You could copy root's entry in the /etc/passwd file calling the new entry... ie:'kroot'. Don't forget to run "pwconv".

I found the answer... cd sourcedir ; tar cf - . | (cd destinationdir ; tar xf -)

I need to use tar to copy files from one directory and extract them into another directory in one step. I think its done something like this... tar cvf - . | ???? Any ideas ? Thanks, P@

In looking at completion times for the 'compress' command it was noticed some larger sized files compressed at a faster rate than smaller ones. 10.5Mb file consistently takes 3s to compress down to 1.5Mb - 3Mb/sec 22kb file consistently takes 25-30s to compress down to 7k - 1kb/sec both files...

What other possible reason's would there be for a processes 'nice' value to change from 0 to 2. So far I have found the following information... 1. A newly-created process inherits the nice value of it's parent process. 2. The owner of the process can increase it's nice value but cannot lower...

Thanks.... So, if I wanted to limit the amount of swap "all" processes can use down to 400mb I would use; ulimit -v 400000 (in kbytes) Can it be set for only certain processes that are giving us problems...(memory leaks) ?

I'm running Solaris 2.5.1 on Ultra II's with 1gb of RAM and 1.5Gb of swap. I'm wondering if there is a setting/configuration that would set the amount of swap a process is allowed to use or is that all handled by the program/application ?

Are there any more suggestions out there for a "user management" application that can replace "Enlighten" ?

Thanks, that a nice script. But what we were looking to do is to replace "Enlighten" which we currently have only a few licenses for. So the program would; 1. Configure users and groups-you could "Add, Modify, Copy, Delete, Change Passwds, Lock, Unlock, Expire Passwds, View...

My company is in the proccess of building a 'perl' based application to do the job of "user management" ie: creating accounts, changing passwds,etc... My job is to find applications already on the market that can be used on both platforms. Can someone out there give any...

...it down to syslogd being corrupted when messages were written to /dev/console. In the /etc/syslog.conf I removed all calls to /dev/console; # *.err;kern.notice;auth.notice;user.none /dev/console and messages would continue to get written to the messages file. I tested this with a...

Yes, thank you..the GNU version worked well. Thanks for responding......

My variants of grep (Solaris 7) does not understand the following options: -A NUM, --after-context=NUM Print NUM lines of trailing context after matching lines. -B NUM, --before-context=NUM Print NUM lines of leading context before matching lines. How else can I get a number...

...Is it possible that the raw partition we used (/dev/vx/rdsk/data1/objst_rawvol) is not performing as well as the partition (/dev/vx/rdsk/data1/DB) the original /DB filesystem was on? **** Total time spent for export: 5h29m56.32s **** **** Total real time spent for export: 14h42m5.06s ****

Problem: Somehow a file has been created with a null name in the root partition of a server. I understand that these files can be created through some bad interaction between PCs running NFS and UNIX systems. So far I have not been able to remove the null-named file. The technique described in...

In order to have ObjectStore 5.1 manage 2Gb files in a Solaris 2.5.1 environment we have created a 20g striped/mirrored RAW Volume with Veritas not laying a filesystems down on it. The database can be used to organize data on volumes. ---------------------------------------------------------...

I see it now I think, user.none was overwriting user.err I remove user.none and the logger command works now. I'll check with the DBA to see if he's getting the information he needs. I may back. Thanks, P@

I thought it would be picked up with *.err and also there is another entry in my syslog.conf that reads; # non-loghost machines will use the following lines to cause "user" # log messages to be logged locally. # ifdef(`LOGHOST', , user.err...

...I have copied another from our test environment server. And yes actually stopped (killed) syslogd, did not use -HUP. This listing in syslog.conf; *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit;user.none /var/adm/messages And this command; # logger -p user.err "Test" Does not write...
