All,

I am sponsoring this fast track for Spoorthy Shankarmurthy.
The case directory contains this proposal.  I have set the
timeout for Tuesday, February 24th, 2009.  sac_nextcase
failed this morning so if you get the proposal twice I
apologize in advance.

This case proposes to integrate ConMan into a Minor release
of Solaris.  ConMan is a serial console management program
designed to support a large number of console devices and
simultaneous users.  The project will use SMF to start the
conman daemon.

Thanks,

John

Summary
=======

ConMan is a serial console management program designed to support a large number of console devices and simultaneous users. It supports local serial devices, remote terminal servers (via the telnet protocol), Unix domain sockets, and external processes (e.g., using Expect to control connections over telnet, ssh, or ipmi-sol).

Its features include:

    * logging (and optionally timestamping) console device output to file
    * connecting to consoles in monitor (R/O) or interactive (R/W) mode
    * allowing clients to share or steal console write privileges
    * broadcasting client output to multiple consoles

ConMan is free software; It can be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at our option) any later version.

The latest version of conman is 0.2.3 and will be installed as SUNWconman package.

All,

This case has received the needed +1, the timer has expired and
it was approved at the LSARC meeting on Tuesday.
