You don't have to boot to the same version of Solaris in order to mount the root file system and zero out root's password. You should be fine booting to Solaris 8 or 9 using 'ok boot cdrom -s'. Cheers, Keith Keith Duffin http://www.duffin.org

Warren, Unless you have configured 'auditd' or some other process/system call monitoring, you will be hard pressed to identify what was generating your peak load. Sun's BSM auditing is nice, but depending on how it is configured, it can cause a noticable performance hit. What is the server...

What does your cron log say? (/var/cron/log on Solaris) Keith Duffin http://www.duffin.org

Do you mean whether to start EnterpriseApps that exist in a websphere installation automatically or not? Love to help, but I want the better understand the question. Keith Duffin http://www.duffin.org

Look at 'man sulog'. Solaris 'su' won't log commands being executed by the given user. It only logs the attempt/failure/success of su. If you really want to maintain a trail of commands executed by the user once they have su(d) to another user, you'll have to enable C2 auditing and use the...

If you want to recursively search the directory and other directories that may be therein, try: find /path/to/dir -type f | xargs grep 'ValueSearched' Cheers, Keith

Are the errors preventing the system from coming up? What was done prior to the errors occuring? A little more information would help me help you. Cheers, Keith

Root login may not be enabled at the console. Are you able to access the OS in any other manner? Keith

What are you doing to see the sockets/trace the connection? If you look at the netstat on the Weblogic server, you'll see something similar to: 172.16.2.81.58288 172.16.3.204.1521 24820 0 24820 0 ESTABLISHED 172.16.2.81.58351 172.16.3.204.1521 24820 0 24820 0...

It's probably worth noting that /tmp does not have to be swap. Having /tmp be a TMPFS file system is worthwhile for applicatoins that need faster access to those tmp files (such as DBMS systems), but is not a must. I've seen more than one admin with a skewed TMPFS ratio bring his box to its...

I'd start with http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/Servers/Midrange_Servers/SPARCserver_1000/ as a point of reference. The SE Handbook lists the following as compatible drives: 11 370-1424 535MB 5400 RPM Disk Drive, Conner CP30540 11 370-1424 535MB 5400 RPM Disk Drive...

Which flavor of UNIX is the modem connected to. I'd be happy to help, but it would help cater the response to the particular OS. Cheers, Keith keith@duffin.org http://www.duffin.org

Many of you have probably already seen this, but I thought it would be nice to post it for those that haven't. http://www.levenez.com/unix/ has a nice graphical history of the various stages of UNIX development. Cheers, Keith keith@duffin.org http://www.duffin.org

You don't have to burn it to a cdrom. I posted a FAQ under the solaris section called "How do I mount an ISO image under solaris?" Cheers, Keith keith@duffin.org http://www.duffin.org

So you are using a simple async connection? Do they have a modem connected to a console server or do you actually get a presence on their network (PPP for example)? If you have an IP presence, you can use ssh w/X11 forwarding for a secure xterm session. If you don't have an actual address on...
