I think you could boot your Solaris host from CD, then mount root slice and change permissions there, then reboot. But I think you won't notice the change after reboot, as /etc/mnttab is a mountpoint for mnttab memory based filesystem (after mounting it by the system, permissions on the mountpoint change to those of the mounted FS).

Hi Guys
New to this forum so apologies if posted in wrong place. Got a unixware 7.1.3 system (I know !). df -k produces no output which I believe is because /etc/mnttab is empty. Can /etc/mnttab be re-built ?
Thanks (2 Replies)
