dude,

he didn't mention anything about nfs, automapping, or the such. he wanted to know why he was getting different information when he looked in /export/apps and /apps. the answer is simple:...

no they don't, if he has set his router up correctly. he has to make sure that if he is NOT using static routes in his router configuration that he is using a routing protocol that supports VLSM,...

I would start with www.sun.com/bigadmin

it looks as though that portion of the software didn't load. not sure what version of solaris you are using, but if you don't load the documentation CD you won't get the man pages (even though the...

read the man pages on ufsdump and ufsrestore. this should do it. if not, email me and I'll send you some labs I use in the class room specifically for this purpose.

In Solaris, a user can belong to multiple groups: 1 primary group and 15 secondary groups by default. However, the number of groups a person can belong to is set by the kernel parameter called...

try typing "init S" at the command prompt.

say you have the man pages on host A. From host A, share or export the man pages across the network.

on the other systems, use the mount command to mount the man pages from host A to a mount point...

whom are you trying to telnet as? if you try to telnet from W2K to a solaris box, it will ask you for a login and a password. You can't use "root" with telnet unless the CONSOLE variable in...

try:

ls -al | sort -rn +4

this does a reverse numerical sort by file size. hope this helps.

That SUNLITE program: is it free with the desktop version or the server version? Either way, do you know the packages associated with it? Any help is greatly appreciated. I wasn't aware it was on...

go to ebay.com and do a search for "solaris." a lot of people/companies have sun boxes for sale that are very affordable for home. I picked up a Sun ultra 60 for less that $500.

hope this helps.

you're sort of playing with fire if you use a .rhosts file in the users home directory. the preference is to use the /etc/hosts.equiv file, specifying the host and user. that way, only that user from...

also check the /etc/services file.

what operating system? if it is solaris, then you can set up a specific "role" for the users to use by incorporating RBAC.

regardless of what you decide, a good ol' fashioned parsing script placed into the crontab works wonders. completely hands off if done correctly.

either way, make sure you do it when the least amount of people are accessing your server (after business hours). that way, if something goes wrond you have all night to fix it

does the 28gb partition have data on it? if not, then run the format utility and partition it that way. if so, back up your data using ufsdump, rebuild, then restore the data back using ufsrestore.

in solaris, make sure you have reconfigured your kernel to "see" the external device by using one of these methods once the device is attached:

1. at the ok prompt: boot -r

2. touch...

I appreciate the help. I guess I should have followed my instincts in assuming that data IS stored in contiguous data blocks.

thanks to all.

When discussing inodes and data blocks, I know Solaris creates these data blocks with a total size of 8192b, divided into eight 1024b "fragments." It stores data in "contiguous" fragments and solaris...

sometimes in Solaris 8 when I go to mount filesystems using either the mount command or by editing the /etc/vfstab, i get a nice little error message saying the the number of allowable mount points...

chown user:group file

for example:

chown tomcat:tomcat file

if tomcat is a directory, you can do a recusive owner change like this:

chown -r user:group file

hope this helps.

first of all, the example you gave is incorrect. if the first octet of the ip address starts with 192, then it is a class C address, not a class B. This means that the mask is 255.255.255.0 by...

You will need to reconfigure your NIC using the "ifconfig" command. If you are unsure about this command, then the man page offers great information.

hope this helps.
