / -name libssl.so.0.9.8 -print 2>/dev/null

# ls -l /usr/local/ssl/lib

So I checked to see what libraries elogd was using with the ldd command.

bash-2.03$ ldd /usr/local/bin/elogd
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libssl.so.0.9.8 =>       (file not found)
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
        /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/libc_psr.so.1

So I then logged into the root account and checked the elogd file with the ldd command from that account.

bash-2.03$ su - root
Password:
Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.7       Generic October 1998
# ldd /usr/local/bin/elogd
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libssl.so.0.9.8 =>       /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
        libcrypto.so.0.9.8 =>    /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
        libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
        /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/libc_psr.so.1

From that account, I did not see "file not found" for libssl.so.0.9.8.

At an FAQ page on the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department website for the University of Toronto I found the following advice:

Q. When I try to run "svn" on Solaris, I get the error:
ld.so.1: svn: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
How can I get svn to work on Solaris?

A. Add /local/openssl-0.9.8a/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var before you \start:
i.e., setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /local/openssl-0.9.8a/lib

I checked the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting for the root command.

# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib

I then checked the value for the variable for the user account.

bash-2.03$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

bash-2.03$

On Solaris systems, you can use the -s option to show the full library search path.

bash-2.03$ ldd -s /usr/local/bin/elogd

   find object=libsocket.so.1; required by /usr/local/bin/elogd
    search path=/usr/lib  (default)
    trying path=/usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1

   find object=libnsl.so.1; required by /usr/local/bin/elogd
    search path=/usr/lib  (default)
    trying path=/usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1

   find object=libssl.so.0.9.8; required by /usr/local/bin/elogd
    search path=/usr/lib  (default)
    trying path=/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
        libssl.so.0.9.8 =>       (file not found)

   find object=libc.so.1; required by /usr/local/bin/elogd
    search path=/usr/lib  (default)
    trying path=/usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1

   find object=libnsl.so.1; required by /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1

   find object=libc.so.1; required by /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1

   find object=libdl.so.1; required by /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
    search path=/usr/lib  (default)
    trying path=/usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1

   find object=libc.so.1; required by /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1

   find object=libmp.so.2; required by /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
    search path=/usr/lib  (default)
    trying path=/usr/lib/libmp.so.2
        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2

   find object=libdl.so.1; required by /usr/lib/libc.so.1

   find object=libc.so.1; required by /usr/lib/libmp.so.2

   find object=/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/libc_psr.so.1; required by /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/libc_psr.so.1
bash-2.03$

So, when attempting to run elogd from the user account, the system was only checking /usr/lib for libssl.so.0.9.8. Since the file wasn't in that location, I got the "fatal: libssl.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory" message. So, though I thought I had been running the program from that user account, I must have always previously been running it from the root account, since I didn't ever see the error message before when running elogd.

So, while logged into the user account, I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/ssl/lib. I was then able to run elogd from the user account without an error message appearing.

bash-2.03$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib
bash-2.03$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
bash-2.03$ /usr/local/bin/elogd -c /home/elog/elogd.cfg -d /home/elog/logbooks -
n localhost -D
bash-2.03$ ps -ef | grep elogd | grep -v grep
jsmith  7961     1  0 14:13:05 ?        0:00 /usr/local/bin/elogd -c /home/elog/
elogd.cfg -d /home/elog/logbooks -n localhos

When I checked the contents of /var/log, I found the following:

-rwxrwxrwx   1 root     other        240 Jul 27  2000 sysidconfig.log

I moved authlog, maillog, and sshd.log to a a directory under /home, recreated the files in /var/log with touch, set the permissions to 600, and changed the group to what it had been previously on authlog.

# touch authlog.log

-rwxrwxrwx   1 root     other        240 Jul 27  2000 sysidconfig.log

I then restarted the syslog daemon so it would use the new files.

# /etc/init.d/syslog stop
# /etc/init.d/syslog start
syslog service starting.

When I then checked the free space for /var, 94% of the capacity was used, whereas it had been 100% previously.

Determinining the Version of a Package

To determine the version number for an installed package on Solaris, the pkginfo command can be used. If I wanted to check the version number for the Apache Portable Runtime Libraries utilities package, apr-util, I could issue the pkginfo command with no options and grep for apr to determine the package name. 
# pkginfo | grep apr
application SMCapr         apr
application SMCapru        aprutil

I can then check the version number using the command pkginfo -l SMCapru:

# pkginfo -l SMCapru
   PKGINST:  SMCapru
      NAME:  aprutil
  CATEGORY:  application
      ARCH:  sparc

NFS on Solaris

Solaris 9 and later comes with an NFS server. To use it, edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file. Place a share command in it using the syntax share [-F FSType] [-o specific_options] [-d description] [pathname].

The following shows an entry made to that file. Folders are shared via NFS using the share command. The options used are explained below:

-F nfsSpecify the filesystem type for sharing to be NFS.
-o rw=PC1Allow read and write access from one one client system named PC1
-d "share"Use share as the description for the share 
#       Place share(1M) commands here for automatic execution
#       on entering init state 3.
#
#       Issue the command 'svcadm enable network/nfs/server' to
#       run the NFS daemon processes and the share commands, after adding
#       the very first entry to this file.
#
#       share [-F fstype] [ -o options] [-d "<text>"] <pathname> [resource]
#       .e.g,
#       share  -F nfs  -o rw=engineering  -d "home dirs"  /export/home2

share -F nfs -o rw=PC1 -d "share" /export/home/jsmith/Documents/share

The options that can be specified with -o are as follows:

     -o specific_options

         The specific_options are used to control access  of  the
         shared resource. (See share_nfs(1M) for the NFS specific
         options.) They may be any of the following:

         rw

             pathname is shared read/write to all  clients.  This
             is also the default behavior.

         rw=client[:client]...

             pathname is shared read/write  only  to  the  listed
             clients. No other systems can access pathname.

         ro

             pathname is shared read-only to all clients.

Note: in the example above I used /export/home/jsmith/Documents/share as the directory to be shared. I had to use /export/home/jsmith/Documents/share rather than /home/Documents/jsmith/shared, because under Solaris the /home directory is a special directory. For sharing something under it with NFS, you need to use /export/home.

When I tried sharing the directory with the shareall command when I used /home/jsmith/Documents/share, I received an error message.

# shareall -F nfs
share_nfs: /home/jim/Documents/share: Operation not applicable

Once I used /export/home/jsmith/Documents/share in /etc/dfs/dfstab, I did not receive any error messages when running shareall.

# shareall -F nfs
#

Once the dfstab file has been edited, start the NFS server with svcadm enable network/nfs/server.

You can check the state of the NFS server with the svc command:

$ svcs network/nfs/server
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       14:19:50 svc:/network/nfs/server:default

You can use the -v option with the svcadm to get more verbose information. You can use the -r option to enable other services on which it depends. Svcadm then enables each service instance and recursively enables its dependencies. If the -s option is specified, svcadm enables each service instance and then waits for each service instance to enter the online or degraded state. svcadm will return early if it determines that the service cannot reach these states without administrator intervention.

# svcadm -v enable -r network/nfs/server
svc:/network/nfs/server:default enabled.
svc:/milestone/network enabled.
svc:/network/loopback enabled.
svc:/network/physical enabled.
svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr enabled.
svc:/network/rpc/bind enabled.
svc:/system/filesystem/minimal enabled.
svc:/system/filesystem/usr enabled.
svc:/system/boot-archive enabled.
svc:/system/filesystem/root enabled.
svc:/system/device/local enabled.
svc:/system/identity:node enabled.
svc:/system/sysidtool:net enabled.
svc:/milestone/single-user:default enabled.
svc:/milestone/devices enabled.
svc:/system/device/fc-fabric enabled.
svc:/system/sysevent enabled.
svc:/system/manifest-import enabled.
svc:/system/filesystem/local:default enabled.
svc:/milestone/single-user enabled.
svc:/system/filesystem/minimal:default enabled.
svc:/system/identity:domain enabled.
svc:/network/nfs/status enabled.
svc:/system/filesystem/local enabled.
# svcadm enable -s /network/nfs/server

If the service is still marked as disabled, you can use the -d option, which lists the services or service instances upon which the given service instances depend.

# svcs /network/nfs/server
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       14:55:55 svc:/network/nfs/server:default
# svcs -d /network/nfs/server
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       Jul_28   svc:/network/rpc/keyserv:default
disabled       Jul_28   svc:/network/nfs/mapid:default
online         Jul_28   svc:/milestone/network:default
online         Jul_28   svc:/system/filesystem/local:default
online         Jul_28   svc:/network/rpc/bind:default
online         Jul_28   svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr:default
online         Jul_28   svc:/network/rpc/gss:default

When I tried starting the NFS server software on a Solaris 10 system, I didn't see error messages when I ran svdadm enable -s /network/nfs/server, but when I would check it afterwards with svcs /network/nfs/server, the service was listed as disabled. So I tried enabling the keyserv and mapid services, which were listed as disabled.

# svcs keyserv
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       Jul_28   svc:/network/rpc/keyserv:default
# svcadm enable keyserv
# svcs keyserv

maintenance    15:43:56 svc:/network/rpc/keyserv:default
# svcadm enable mapid
# svcs mapid

online         15:44:58 svc:/network/nfs/mapid:default
# svcs /network/nfs/server
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       14:55:55 svc:/network/nfs/server:default
# svcadm enable -s /network/nfs/server
svcadm: Instance "svc:/network/nfs/server:default" has been disabled by another 
entity.
# svcs -x  svc:/network/nfs/server
svc:/network/nfs/server:default (NFS server)
 State: disabled since Sun Apr 26 15:45:46 2009
Reason: Disabled by an administrator.
   See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05
   See: nfsd(1M)
   See: /var/svc/log/network-nfs-server:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.

I finally realized that the NFS service won't start if there is no valid directory share. I had used /home/jsmith/Documents/share in /etc/dfs/dfstab instead of /export/home/jsmith/Documents/share. Once I corrected that problem, I was able to enable the /network/nfs/server service. 

# svcs /network/nfs/server
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         16:15:32 svc:/network/nfs/server:default
# svcadm enable -s /network/nfs/server
# svcs /network/nfs/server
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         16:15:32 svc:/network/nfs/server:default

I had previously run svcadm enable -r /network/nfs/server to recursively enable any other services that the NFS service depended upon. Since the keyserv and mapid services had been listed as disabled after I ran that command, but I had subsequenty enabled them when I incorrectly concluded that the fact that they were disabled was keeping the NFS server service from running, I disabled them again.

# svcadm disable keyserv
# svcadm disable mapid
# svcadm restart /network/nfs/server
# svcs /network/nfs/server
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         16:41:38 svc:/network/nfs/server:default

I then checked to verify the system was listening on the default port for NFS, port 2049.

# netstat -an | grep 2049

SunOS 5.7: jsh, rsh, ksh, rksh, sh Patch

I installed the SunOS 5.7: jsh, rsh, ksh, rksh, sh Patch on a Solaris 2.7 system.

I first checked to see whether the patch was already installed with showrev -p. It was not installed.

# showrev -p | grep 108162
#

If a patch is installed, you would see something like the following: 

# showrev -p | grep 106938-09
Patch: 106938-09 Obsoletes: 107018-04, 107332-04, 108412-01 Requires:  Incompati
bles:  Packages: SUNWcsu, SUNWcslx, SUNWcsl, SUNWarc, SUNWarcx, SUNWscpux, SUNWs
ra

I placed the .zip patch file I downloaded into /var/spool/patch, unzipped it and installed the patch with patchadd.

SunOS 5.7: packaging utilities patch

When checking SunSolve for available patches for a Solaris 5.7 system, I found a SunOS 5.7: packaging utilities patch. I unzipped the file I downloaded in /var/spool/patch and then used patchadd to install it, but received a message that another patch was required to be installed prior to this one.

Checking installed patches...
ERROR: This patch requires patch  107332-03
which has not been applied to the system.

Patchadd is terminating.

The 107332 patch was available from the SunSolve site, but its status was listed as "obsolete". That patch was obsoleted by patch 106938-07, which was in turn obsoleted by patch 106938-08, which was itself obsoleted by patch 106938-09, which has a title of "SunOS 5.7: libresolv, in.named, libadm, & nslookup patch".

I downloaded the SunOS 5.7: libresolv, in.named, libadm, & nslookup patch into /var/spool/patch and uncompressed it.

OpenSSL 0.9.8j and OpenSSH 5.2p1 Upgrades on Solaris 2.7 System

When I checked the version of OpenSSL on a Sun SPARC system running Solaris 2.7, I found it was out-of-date. 
# ssh -V
OpenSSH_4.7p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8f 11 Oct 2007
# /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8f 11 Oct 2007

Version 0.9.8j is currently available, so I downloaded it from sunfreeware.com. The sunfreeware.com site provides the following information for OpenSSL 0.98j for the SPARC platform:

openssl-0.9.8j-sol7-sparc-local.gz openssl is an open source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library - installs in /usr/local/ssl. Note to users with sun4m machines. The openssl package here was built on a sun4u system and will not work on your machines. The one built for Solaris 2.5 was built on a sun4m machine and has been tested and does work. If you do uname -a and you get sun4m in the result, install the Solaris 2.5 openssl package instead. The configure option used for making openssl was solaris-sparcv9-gcc shared. You may also need to install either gcc-3.4.6 or libgcc-3.4.6 to obtain the libgcc_s.so.1 library. openssl is often used to make machines more secure. Make sure you know what you are doing. Any security problems are your responsiblitiy. See our Disclaimer.

openssl-0.9.8j.tar.gz Source Code. [Details]

I unzipped the file I downloaded and installed the package. 

# gunzip openssl-0.9.8j-sol7-sparc-local.gz
# pkgadd -d ./openssl-0.9.8j-sol7-sparc-local

The following packages are available:
  1  SMCossl     openssl
                 (sparc) 0.9.8j

Installation of <SMCossl> was successful.

I then verified the new version was installed.

# /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8j 07 Jan 2009

When I then ran the ssh command, I realized I needed to upgrade ssh as well.

# ssh -V
OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 908070, you have 9080af

Sunfreeware.com listed the current OpenSSH version as 5.2p1.

openssh-5.2p1-sol7-sparc-local.gz Openssh is an open source version of the SSH secure shell system - installs in /usr/local. PAM support is included and requires its own configuration. Openssh also requires the installation of the packages openssl-0.9.8j (do not use the older openssl packages), zlib, gcc-3.4.6 or libgcc-3.4.6, prngd and optionally, but highly recommended, the perl, egd and tcp_wrappers packages. You MUST read the OpenSSH installation page for installation details and helpful web sites. For example, the /usr/local/etc/sshd_config file may need to be edited. openssh is often used to make machines more secure. Make sure you know what you are doing. Any security problems are your responsiblitiy. The main ssh web site is at the [Details] link below. It is also important that you read our Disclaimer.

openssh-5.2p1.tar.gz Source Code. [Details]

So I downloaded and installed the latest OpenSSH package from sunfreeware.com as well. 

# wget -q ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/7/openssh-5.2p1-sol7-sparc-local.gz
# gunzip openssh-5.2p1-sol7-sparc-local.gz
# pkgadd -d ./openssh-5.2p1-sol7-sparc-local

I then rechecked the version of ssh on the system. The version was now up-to-date. 

# ssh -V
OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8j 07 Jan 2009

The OpenSSH installation page stated "It has been noted that on some Solaris systems, scp and sftp may not work unless /usr/local/bin in in your PATH before /usr/bin. The older scp that comes with Solaris may conflict with the new openssl packages." So I tested sftp and scp to ensure they worked by transferring a file to another system.
