you could probably get away with just adding the new binary but you should always use patchadd. That way there is a record of it being installed. Use: # showrev -p to list all your installed patches. This comes in helpful when adding jumbo patches or maintenance updates. I think I just...

ok... the truss info was good! There is a bug that causes the process to go wild if your DHCP lease is for longer than 48 days - the fix is to set the lease to less than that. Let me get the info.. Bug ID: 4344914 Description: DHCP client hogs the CPU when leases are longer than roughly 48...

can you do the following at post the results of the /tmp/debugfile please? (Assuming dhcp is still not working) # script /tmp/debugfile # ifconfig hme0 # ifconfig hme0 dhcp start # ifconfig hme0 # /usr/ucb/ps -aux | head # ps -ef | grep dhcp # /usr/proc/bin/ptree <pid of dhcp> # exit...

you're correct - the file should be called hostname.hme0 not myhostnameiswhatever.hme0 I forgot, the /etc/inet/hosts file should also just have 127.0.0.1 localhost to begin with. Once it's working as it should, then you can add whatever else you need Trying to configure DHCP during...

after running sys-unconfig, you might want to select &quot;none&quot; for name-service when the boot-up asks you for your choice and then configure things by hand. # cd /etc # touch hostname.hme0 # touch dhcp.hme0 # touch resolv.conf (make sure all three are empty files) add &quot;dns&quot; to...

the ultra1 is a Sparc system right? Not intel. Why is your ethernet called eth0? Isn't there an onboard ethernet card? If you run # grep hme /etc/path_to_inst and # grep le /etc/path_to_inst it should say which it is (unless it's dead) Can't say I've ever used a non hme or le on Sparc...

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the process manager. If you're on a static IP, then resolv.conf should at least have a domain and a DNS server in the following format: domain somedomain.com nameserver 10.10.10.10 If you want to be a DHCP client, then leave resolv.conf empty (but make sure...

You don't need top. Solaris 8 comes with it's own version in called prstat /usr/bin/prstat or you could use /usr/ucb/ps -aux | head is your /etc/resolv.conf file empty? DHCP likes to put stuff in there. I am running Sol8 on an Ultra 10 with no issues. truss would be a good thing... run...

for printing, download HP's JetAdmin, it's a lot easier. Sun even list the link to it on SunSolve. And I agree with Sunner about the Sol8 installer. I couldn't install on a Netra T1 using it, but when I went with for the straight install, there were no problems
