Solaris

Hi Discussion in this thread was very useful for me i was able to solve the problem i was facing with Solaris 10 and SSH (remote root login). But this think this thread did not contain how to restart sshd on Solaris....i did search for that ....but i found the answer
wanted to post that answer..so that it would be helpful to future viewers

To restart sshd on sorlaris 10 execute the command:

/lib/svc/method/sshd restart

@BG_JrAdmin
Use svcadm to restart services, in this case it is:
svcadm disable ssh or svcadm enable ssh

Not sure if you use ssh or sshd, anyway this thing works as i have personally used this. Also for telnet you can use svcadm enable telnet....Remember that root cannot login using telnet by default coz of plain text authentication, so use a normal user during telnet then su to root user.

At times you know.. svcadm disable/enable ssh will still show that the service is offline. Even the inetd you wont be able to restart. In this type of situation, what will you do?

I have not encountered such situation...even if i come across...i will post it here...u guys are here right....

Yes bro, I think you won't believe me.. I have experienced that ssh not starting stubbornly it in Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 too..

i've seen plenty of what incredible talks about with ssh (and other services as well... mostly manifest written by me ).

you can always check /var/svc/manifest/*/<script.xml> and see where the start script is such as /lib/svc/method/<script> and try from there. or go even further to the main executable to start/stop/refresh the service.

I believe you dude ....coz there are many things I have still not encountered...my tryst with solaris started this march, before that I worked in unix and linux only...So I am keeping my options open...
