Hello Guys.
I kinda need some advice about the partitions.
You need to have "x86 Boot", "Solaris" and a "swap" partition right ?
I did this: I typed 10 percentage for "x86 boot" and 85 percentage for "solaris". The swap partition was at 5000mb.
Everything was going smooth, until this... (1 Reply)

fingerd
in.fingerd(1M) System Administration Commands in.fingerd(1M)NAME
in.fingerd, fingerd - remote user information server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/in.fingerd
DESCRIPTION
fingerd implements the server side of the Name/Finger protocol, specified in RFC 742. The Name/Finger protocol provides a remote interface
to programs which display information on system status and individual users. The protocol imposes little structure on the format of the
exchange between client and server. The client provides a single command line to the finger server which returns a printable reply.
fingerd waits for connections on TCP port 79. Once connected, it reads a single command line terminated by RETURN-LINEFEED and passes the
arguments to finger(1), prepended with -s. fingerd closes its connections as soon as the output is finished.
FILES
/var/adm/utmpx User and accounting information.
/etc/passwd System password file.
/var/adm/lastlog Last login times.
$HOME/.plan User's plans.
$HOME/.project User's projects.
USAGE
fingerd and in.fingerd are IPv6-enabled. See ip6(7P).

NOTES
Connecting directly to the server from a TIP or an equally narrow-minded TELNET-protocol user program can result in meaningless attempts at
option negotiation being sent to the server, which foul up the command line interpretation. fingerd should be taught to filter out IAC's
and perhaps even respond negatively (IAC does not) to all option commands received.
The in.fingerd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/network/finger:default
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil-
ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config-
uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
