Hello,

I have 2 Sparc machines with Solaris 10 here and have no
experience with Solaris yet (I know RHEL+OpenBSD a bit).

I can't find any manpages on those machines eventhough
the respective packages seem to be installed:

pkginfo | grep -w man
system SUNWasman Sun Java System
Application Server, man pages
system SUNWdtma CDE man pages
system SUNWdtmad CDE developer man pages
system SUNWdtmaz Desktop Power Pack man
pages
system SUNWj3man J2SDK 1.4 man pages
system SUNWopenssl-man OpenSSL Manual Pages
system SUNWsfman GNU and open source man
pages
system SUNWxwman X Window System online
user man pages
system SUNWxwpmn X Window System online
programmers man pages

You are missing SUNWman.
Install it from the system's Solaris installation media.

# echo $MANPATH
/usr/man:/usr/dt/man:/usr/openwin/man:/usr/local/man
# man man
No manual entry for man.
# man pkgadd
No manual entry for pkgadd.

Does anybody have an idea?

Also I have updated both machines using "smpatch update",
but would like to update the packages too and also install
few more packages (like vim and sudo).

What is the standard non-GUI Sun tool for doing that?
The RHEL has this comfortable "yum search/install/update"...

I've tried:

# pkgadm listcert
ERROR: unable to find any public key certificates in keystore file </
var/sadm/security>
ERROR: unable to find any trusted certificates in file </var/sadm/
security>
ERROR: Cannot print certificates to <stdout>

- do I have to add a Sun package repository here?

Where can I see which packages are available for Solaris 10
and what where the latest updates for them?

They are on your installation media. The latest S10 release is
update 5 (05/2008, IIRC). Don't mix packages from different
releases -- install or upgrade to the whole new release.
I suggest doing a full install, so you'll then have everything.
