Hi,
I got hold of a SUN SPARCstation Voyager today, but I don't have the root password. I made a linux bootdisk and tried to sue that to edit the shadow file, but it comes up saying "magic number" (since it's not a UFS floppy).
I haven't got any recovery disks for it, and no documentation.

Hey guys...hopefully this will be a fairly easy one.
I've got an old SPARCstation 5 running Sun 5.5.1 that I just hooked up to the network so that I can run HP OpenView. The box is working fine, but it is broadcasting as a boot server. In other words, when co-workers come in and get ready to log... (2 Replies)

I apologize in advance that this is probably more of a hardware question than a unix/software one.
I've got a seemingly brand-new sparcstation 20 that came with 2 memory modules and that's about it.
I've added a new 2 GB HDD and a VSIMM Onboard SX Graphics module.
So, I assume with the... (2 Replies)

I am away from my Unix sparcstation and need to work on it remotely via a

We have an ancient Sparcstation 5 for those few clients that still run SunOS or Solaris. After the last power outage (4 years ago?) we never turned it back on. It had been making some unpleasant noises back then, too.
Now we need it again and it won't boot.

XFLIP(6) Games Manual XFLIP(6)
NAME
xflip, meltdown - astonish your friends with interesting X effects
SYNOPSIS
xflip [-planes] [-vert] [-oblic] [-fast | -random] [-times number] [-display displayname]
meltdown [-planes] [-display displayname] [-delay x] [-wait n | -wait 0]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xflip, and meltdown commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
(but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.
The programs play with the X display, producing some interesting effects. One traditional use of these commands is to have them run and
affect someone else's X display, as a practical joke.
OPTIONS
-display displayname
The X display to operate on.
-planes
Operate on a singleplane at a time.
-vert Flip the screen vertically.
-oblic Flip the screen vertically and horizontally at the same time.
-random
Flip small random peices of the screen instead of the while display.
-times number
Specifies the number of peices of the screen to flip when -random is used. Default is 300.
-delay x
Meltdown may run too fast on fast computers to be fully appreciated; this can be used to slow it down. If specified, every x times
the display is updated, a 1 microsecond delay will be inserted. The default is no delay at all. Reasonable values for x are in the
20 to 200 range.
-wait n
Makes meltdown wait for n seconds after the screen is totally black. If you pass 0 to -wait, it will wait until you press a key or
mouse button.
