Operating Systems Solaris getent not working, solaris 10 only Post 302597327 by h_thal on Friday 10th of February 2012 02:30:21 AM

any special characters in the gecos attribute?
I had the same problem on our Sol10 servers, the "getent passwd" command stopped after 4300 entries (from 12.000 entries). But the getent command on Sol8 and Linux clients still worked well.

I found out, that the reason for this behaviour was in my case a ":" character in the gecos attribute string of one user on the Oracle Directory Server. This is a bug in the LDAP client implementation of Solaris10.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.
