NIS server sometimes loses connection to itself...
We are running a Solaris 2.8 NIS server on an Ultra 10. We have several clients that talk to it. At various times throughout the day, we'll notice the _server_ (lets call it sun1 here and our nis domain sun.yp) reporting, "NIS server not responding for domain "sun.yp". Maybe 2 or three times a day, we'll have a 1... 12 May 2006 10:13

ssh logging
I've set up basic public key sharing, with no passphrases, to test automated ssh logins to remote servers. That works fine. When I login, the commands I use are recorded in my .sh_history file. However, when I perform the ssh login with the commands bound to ssh [eg. ssh host1 ls /dev ] the commands are not being r... 11 May 2006 03:25

Help: Cannot boot from CD
I'm installing a Netra 440. I had the OS up and stable, I changed an rc2.d script, reboot the box and it never came up again. I doubt now that it's the script causing the problems as I performed an identical install on another box and it was OK (I later had to remove those changes, but that's another story). I a... 2 May 2006 10:41

starting mysql
I run a webserver for myself and a few friends, Solaris 10 on Ultra 10. I have always used Postgres, but a friend wants MySQL enabled. pkginfo | grep -i sql shows SUNWmysqlr, SUNWmysqlt, and SUNWmysqlu installed. But I don't seem to see them in the svcs output, nor do I see a /etc/init.d script, lying around... 7 Apr 2006 23:02

FT_Get_BDF_Property: referenced symbol not found
On Solaris 10 (3/05 or 1/06), when I call programs like ggv from a terminal I see messages like: | (ggv:7741): Gtk-WARNING **: ld.so.1: ggv: fatal: relocation error: | file /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: symbol FT_Get_BDF_Property: | referenced symbol not found Despite the word "fatal", the program is no... 19 Apr 2006 18:14

Mathematica problems on Solaris
There were several messages here recently about excessive CPU usage of Matematica on Solaris (SPARC). I thought some my like to know I have raised this with Wolfram Research who are investiating it. I've not received confirmation that they have verified it. I'd hope they contact Sun about this, as some recent So... 27 Mar 2006 10:54

Jumpstart Solaris 8 vs. Solaris 10 (sparc)
Hello Solaris Community. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this behaviour. With Solaris 8, we've had a process in place for a while now which has worked well. We've simply been creating compressed configuration tarfiles, parking them on an nfs share, then booting the Sun client from cd/dvd rom drive, usin... 24 Feb 2006 20:08
