@matrixmadhan
Thank you for taking the time to read my post! Just thought that many of us have experienced similar situation at the dawn of their careers.
@spynappels
Yes, to end users we are all same. When we try to tell that it's not our issue exactly and some other team has to work on that, they think we are just giving "excuse" to get away. That hurts!
My intention in this case was not show off how capable I was. I just wanted to make up for the other teams ignorance as I know how it goes to the end users when something important does not work. I am an end user too for my companies IT team (yes they have separate IT team which takes care of internal infrastructure) and it would be really difficult for me to work if a proxy server or a terminal server, which gives us access to the client's infrastructure, goes down!
However, I have learned it hard way and have sworn that I will never repeat such crazy deed.

wnnaccess
wnnaccess(1M) System Administration Commands wnnaccess(1M) NAME
wnnaccess - Access control over Wnn6 Kana-Kanji conversion server/dictionary lookup server SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/wnnaccess [-D jserver_name] [-ds wnnds_name] [-L LANG_name] [ -| + [hostname | username] ] DESCRIPTION
wnnaccess adds or deletes hosts and users, obtains the current access control information, enables or disables access control for access permission retained by the Wnn6 Kana-Kanji conversion server/dictionary lookup server. OPTIONS
The following options are available. -D jserver_name Specifies the Wnn6 Kana-Kanji conversion server (jserver) to work on. If this option is omitted, wnnaccess refers to the serverdefs file and determines the Kana-Kanji conversion server to work on. The Kana-Kanji conversion server must be specified in the following format. hostname Kana-Kanji conversion server that uses the well-known port number(22273) on host hostname hostname:no Kana-Kanji conversion server that uses port number of " the well-known port number plus no" on host host- name hostname/port_noKana-Kanji conversion server that uses port_no as port number on host hostname -ds wnnds_name Specifies the Wnn6 dictionary lookup server (wnnds) to work on. The dictionary lookup server must be specified in the following format. hostname Dictionary lookup server that uses the well-known port number(26208) on host hostname hostname:no Dictionary lookup server that uses port number of "the well-known port number plus no" on host hostname hostname/port_noDictionary lookup server that uses port_no as port number on host hostname -L LANG_name Specifies the language. The language is used to refer to the serverdefs file and determine the server to connect. Specify ja for the Solaris releases (Japanese version). If no options are specified, wnnaccess writes the current access control information. The first line shows the current status of access control enabled or disabled. The second and following lines show hosts and users that are given access rights as in any of the following formats: host-name All users can access from this host. host-name: No users can access from this host. host-name:user-name,user-name,..Only users shown in the list can access from this host. @user-name This user can access from any host. Specifying - option only enables access control. Specifying + option only disables access control. If access control is disabled, no restriction is imposed on connection to the server. If + option and hostname| username are specified, the host or user will be added to the access control. If - option and hostname| username are specified, the host or user will be deleted from the access control. The format of hostname| username is the same as in displaying the current access control information. If neither - nor + option is specified, the behavior will be the same as in specifying + option.
