    Default Shell in /etc/passwd is bad

    Solaris is truly it's own UNIX, the root users shell is optimized and apparently has some weird hardwiring into their kernel. I had this same thing happen to me and ended up reinstalling because we couldn't get back in to fix the file. I am hunting down this obscure reference that I found which...

    And of course whilst submitting the post, the issue got answered. Ha.

    Licensing

    I agree with the captain based on what the original post says. Look at the licensing pages of microsoft.com. Ducatista's original post says he is adding a 'W2K3 standard edition' to a 'SBS 2000' environment. Assuming it is not a typo, that kind of move would require 2K3 CAL's for the 2K3 server...

    Home made DVD playing sound but not pictures

    I had a similar problem with WinDVD a while back. Mine was solved by updating WinDVD. So I side with BigBen that your player might need an update. You can also Google 'dvd playback black screen' for some useful info.

    Virtual Memory

    Hmmm... sounds like paging file corruption? Try setting the page file sizes to 0. Reboot in safe mode and delete the pagefile.sys (hidden in C:\ so you'll need to 'attrib' it first). Then set it to whatever size you want and reboot again. This will allow it to be recreated.

    Sound on Solaris 10

    I had the same problem. Save yourself a lot of grief and aggravation. Go to www.opensound.com and get the osssound package from them (a good solaris FAQ www.sun.drydog.com).

    Routing and sharing internet with win2003 server

    I'm more curious as to why your ISP isn't providing you assistance. With a block of 64 static addresses you would be considered to be a large business interest to them and I have to believe they would be providing some kind of setup/installation assistance to you.

    Disable Windows Update before SP2 comes out.

    Complications? Well up to now Microsoft has released its Service Packs as mostly a rollup of previously relased fixes in a convenient one-pack. Service Pack Two takes things a step further it contains released fixes but it also makes changes to a lot of default settings attempting to make the...

    Server refuses to forget the past Domain Name

    You need to wipe the disk. The info is held in the NTFS partition 'signature'. To get rid of everything on the disk you can use a commercial product like Norton or find a shareware disk wiper like 'NukeIT'. This is a common 'problem' around since NT.
