Hi,

I did get them too. Though about someone trying to hack
around, but didn't recognize anything else ...

I believe this is a hack attempt aimed at port 515. There was a post
relating to this on sunmanagers this morning if I recall correctly. I'll see
if I've still got the post.

Hi, several hundred of these console messages (per computer) showed up 
on about half (7)
of our Solaris2.6 & 2.7 machines last night. Not all were at the same time
and it appears that the string echoed changes for each instance.

Any ideas.

You need to be running Solaris 8 10/00 or later to use disks larger than
about 32GB on the Ultra 5/10.  Versions earlier than that will only use 80GB
modulo 32GB or roughly 14GB of the disk which is what you're seeing.

Anything funny with /bin/sh is usually an attempt at an exploit. I 
suspect that it's an x86 Linux exploit --- I'm seeing a lot of them at 
the moment, and yes that does include SPARC boxes. I suspect that it's 
one of the Linux worms out there.

Someone is trying to crack your systems via buffer overflow and shell
code.  Notice the /bin/sh at the nonsense string.

You must upgrade to Solaris 8 10/00 or later, which contains a fix for =
the IDE
size limit.

To change the resolution order an NT machine uses have a look at...

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q139/2/70.ASP

... but reading back through this thread the problem seems to be that
there's no entry for the NT host on the DNS server.

NT box and unix box both point at the same DNS server. NT box can
ping/resolve itself based on hostname.domain, the unix box can't
ping/resolve the NT box based on hostname.domain.

It appears that you either need to add an ip -> name mapping for the NT box
to the DNS or in /etc/hosts on the unix box.

Strange. Your "set maxusers =40" in /etc/system is commented out so that's
not the problem. And Nicholas has pointed out the MAXUID isn't the problem
either.

When you say the new users aren't added do you mean there are no home areas
for them in /export/home or are they just not appearing at all in
/etc/passwd ? Is there anything in /var/adm/messages or the syslog ?

Hello All,
I want to be able to toggle between terminal sessions on my Solaris
systems (text-base only) just like I did on Linux systems with Alt-F1,
Alt-F2,... . How do I  do that?

Thanks in advance

No Gurus here, only us users...

But anyway, du gives you the disk usage, i.e. the space that the files on
the filesystem currently require. I assume that you calculate the amount
of "supposed" free space by comparing the output of du to the total FS size.

Be aware however, that Solaris - like any other UNIX - by default reserves
a given percentage of disk space for superuser use only. Using df -k will
give you the free space in kilobytes _without_ the space reserved for the
root user. Thus adding up the used and avail fields will yield a total of
less than the total kbytes field. Capacity will show 100% while the minfree
of, say, 5% may still be free but not available to a "normal" user.

If the difference actually proves to be 1GB, your FS must be HUGE (or your
system default minfree parameter screwed...) ;-)

Hope that helps,

Jerry

It's also useful to account for a process which has space allocated but =
not
actually used.
A quick look at the filesystem with lsof might be enlightening.

Subject: [SunHELP] adding a disk  to an ultra10
Reply-To: sunhelp at sunhelp.org

Hi,
I am trying to install an 80GB disk on an ultra10
running solaris 7.  The disk (ide maxtor) is recognized
by the system but it thinks that it is only 13.33 GB
when I look at the partition table in format.  Is my next step
to make a new partition table that is correct and format the disk
or do i have to upgrade the sun somehow.  I believe i heard of
this happening before to an ultra5.  Please help.
I have been looking everywhere for info and I come up with nothing.
regards,
chrissy

Does anyone have a recommendation for a rack mountable, DLT autoloader? 
We need a 4-7 tape loader, which will work with both Solaris and 
Windows NT. Anyone have any good suggestions please email me off list. 
Thanks.

You can not do this with Solaris. However, there is a GNU utility which
allows you to do this. The utility is called 'screen', which can be
downloaded from ftp.sunfreeware.com. 

Cheers,

If you can afford them, ATL units are excellent.  My employer uses STK
quite heavily and is pleased, but I still like ATL.  I'm about to try an
old Sun 4700 under Solaris and NT, so I'll report back on how well older
units like that (I'm pretty sure it's a relabeled Quantum) work.

Hi, several hundred of these console messages (per computer) showed up

and it appears that the string echoed changes for each instance.

Any ideas.
