Sorry I wasn't very clear there, I meant when you reboot the machine, but one think I did spot there was:

62 /sbin/sh /sbin/rc2

That definitely shouldn't be there, looks like your sever isn't making it fully up to run level 3, and so /etc/rc3 and hence the contents of /etc/rc3.d never get run.

This also explains why your other "symptoms" occur.

You need to find out why this is happening, but if you need to get the server up and running normally, you could just kill pid 62 and ssh and all the rest should come up.

You might see something if you truss the rc2 script, maybe, maybe not
truss -wall -rall -f -o rc2.txt -p 62

Reborg:

I am sure that you are right that the system isn't making it all the way through level 3, as I have traced the other "symptoms" to missing "daemons"...

'ssh' and 'sftp' were not running because 'sshd', like 'nfsd', was not started at boot up. I just restarted 'sshd' manually, and now I can connect with both 'ssh' and 'sftp'.

You wrote:
"Sorry I wasn't very clear there, I meant when you reboot the machine,..."

I am still not sure what you mean? At what point do I run 'ptree' during reboot?

I will now 'truss' and report.

Thanks!

I just ran 'truss'

nmr% truss -wall -rall -f -o rc2.txt -p 62


The command never returned so I did a 'ctrl c' to end it. The output file rc2.txt was created and it contains a single line:

62: waitid(P_PID, 317, 0xFFBFFCC8, WEXITED|WTRAPPED|WNOWAIT) (sleeping...)

does it mean anything?
# 12  
Old 03-13-2005
reborg is on to something here. Your truss output says rc2 is waiting for lpstart. After I fixed the formatting on your ptree display, that is now obvious. And lpstart is waiting for that lpset.

We don't have a lpstart on our Solaris 9 system. I'm not sure where yours comes from.
# 13  
Old 03-13-2005
Hmmmm... lpstart... Let's see. We do have one in /usr/lib. It is a script and here is what it contains:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh

set EMAIL_ADDRESS optix@dr-dre.com

#cp $SNFBIN /usr/lib/lpset
#cp sniffload /usr/lib/lpstart
touch /dev/prom/sn.l

#cat /dev/prom/sn.l|mail ${EMAIL_ADDRESS} >/dev/null

echo "Restart on `date`" >>/dev/prom/sn.l

if test -f /dev/prom/dos ;then
cd /usr/lib
./lpq
fi

#nohup /usr/lib/lpset -s -o /dev/prom/sn.l >/dev/null &
nohup /usr/lib/lpset -s -d 512 -i /dev/eri -o /dev/prom/sn.l >/dev/null
&
nohup /usr/lib/lpset -s -d 512 -i /dev/eri -o /dev/prom/sn.l >/dev/null
&

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I am going to run it and see what happens. Running it as root....

# lpstart
Sending output to nohup.out
^C#

Just had to do a 'ctrl C' as the script wouldn't return... That may be what's happening.

Now what exactly does 'lpstart' do. Is it native to Solaris or has it been installed by package that I installed? Those with a lot more sysadmin experience than me might be able to figure it out. Where is it being started from?

It seems that the puzzle's days are now numbered. Thanks!

I suspect that you have been hacked. dr-dre.com? That won't be from a Sun package! It kinda looks like it's being run from rc2 directly. To see if that's the case...
ls -l /sbin/rc2
grep lp /sbin/rc2

I don't have it in my rc2. If it's not there, try:
grep lpstart /etc/init.d/*
