no i did not apply the patch, i am not sure i know how to go about it, seems rather complicated.
I was trying to see if i still had the patch, locally on the disk soo i wont have to copy to diskette ( E220R dont even have diskette drives) etc, but after mounting /, i couldnt seem to find it.
I cannot copy the output of the df -k for u as the machine is off the network since it cant boot, but this is a transfer of the handwritten output below;

# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
#cd /
#cd /a
#df -k

Filesystem : /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3
Kbytes : 12100380
used : 876196
avail : 11103181
capacity : 8%
mounted on : /a

Offcourse, on the server, this entry, along with others, is displayed horizontally.
With reference to chttp://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsrdb%2F20768&zone_32=cannot%20write%20to%20utmp%20and%20utmpx%20files%20solaris%207 ,
i could not seem to find any matches when i did
ls -l /a/devices/pseudo/sys*
and i cant seem to find the post patch script 106541-05 either.
Please how do i go about this? i might be missing something.

Is there a chat room you belong to? i would like to chat with you as i try to resolve this problem, for advice. I am :: email removed :: and :: email #2 removed ::

Thanks.

wtmpx

utmpx(4)							   File Formats 							  utmpx(4)

NAME

       utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats

SYNOPSIS

       #include <utmpx.h>
       /var/adm/utmpx
       /var/adm/wtmpx

DESCRIPTION

       The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files.

       The  utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database
       contains the history of user access and accounting information for the  utmpx database.

USAGE

       Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to  inter-
       act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently.

FILES

       /var/adm/utmpx	       user access and adminstration information

       /var/adm/wtmpx	       history of user access and adminstrative information

SEE ALSO

       getutxent(3C), wait(3C)wait.h(3HEAD)
