    I am just wondering, if you disable some services in /etc/rc2.d/
    directory. Is one of them sendmail ??? If the sendmail was disabled,
    would you try to boot again with sendmail enabled. Realy have no idea
    coz I had the same problem before with Sunfire V880 on Solaris 8.
    Then probably just kill thesendmail service after bootup is completed.
    Just checking if we have the same cause for slow boot up ?

    I have a SunFire 480R, Solaris 9. Every time I reboot the system just
    hangs at the point below, for about 5 min and then continues booting. Is
    there a log file to look at after the system boots to see why it hangs
    for 5 min

    thanks

    I'm thinking of picking up a Motorola T720 today.
    I'm wondering if there a Solaris friendly cell phone exists.
    I'm going to stop running windows at home. I'm hoping to run gnome, 
    Solaris 8 or 9 and ximian.
    I'd love to transfer address book info between Solaris and the T720.
    What are your thoughts?

    Thanks to WC Jones and the others that replied to my original e-mail which is
    below.
    After trying a few things, I simply did a patchrm on three of the patches that
    were installed. The patches causing me the problem were: 109148-26 and
    108994-29, 109327-11. I'm not sure which one or all of them that were causing
    the problem. But, because of the fact that the problem corrupted the root
    file system every time I tried to shutdown the system, I didn't really have
    the time to find out which patch was causing the problem.
    Thanks again for the help!
    John
    On Friday, I installed the Recommended and Security patches to a x86 Solaris 8
    system. After the patches were installed, I did a reconfigure boot. This
    morning, when I try to shutdown the system, I get this error message:
    # Shutdown -y -g0 -i6
    ld.so.1: /sbin/init: fatal: relocation error: file /etc/lib/nss_files.so.1:
    symbol__nsl_fopen: referenced symbol not found
    I couldn't find the exact message with a google search, but one close to this
    suggested to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib. Before setting the env
    variable, this variable was set to nothing. After setting it, I was able to
    get a little further in the shut down process, but then the system complained
    giving almost the exact same message expect it was looking for "/sbin/uadmin"
    instead of "/sbin/init".

    Hi I am trying to run Veritas Cluster Server Quickstart for Oracle, and am
    encountering a problem.
    The command in question is vcsqs-oracle-wizard.
    The cluster is up and running successfully, the shared disk group is setup
    and Oracle is installed and runing on a virtual IP. So all the prereq's
    are met.
    When I run 'vcsqs-oracle-wizard' the database is discovered by quickstart,
    but I keep getting an error dialiog box "Listener vis is listening on the
    base IP address of the system. Please update listener IP and click retry."
    But the Oracle is already configured to listen on a virtual IP (hme0:2)..
    Any Ideas? -- Solaris 9, VCS 3.5
    Thanks

    Hello gurus.
    Since we are under contract with Dell, I recently bought 3 UltraSharp 
    LCD(isplays) from them. They work fine on a PC and on a Blade 150 but they 
    won't wake up when attached to a U5 or U10. If there is a solution, great. 
    Otherwise, what LCD do YOU know that will work on U5s and U10s? We have big 
    magnets here and LCD vs. CRT solves a lot of space problems.

    I'm sending this to sunmanagers in case someone knows of a way to solve
    my problem without enhancing PuTTY. If not, then I'll submit a PuTTY
    enhancement request.
    Here's the problem I'm trying to solve:
    I want use stty to make the delete key send the interrupt signal
    (something like stty intr '^?') using PuTTY (TERM=xterm) to connect to a
    Solaris 7 system. I'm not an expert on stty, but as far as I can tell,
    there's no way to map a multi-character key sequence like "ESC [3~" to a
    signal like intr. If I try something like stty intr '^[[3~' (which
    probably doesn't make sense anyway), then what ends up happening is the
    ESC key (^[) becomes the "interrupt key", and a whole slew of keys that
    send "ESC something" no longer work as expected.
    I wish PuTTY would let me configure the keyboard to send Control-? when
    the delete key is pressed instead of "ESC [3~". I browsed the PuTTY
    wishlist and didn't see this particular request. Perhaps its a special
    case of the request for a general key-mapping feature, but it would be a
    lot easier to implement and is very similar to an existing feature
    whereby you can configure PuTTY to send either Control-H or Control-?
    when the backspace key is pressed.

    Thanks to all who responded. Many pages and links of documentation were sent,
    but the clearest answer was to pick up a copy of "LDAP System Administation",
    by Gerald Carter (O'Reilly and Associates). The book contains a complete HOWTO
    for getting UNIX systems to work with Active Directory. Another suggested
    title was "Kerberos: The Definitive Guide", by Jason Garman (also an ORA
    book). Between the two of them, I should be able to get this working properly.
    For those who requested to be kept in the loop on the progress of this
    project, I'll try to keep an accurate journal of the implementation and
    promise to share with the class.

    What would cause metatool to report different results than metastat and 
    metadb. For example, metatool will show each device as in either 
    maintenance or critical mode whereas the status is OK in metastat.

    Hi There,
    Thank you very to all who responded to my query of installing a new
    hard-disk. I have managed to get it going now but have run into another
    problem.
    I am trying to start openwindows by using "/usr/openwin/bin/openwin" and
    get the following response:
    "Giving up..
    /usr/openwin/bin/Xinit Connection refused (errno 146): unable to
    connect to Xserver
    /usr/openwin/bin/Xinit: no such process (errno 3) Server error."
    After installation of Solaris 8 on E250 I had to install Raptor GFX Open
    Windows for Solaris. Midway through the installation I get the following
    warning:
    " ## Verifying package dependencies
    Warning:
    The packages " OpenWindows required core package" is
    a prerequisite package and should be installed."
    I tried to look for this package on the Solaris 8 CD but could not find
    it.
    I will be glad if someone can help me out here and get openwindows
    going.
    Your help will be appreciated.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Anand.

    Hello,
    I have at least one bad memory module in an E420R, but I don't
    seem to be able to run test-memory or test/memory from this
    machine. Is there a memory test for this hardware?
    I downloaded SunVTS, as I read that it has a software memory tester,
    but I'm not sure if this is the right way to go or not. I will
    probably not get a chance to get into the docs and test it out 
    until Thursday anyhow.
    I like to test in my dev 420 before putting components into my 
    production machines, so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Just running apps that use alot of memory seems like a suboptimal
    way to test.. 
    Thanks,
    Rob Helmer
