UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I have a SPARCstation 10 with SunOS 5.6

This erlier was in a network and now I have it at home to make a webserver.

At fist there was NIS and things left from erlier. So the "Console login:" newer appered only the white window with sun logo topleft and some text info.

I made "sys-unconfig" ad gott rid of this and deleted some files.

Now when I boot the "console login:" appears. But if I try to login (anny name) I gett this message,
tmchild: exec service failed, errno = 13"


Also if the computer stands some error messages is written.

"
Jan 28 15:19:26 sparc snmpXdmid: svc_tp_create: Could not register prog 100249 vers 1 on udp
Jan 28 15:21:25 sparc server[315]: svc_tp_create: Coould not register prog 300598 vers 1 on udp
...
...
...
Jan 28 15:27:26 sparc snmpXdmid: Failed to register callbac error = 9
Jan 28 15:27:26 sparc snmpXdmid: Initialization failed. Return code = 90.

Jan 28 15:29:25 sparc server[315]: unable to create (DMI2_SERVER, DMI2_SERVER_VERSION) for netpath.
"

what is this problem? what can I do?

thanx/

Suggest you boot into single user mode and move any startup scripts you don't need out of the way.

After booting single user and logging in as root, cd to /etc/rc2.d and /etc/rc3.d. Move any startup files (they begin with S) you don't need to lowercase s and the file name.

Check /etc/inittab to insure nothing was added to it (you should be able to tell if it's attempting to run something out of /opt). Doubt it but you should check.

Check cron entries also.

You can boot single user and then run each and every S* script individually to see which ones are causing you problems.

If you can't even login while booting single user, post the errors or what you see.

The singleuser mode is running fine...

I'm a newbie on this, so how do I run the S scripts?

Thanks.

OK I did pu al the S files in a other dir. And now I'm not geting any of the error messages like "" but I'm still not able to login. "sparc console login:" and what ever name I write the response is "tmchild: exec service failed, errno = 13"

I'm trying to login as root... Do I need to setup users?

Be specific about what you are doing - did you move all the S files or just the ones you didn't think you needed? If you moved all the S files, then you will never get this to work.

To answer the earlier question about running S files -

# cd /etc/rc2.d
# ./S69inet start

Check that /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin exist - try running it after booting into single user and running each S script in order (lower number to higher number - 01 to 99)

And if you are just starting to set this up as a web server, it may be faster to just reload the OS.

Hi

I'm sorry my answers/questions is in fragments... but I'll try to make this one as good as I can. Relay apriciate the help!


I did move all the S files...
I did also look for opt and inittab, but nothing... So now I'll try the different S files.

yes reload the OS would surly be a good way. But how? I dont have a CD drive for the sun. and I havent gott anny disks with OS anny way... I do have a Mac runnig Mac OS X so I did think of making a net boot... and maby be able to insall new OS from the Mac... Is this possible?


I will now start single user and try the different S files... Bur how do I know if the S file work? I gett error message if it does not right?

btw about /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin, it does not exist.
