Hi friends,
I am new to Solaris, I have just managed to install Solaris 10 under VirtualBox. As I use the system, I constantly get some very disturbing error messages on my screen, I hope you will help me remove them. Messages are
Code:
# syslogd: line 24: WARNING: loghost could not be resolved
Sep 4 15:15:42 unknown sendmail[563]: My unqualified host name (unknown) unknown; sleeping for retry
# Sep 4 15:15:43 unknown sendmail[563]: My unqualified host name (unknown) -- using short name
Sep 4 15:15:43 unkown senmail[563] [ID 702911 mail.alert] unable to qualify my own domain name (unknown) -- using short name
Sometimes, I get the message that the filesystem is full, while I have lots of space, more than 30GB, what could be wrong with that?
Most of space goes to home directory by default so you must reinstall Solaris because there is no way to allocate more space to the / device, you could try with gparted and UFS support, never tried. If you gonna to reinstall Solaris use ZFS because UFS is no longer supported by the Oracle Corporation.
For the sendmail, you must configure sendmail server or you can disable it using SMF.
About the alias, just add loghost to the localhost line:
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost

There is certainly a way, but it's not at all simple. gparted isn't required.

I agree about the ZFS suggestion. ZFS would have avoided the suboptimal partition sizing. However, your UFS support comment is misleading. UFS will remain supported with Solaris 10 for the root file system and others. Solaris 11 Express indeed requires root ZFS but hopefully still supports UFS for data file systems.

Code:
svcadm disable sendmail
or just keep sendmail enabled. The default configuration allows local mail delivery which can still be useful.
As mentioned by others earlier, use ZFS. Also, your file systems are far too small. That's probably why you're running out of disk space on /. Even in a virtual machine set aside at least 20 gigs for root and for /var. That way later on you're not running into problems with disk space.
Dears,
Need you help with the below file manipulation. I want to split the file into 8 smaller files but without cutting/disturbing the entries (meaning every small file should start with a entry and end with an empty line). It will be helpful if you can provide a one liner command for this... (12 Replies)
I wonder string constant exists permanently or temporary.
For example,
printf("hello, world");
the function printf access to it is through a pointer. Does it mean storage is allocated for the string constant to exist permanently in memory? :confused: (4 Replies)

I'm not sure how to best explain what I'd like to do, so let me give an example. I used to work in a department that deals with internet security. This department had an "internal" website (only people in the building can get on it) and an "external" website (anyone in the world can get on it --... (1 Reply)
I have a requirement to close all the file descriptors from 3 to 1024 for a particular application.
Right now, this is how I do it ..
for ( int i = 3 ; i <= 1024; ++i )
close(i);
The change I am looking at is, I want to do away with the number 1024 and replace it with a constant which... (4 Replies)
