Loosing identity of system Solaris 10

[armylogman]

I begin having file errors and when I do I can do whodo on my server and instead of it saying pts/3 it says syscon how do I fix this or can I fix this without re imaging the system?

Thanks In advance

Can you elaborate on the 'file errors' you're getting?

Here is what I am getting and what it should look like

This is a whodo on my server

console ajt01 8:16
? 25311 0:00 Xsession
pts/8 25386 0:00 sdt_shell
syscon 25388 0:00 sh
syscon 25491 0:00 dtsession
? 25498 0:00 dtterm
? 25497 0:00 dtwm
syscon 25490 0:00 ttsession


this is what it should look like

console ajt01 8:16
? 25311 0:00 Xsession
pts/8 25386 0:00 sdt_shell
pts/8 25388 0:00 sh
pts/8 25491 0:00 dtsession
? 25498 0:00 dtterm
? 25497 0:00 dtwm
pts/8 25490 0:00 ttsession

is there a way to fix this?

I read somewhere that syscon gets written to when the syslogd can't write to the syslog (if I recall correctly). Are there any entries in /var/adm/messages idicating a problem of some kind?

Ken Thanks, they already re-imaged the system so now I can't get a look at the messages files I will have more do the same thing so I will catch one and see

Thanks again
