openssh init.d script for baseline Solaris 8

Hi all,

Since I did not manage to find one with a google search i wrote an init script that can start, stop and restart sshd on a baseline installed solaris 8 machine, no additional tools over the base OS + openssh. It's quite basic but it does what it's supposed to do.

http://www.tackman.net/sshd-init-solaris8

create a file in /etc/init.d/ named for example openssh or sshd, let's use sshd as an example vi /etc/init.d/sshd

        insert into this file the script mentioned above and save it chmod 755 /etc/init.d/sshd
cd /etc/rc2.d
ln -s ../init.d/sshd S991sshd
cd /etc/rc0.d
ln -s ../init.d/sshd K991sshd

all set, now you can start sshd manually by entering /etc/init.d/sshd start. sshd will start and shutdown with the system at reboots.
