Franz, I am root on the master server. I never had this problem before. It did not require a root password. Here is something interesting I found out. Initially, it did not allow me to change passwords at all, as root, until I executed a keylogin command. Now, it allows me to change passwords...

I just upgraded to Solaris 9, and have NIS+ running on the system. I find that when I try to change the password on user accounts: passwd -r nisplus guest it now prompts me for the root password. Does anyone have any idea why it wants roots password?

I just upgraded our NIS+ root master server from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9. All patches are current as of Aug 22nd. Now , when using the following syntax passwd -r nisplus [username] I get the message : passwd: User unknown: [username] The user is shown as existing ,when I do ; niscat...

I normally download the recommended patches once a month and install them on my system. I find that as the cluster becomes bigger, it give a "not enough space in /var to install" message and does not install, unless I remove files and makes space, but when the installtion is complete...

Jamisar, Please ignore the previous message. I found the other file I need to edit to take that option away. The file can be found /usr and in the home directories, and it's name is sys.dtwmrc. In this file, the "Lock Display" option needs to be commented out. Thanks again. You have...

Jamisar, I did all that, and I now know that it disables the lock icon on the fool bar at the bottom. However, the Lock Display" option is still available when you right-click on the desktop, and it still locks the screen. Do you know what needs to be done to disable this? Thanks a lot, I...

Hi, Does anyone know exactly how the floppy access is done with regards to volcheck. I have found that if floppys are manually ejected without issuing the 'eject floppy' command, that the floppy names remain in the /floppy directory, and after many occurences of this, the floppy drive becomes...

Jamisar, Yes, I tried login out and back in again, and the option was still available. I am not sure that I understand this part : .* == every repetition of every chars aaa bbb and aaa bbb will be match by (in vi,sed + so on) s/aaa.*bbb/qqqTTT/g Kris.

jamisar, I tried that. I found two files name dtwm.fp in /usr/dt/appconfig/types/C and /usr/dt/appconfig/types/en_US.UTF-8 In these files, I could not find PUSH.*LockDisplay but I found a PUSH_ACTION LockDisplay. I commented these out and put in PUSH_ACTION f.refresh The system still...

Does anyone know how the lock screen option can be disabled for users, on the CDE? Kris.

Hi, I have autoloader which I use for backups. Is there any way in which to unload one tape and upload the next tape programatically, instead of doing it manually? I do the backups through a cron job, but I still have to come in the next day to upload the next tape. Any help will be greately...

When trying to boot up a Solaris 8 system, I get the following message: /dev/ksyms is not a 32-bit kernel namelist cannot open kernel And it stops booting. This machine was working fine, without any problems, and with all the security patches in it, until this happened. Does anyone know why...

I added quotas to a filesystem that already has users on it. I find that quotas get turned on for new users I create but not for the old users. What do I need to do to make sure that the old users also adhere to the quota system? Thanks.
