Full Discussion: Solaris 10 Terminal Error
Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10 Terminal Error Post 302474627 by jastanle84 on Wednesday 24th of November 2010 10:04:53 PM
Old 11-24-2010
I did the followin on /dev/null:

Code:
chmod 666 null
chmod: WARNING: can't change null

This is the current permissions:
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         27 Nov 24 09:48 null -> ../devices/pseudo/mm@0:null

These are the permissions I have on the actual linked file, which are correct:
Code:
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       13,  2 Nov 24 21:51 mm@0:null

This is what I have in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
Code:
# ident "@(#)nsswitch.files     1.14    06/05/03 SMI"

#
# /etc/nsswitch.files:
#
# An example file that could be copied over to /etc/nsswitch.conf; it
# does not use any naming service.
#
# "hosts:" and "services:" in this file are used only if the
# /etc/netconfig file has a "-" for nametoaddr_libs of "inet" transports.

passwd:     files
group:      files
#hosts:      files # Commented out by DHCP
hosts: files dns # Added by DHCP
#ipnodes:    files # Commented out by DHCP
ipnodes: files dns # Added by DHCP
networks:   files
protocols:  files
rpc:        files
ethers:     files
netmasks:   files
bootparams: files
publickey:  files
# At present there isn't a 'files' backend for netgroup;  the system will
#   figure it out pretty quickly, and won't use netgroups at all.
netgroup:   files
automount:  files
aliases:    files
services:   files
printers:       user files

auth_attr:  files
prof_attr:  files
project:    files

/etc/hosts has the correct hostname next to the ip address.

/etc/resolv.conf has the correct domain and dns servers for my ISP.

Can someone guide me on if I am seeing the correct stuff as I am new to this and after setting up the hostname in the below files I am still getting the same errors:

/etc/nodename
/etc/hostname.xxn
/etc/inet/hosts

nss-systemd

NSS-SYSTEMD(8)							    nss-systemd 						    NSS-SYSTEMD(8)

NAME

       nss-systemd, libnss_systemd.so.2 - Provide UNIX user and group name resolution for dynamic users and groups.

SYNOPSIS

       libnss_systemd.so.2

DESCRIPTION

       nss-systemd is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc), providing UNIX user and
       group name resolution for dynamic users and groups allocated through the DynamicUser= option in systemd unit files. See systemd.exec(5) for
       details on this option.

       This module also ensures that the root and nobody users and groups (i.e. the users/groups with the UIDs/GIDs 0 and 65534) remain resolvable
       at all times, even if they aren't listed in /etc/passwd or /etc/group, or if these files are missing.

       To activate the NSS module, add "systemd" to the lines starting with "passwd:" and "group:" in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

       It is recommended to place "systemd" after the "files" or "compat" entry of the /etc/nsswitch.conf lines so that /etc/passwd and /etc/group
       based mappings take precedence.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example /etc/nsswitch.conf file that enables nss-systemd correctly:

	   passwd:	   compat mymachines systemd
	   group:	   compat mymachines systemd
	   shadow:	   compat

	   hosts:	   files mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname
	   networks:	   files

	   protocols:	   db files
	   services:	   db files
	   ethers:	   db files
	   rpc: 	   db files

	   netgroup:	   nis
