Well sm42 if its an ultra5 box there is no lock position and no key at all. The reason it goes to ok prompt might be that u unplug the cable from the console box first while the connection is active.If u unplug it from the ultra FIRST then u have no problem. If u have a terminal concentrator and...

KHz read above...If u turn the key to the lock position no matter what u do the server will stay up...just try it ;)

Your serial cables might cause the shutdown of the server. If you haven't turned the key of the server to the lock position if u unplug the serial cable frrom the annex concenrator, or whatever this will cause the server to go to ok, just check that ur key is turned to the "lock" position. Hope...

I m trying to have sendmail check for mx records for outside boxes that connect to it and if the host is not a mail server to reject the connection. I know this is done in postfix (it checks to see wether the ip that connects has a valid DNS MX record and then acts accordinly). Anyone has any...

I m trying to have sendmail check for mx records for outside boxes that connect to it. I know this is done in postfix (it checks to see wether the ip that connects has a valid DNS MX record and then acts accordinly). Anyone has any idea how can this be done in sendmail? Thnx //George

Regarding the x86 hardware issue, I must (u see i m a solaris fan too) that this is so far its weakest point. My x86 experience was on a Micron server (dual cpu) but no array. Solaris 8 installed perfectly with no probs. Even the on board NIC was identified. I have also installed solaris 8 on...

Well Solaris' 9 bundled scp command is under /bin. Seems you are using a third-party scp. You can always add /usr/local/bin/ in the user's path. This will come handy in the future if you install additional third-party software (almost every binary is put under /usr/local/bin by default). You...

Did you check the user's path? You should have /bin in your path environmental variable.

I think we could open this interesting thread on wether solaris or linux would be the best choice on a x86 system. Whoever responds to this thread please include the version of solaris or the distro of linux he/she would consider the best choice along with arguments.

Hi Mike, the new "improved" version seems to do the job, with one drawback.Have you tried <Ctrl+C>. Check it and you see that it just echoes "^C" and does not break the line.

Check your /etc/networks file

Mike regarding the changes in the /.profile, I just found out today that they don't work. I tried to setup a second box with the shell settings but the /.kshrc is not read. On the 1st box it worked cause I still had the shell pointing to /bin/ksh in /etc/passwd. The settings you have are functional?

Check dmesg too.

Dont forget to change your /etc/vfstab file !!!

Ifconfig is used to set up interfaces only for your running sesion. When u reboot the box the settings are lost. In order to have all your interfaces configured during boot up you have to set up the /etc/hosts file and create the corresponding qfe files e.g. /etc/hostname.qfe1 If you have set up...

Did you try snooping the ip you are pinging? (see above)

Well actually this was a customers box. I advised them to reboot the server in case someone messed up with the box. They haven't called back so the prob seems to be solved. Thnx guys.

First of all try pinging your own ip address. If this works you Nic is ok. Then open a terminal windos and run snoop the_pinged_ip ON another terminal window run ping the desired ip. On the snoop window see what u get.

# cd /dir_where_the_package_is If you downloaded the package from sunfreeware you must run pkgadd as follows: # pkgadd -d make-3.80-sol9-sparc-local
