Well i have only run a few commands, but apparently enough to screw something up. Solaris won't let me in to NETWORK settings now. When I try a lil window pops up asking for a 'user' or 'role'. If I put my username in it disappears but the settings don't come up. If I enter root it ask for a password.
I was looking at 'USER MANAGER' and it has my user listed as 'STAFF'. Not only can I not change the group or permissions for 'STAFF', I can't add a new user. It says I'm not authorized.
I think I'll delete the partition and re-install. Then I take a closer look at "rolemod" and single user boot.
Did re-install but it didn't improve much. I still can't change my user or create new user. I can get to network settings now but it won't klet me make changes. I can log on to the router but when I go to places/network/windows network it says "failed to retrieve share list from server". Looks like I'm going to have to learn 'ipadm' and 'dladm' commnads. Doesn't make since that I can't do this from the console.
I tried the temp solution because /boot/grub didn't have a menu.lst file. My GBL didn't look like the one in the link. But I did find a line that mentioned multiboot and added a space and "-s" to the end of it and pressed F10. It booted to service maintenance something? and dropped me at a root# prompt. Not knowing what to do I entered "exit" CR. then it requested that I log on to console. I was still blocked from areas in the console.
The grub.cfg file contains most of the GRUB configuration. An additional, editable file named custom.cfg can be used if you want to add more complex constructs, for example, menu entries or other scripting, to the GRUB configuration. This file does not exist on the system by default. You must create the file, and it must reside in the same location as the grub.cfg and menu.conf files, which is in /pool-name/boot/grub/. GRUB processes the commands and any customizations that are in the custom.cfg file through the following code that is located at the end of the grub.cfg file: "
But it doesn't help until I know how to use it. Going to see if I can change my user permissions.

This is the ``prompt''. If you entered you username, or your password incorrectly, you will be greeted by:

lpt
LPT(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual LPT(4)NAME
lpt -- generic printer device driver
SYNOPSIS
device ppc
device ppbus
device lpt
DESCRIPTION
The current lpt driver is the port of the original lpt driver to the ppbus(4) system.
One purpose of this port was to allow parallel port sharing with other parallel devices. Secondly, inb()/outb() calls have been replaced by
ppbus function calls. lpt is now arch-independent thanks to the ppbus interface. See ppbus(4) for more info about the ppbus system.
The parallel port bus is allocated by lpt when the printer device is opened and released only when the transfer is completed: either when the
device is closed or when the entire buffer is sent in interrupt driven mode.
The driver can be configured to be either interrupt-driven, or to poll the printer. Ports that are configured to be interrupt-driven can be
switched to polled mode by using the lptcontrol(8) command.
Depending on your hardware, extended capabilities may be configured with the lptcontrol(8) command. With an ECP/ISA port, you can take
advantage of FIFO and DMA.
In order to retrieve printer info from /dev/lpt0, just apply the cat command to the device. If the printer supports IEEE1284 nibble mode and
has data to send to the host, you will get it.
FILES
/dev/lpt0 first parallel port driver
SEE ALSO ppbus(4), ppc(4), lptcontrol(8)HISTORY
This driver replaces the functionality of the lpa driver, which is now defunct.
BUGS
There are lots of them, especially in cheap parallel port implementations.
It is only possible to open a lpt port when a printer is connected and on-line, making it impossible to run lptcontrol(8) when there is no
printer connected.
This driver could still stand a rewrite.
