Thanks for the responses. What material did you use? or have you done the course? I'm interested because I was going to write a study guide for the exam. I recently wrote the exam cram 2 for Sol 9 network admin exam and wanted to see if there was any interest and if many people are either taking...

Hi all Is anyone taking, or preparing, for the Solaris 9 security administrator certification? I'd be interested to hear how many have heard of it, or intend to take it. Thanks John John Philcox Mobile Ventures Limited UK http://www.mobile-ventures.net

They often can't be killed because they have become zombie processes. In solaris 9, the preap command will take care of most of them, although this isn't much help for Solaris 8. If you can schedule a reboot sometime, then this will probably be necessary to clear out the processes, but the...

Hi The device file /dev/dtremote is created when you do a remote login to CDE. You can see this if you use an X Windows server, for example , from a PC (I use Attachmate KEA!X). A long listing of /dev/dtremote shows that it is normally a symbolic link to /dev/null. I would check to see if this...

Hi SunOS 5.5.1 is Solaris 2.5.1 [ Solaris is the Operating Environment, which contains not only the SunOS Operating System, but a Windowing system and desktop tools ]. Hope this helps. John John Philcox Mobile Ventures Limited UK http://www.mobile-ventures.net

Hi You should be able to put this drive in. I have read somewhere that it can take up to 9GB Good Luck John John Philcox Mobile Ventures Limited UK http://www.mobile-ventures.net

Hi This will work ok if you link ucbcc to your gcc command. For example, if you installed gcc into /usr/local, then the gcc command will be in /usr/local/bin. ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc Then if you have /usr/ucb in your path, you can use the cc command. Good luck John John...

Hi In order to just find john, and not john12, in this case, you could use "awk" to do the comparison. If I have a file called filename with the following lines in it: john john1 john2 john21 john12 john44 then by running this: cat filename | awk '{if ($1 == "john") print...

Hi The easiest way to do multiple ftp jobs like this to the same box is to just add an extra alias in the /etc/hosts file. For example, you have FTPBOX01, so add the aliases FTPALIAS1 and FTPALIAS2 for example, then in the .netrc you can refer to each one separately and have them do different...

NIS+ uses rpc to communicate so you would be looking at port 111 (portmapper), see the man page for rpcbind. The nis+ daemon entries can be seen in /etc/rpc as follows: nisd 100300 rpc.nisd nispasswd 100303 rpc.nispasswdd HTH John John Philcox Mobile Ventures Limited UK...

Defintely Yes. John Philcox Mobile Ventures Limited UK http://www.mobile-ventures.net

Hi There might be something wrong with your boot settings somewhere - because the reference to misc/sparcv9/krtld is wrong. krtld resides in misc, so should read: misc/krtld. Have you tried doing an interactive boot from the prom, i.e. boot -a then seeing what the default values are for loading...

Hi I can recommend the Solaris 8 system administrator guide by Bill Calkins published by NewRiders. I have worked with the author on his last 3 books (Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7 and now SOlaris 8), all of which have had good reviews. The book contains more than just addressing the objectives in the...

Hi If you're using Solaris 8, then disksuite is included on the CD "Software 2 of 2" in the EA subdirectory. You can download the Solaris 8 CD images from the Sun Microsystems web site (www.sun.com). Alternatively, you can also download Disksuite v4.2.1 from this URL at the sun web...

I don't actually do it, because I've normally used veritas volume manager for database applications that use raw devices, such as informix for example. So, say you create m50 which is a mirror of two other devices, m51 and m52 you would do: metainit d51 1 1 c0t0d0s4 metainit d52 1 1 c2t0d0s4...

Just a thought, but are you using the "Installation" disk? cos most people just use that one as a coaster or as lining for the bin. Majority just boot off "Software 1of2" disk and install that way. HTH John Philcox Mobile Ventures Limited UK http://www.mobile-ventures.net

Don't forget that a cron job when it logs in does not have any environment set, you will need to do this at the start of the script. For example, it executes fw, but the PATH probably isn't set. If let's say, your environment settings are in the .profile of the home directory, then you could do...

Have you tried using prtdiag? Path is /usr/platform/`uname -m`/sbin/prtdiag (where the uname -m bit works out the architecture, i.e. sun4u etc). HTH John Philcox Mobile Ventures Limited UK http://www.mobile-ventures.net

You don't need to do an install at all, just get a CD and do a boot -s cdrom from the ok prompt. When you get to the prompt, you can mount your existing root filesystem into a temporary location and remove the current root password. For example, if your root is c0t0d0s0, then mount...

You're quite right, when you use the format command to create a partition, the result is the raw partition you require. Do not run newfs or anything on it, sybase will use it as it is. You might need to change the ownership and/or the permissions of the raw device file to the sybase user. HTH...
