Hi all,

I've installed VMWareBSD using some boot files from FreeBSD 7.0. It's been installed and boots fine! But it's asking login info. I don't have any!!
If I use single user mode, it works...

Two internal drives are fiber channel and the storage box has SCSI drives...Thanks for the help, all of you!!

Oh...so the controller and the target are not related at all? I was told that t0 or t1 is something like a split cable (that you typically see in a desktop.. cable that connects HDD and/or cdrom or...

I always thought c=controller, t=target, d=disk, s=slice.
How exactly are they assigned? My internal drive is c0t1d0. But if I connect an external box, it jumps to c2t10d0, c2t11d0 etc. Is t=target?...

Is it supposed to show system1 because I remotely logged into...

Alright. Thanks jlliagre. I've got to check thoroughly then, after I get back to work.

Well, these two are test systems. I installed the OS myself on them. They have only ldap. The DNS and NIS are not set-up or configured! Could that be a reason?

Ok. But my /etc/hosts has these entries:

192.168.1.1 system1
192.168.1.2 system2

I'm not at work so I can't look at that hosts.eqiv for the next 12 hrs. I'll get back to you after that!

@jlliagre: .rhosts is fine. I need to check for the host.equiv

@Smiling Dragon: Reverse lookup fails on both!! How do I fix it??

Guys, I'm running solaris 9 on two systems: 1 and 2, let's say.

From 1, if I say rlogin 2, i can just login. No passwd prompt!
From 2, if I say rlogin 1, it asks for the passwd. (able to login...

Yep! Thanks kharjahn.

@jlliagre: I didn't edit the /etc/group file at all!! I was goofing around with the usermod command. When I opened the file the user name was not in the group.

@incredible: I am not deleting user...

@scrutinizer: Sure, there are several different ways to get that done, I just suggested most basic solution, which works with any shell/ any flavor.

@deindorfer: What are you suggesting to delete?...

Hey jlliagre,
I saw that the first time you posted.
Two issues:
1. I'm trying to find out if I can do it using usermod.
2. I have no clue how to edit the /etc/group to remove a user from there....

I don't recommend cut/paste. That screws up files sometimes if the files have ascii ending characters at the end of line

This always works for me :D Give it a shot
cat file1 file2 >> file3
:b:

Well, it's not working. That's why I ended up posting it here!! Let me rephrase my doubt. I don't want make the user a member of any secondary group. He should continue to be a member of the primary...

How do I remove a user from a group? I'm using the usermod command but its not working.
I have a user "abc" who is a member of the groups root and other. I'm trying to remove him from the group...

@gnom: I guess I didn't start the new shell properly. I do remember changing to ksh, so, I am assuming I screwed up the command!! Thanks anyway.

@frank_rizzo: I am just getting started and my man...

Ok, that's new! I'll check it out. Thanks though!
Here's another one, if you don't mind: I logged in as a normal user "ABC" then I did "su" to root. I tried to kill the pid of the user by saying...

@ghostdog74: I am teaching myself. I screwed up something while installing....the man pages are not working properly!! I don't have net access either to google it :(

@BeJay: I deserve a kick in...

Is there anyway that I can change permissions on a directory and all its sub-directories and files using one single "chmod" command??

I am running Solaris 9. I have a problem with kill command. I'm sort of teaching myself so this might be a really stupid thing. I logged in as a normal user, lets say ABC, and then did "su" to root....
