Console-login in maintainance mode
I have a v490 server running Solaris 10.
Everytime I reboot this machine, the console-login service goes to maintainance mode and I have to provide the root password. All the other dependencies are running fine and nothing there in the logs too. To bring it online, I have to enable it manually.
It was working before. Any ideas?
