At one time I used do only sun but these days it's not enough so one needs to be versatile so now I'm also supporting hpux and other os.
I kind of do what you started to do, SUN only right now.

I basically do:

1. Support for Solaris: We handle customer cases from trivial to escalated issues.

2. Installations for SUN servers/Storage/Tape Library/Blade centers/SANs/Solaris.

3. Support/Service for SUN Hardware (Servers SPARC/X86, Blades, Disk Arrays/SANS, Tape libraries, backup softwares sometimes netbackup and legato).


4. Regular preventive maintenance and checkups.


5. Sales support and management.


6. Training, sometimes we train customers for Solaris administration.


7. Sometimes Linux calls.



I'd like to get exposure other UNIX flavors...maybe I need to change jobs to do that Smilie

Starting over, making a living with linux?

I really like to use linux, although I freely admit I don't know squat about it. I can install it, update it and get it to most of what I would like it to do, up to running some windows apps on it. I am going back so to school starting on the 25th, with a declared major of Information... (1 Reply)

Name
       group - group file

Description
       The file is an ASCII file that contains the following information for each group:

       Group name
       Encrypted password
       Numerical group ID
       Comma-separated list of all users allowed in the group

       Each  group name is separated from the next by a new line.  The fields are separated by colons.	If the password field is null, no password
       is demanded.

       Because of the encrypted passwords, it can and does have general read permission and can be used, for example, to map numerical	group  IDs
       to names.

       The  database  can be distributed in a network by a naming service, such as Yellow Pages or BIND/Hesiod.  See the Guide to the Yellow Pages
       Service or the Guide to the BIND/Hesiod Service for setup information.

Restrictions
       The command will not change the passwords.

       Increasing the number of groups that a user is in beyond 8 can affect services that use SUN RPC.  The version of SUN RPC shipped with ULTRX
       V4.2  supports up to 32 groups.	Prior versions supported users being in up to 8 groups.  Users who increase the number of groups that they
       are a member of to more than 8 will not be able to NFS mount file systems from ULTRIX servers older than V4.2.  If root group membership is
       increased to more than 8 groups on a V4.2 system, the YP service may not work if that V4.2 system is in a mixed YP server environment where
       there are both V4.2 and previous releases of YP servers.  Again, this incompatibility can only occur if a user's or root's group membership
       is increased to more than 8 groups.
