Reply-To: sunhelp at sunhelp.org

Good Morning All

I have a Ultra 1 that I purchased referb a couple of years ago. It has
always booted to the 32 bit kernel even
with the 64 bit version of Solaris 8 installed.

I have scanned docs.sun.com  for an openboot fix ,but with no results.

Am I looking in the correct area (openboot) or is this a firmware issue.

Thank You in advance

Keep in mind that /platform/'arch -k'/kernel/sparcv9
must exist, or else you haven't installed the 64 bit goodness of Solaris.

Suggest changing /etc/system to read

set pts_cnt = 1024

Sounds like you have lots of eager users.

Subject: [SunHELP] /dev/pts problem

Hello all,

Does anyone knows why sometimes users receiving
error "Unable to get pty" when they are trying
remotely login into server.

The server is running Solaris 7.
Within "/etc/system" we have line
" set pt_cnt = 512 ". Also if I do
"ls -al /dev/pts | wc"  I'm getting
exactly 512.

Permission on /usr/lib/pt_chmod is 4111.

And if I count "pts/N" thru command "who"
usually it's way below 512.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Ed

hi,

what options are available for hooking up a Sun E220R to a X.25 line, we
dont
want to run IP over it will connect to a remote machine that has a X.25
connection and uses a propriotry protocol.  We do have the ability to code
the
software ourselves, have done so for linux machines using some other cards,
my
question is what hardware is available for hooking up to a X.25 line to Sun
Servers.

thanks.

For Ultra-1 based platforms, 64bit kernels are disabled by default, even
when the 64bit packages are installed and you have a PROM that supports
64bit booting.

The issue is that in the UltraSPARC 1 CPU, there is a big that when a
certain (and rare) sequence of asembly functions are executed by the CPU,
the CPU can hang. The sequence of events that does this however is very,
very rare and not likely to happen by running normally-compile programs,
although a user with malicious intent can produce a asembly program with
the sequence and thus freeze your system.

So, in short, if this box of yours' wont have anyone besides you on it, or
the people other than you that have access to it you can trust, you can
enable 64bit booting by uncommenting the last line in the
/platform/sun4u/boot.conf file and rebooting.

I did somthing like this

ls -ali -> had the inode
the find / -xdev -inum number -exec rm {} \;
it doesn't shows up again when I do ls.
p.s. first i did copy into tmp and it was the same
thing but with other inode of course.
I'll keep an eye on the filesystem to see if it gets
into more problems. I think the file was created when
I tried to do a secure copy and I had the shell
freezed.

thank you.
