           Summary: SMF issues on sparse-root zones
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.2p1
          Platform: Sparc
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: mike.ellis at fmr.com


I was REALLY impressed by your make-system, where "make package"
produces a Solaris package. very very slick. SMF integration ontop of
that.. GET OUT!!! (Redonkulous as Tyra would say)

But alas I found a bug I'd like to report.

Basically if you install the package directly into a sparse-zone, SMF
can't go putting things in /lib///// as that is a read-only
directory/fs that it can't write into. If we're in a sparse-root local
zone (and that could be anytime really), only /var, /opt, and
potentially /etc are in play.

To be clear -- the manifest appears to load well, and looks good in
/var/svc -- its the location of the start-method defined in the openSSH
manifest that isn't sparse-root zone compatible.

      <exec_method
            name='start'
            type='method'
            exec='/lib/svc/method/site/opensshd start'  <--- bad mojo
            timeout_seconds='60'>
            <method_context/>
        </exec_method>

Adjusting to:

         exec='/opt/OpenSSH/lib/svc/method/site/opensshd start'

(where /opt/OpenSSH is the --prefix) does the trick
