X2200 SP passwd not accepting "&"

Please help me on the issue......

I am able to login to the GUI of the server?s SP with default username root and password changeme.
Only if the password has ?&? as one of the characters, it is not allowing me to login through GUI to SP console,
though with the same password I am able to login through CLI to SP console.

Help me to deal with svc please

Hello. I have Solaris 10 system wich runs dtlogin. I'd like to run it as SMF service. For this reason I've made
the  file  /var/svc/manifest/application/dtlogin.xml and moved standard rc script for dtlogin to /lib/svc/method/dtlogin.rc.

But sometimes dtlogin exits and its service falls into state "online*". If I set timeout of one minute it
falls into "maintenance" state. In logs I see the following: 

[ Mar 31 18:02:56 Executing stop method ("/lib/svc/method/dtlogin stop") ]
[ Mar 31 18:02:56 Method "stop" exited with status 0 ]
[ Mar 31 18:02:56 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/dtlogin start") ]
[ Mar 31 18:02:56 Method "start" exited with status 0 ]
[ Mar 31 18:02:56 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]
[ Mar 31 18:02:56 Executing stop method ("/lib/svc/method/dtlogin stop") ]
[ Mar 31 18:02:56 Method "stop" exited with status 0 ]
[ Mar 31 18:02:56 Restarting too quickly, changing state to maintenance ]
[ Apr  1 09:45:48 Leaving maintenance because clear requested. ]   //Turn on service by hands
[ Apr  1 09:45:48 Enabled. ]
[ Apr  1 09:45:48 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/dtlogin start") ] 
[ Apr  1 09:45:48 Method "start" exited with status 0 ]
[ Apr  1 09:55:31 Rereading configuration. ]
[ Apr  1 09:55:31 No 'refresh' method defined.  Treating as :true. ]
[ Apr  1 09:58:22 Rereading configuration. ]
[ Apr  1 09:58:22 No 'refresh' method defined.  Treating as :true. ]
[ Apr  1 10:07:14 Rereading configuration. ]
[ Apr  1 10:07:14 No 'refresh' method defined.  Treating as :true. ]
[ Apr  1 12:45:24 Stopping because process dumped core. ]
[ Apr  1 12:45:24 Executing stop method ("/lib/svc/method/dtlogin.rc stop") ]
[ Apr  1 12:45:26 Method "stop" exited with status 0 ]

Why not just install the Solaris 10 patch that provides a SMF manifest
for dtlogin, or update to S10 11/06 or later which includes that patch
already?

124393-06 CDE 1.6: Dtlogin smf patch

I think you'll also need:
119278-20 CDE 1.6: dtlogin patch

Upgrading Solaris 10 11/06

Hi all.
scenario:

1) Sun T1000 (with no cd/dvd driver) Solaris 11/06

2) Sun V215 cdrom shared through NFS to the T1000 with Solaris 10 08/07

On the T1000 I'd like to upgrade Solaris.
How do I do that? I tried to run the command installer but it install 
Live Upgrade packages and that's all.

Also is there another way to upgrade Solaris? Can I just install all the 
patches and suddenly it will be updated?

TIA

Fred

In practical terms, there's not a lot of difference between patching and
upgrading. (Unlike previous releases, where new features never got
released as patches, the S10 patches are more complete.)

As for upgrades, there are two routes. One is to run live upgrade (see
google, docs.sun.com, or man live_upgrade). The other is to set up the
V215 as a jumpstart server and boot the T1000 from it over the network,
which will allow you to do an upgrade or a fresh install.

Upgrading Solaris 10 11/06

Thanks.But as far as I remember I tried in a workstation with solaris 10
11/06 to put the solaris 08/07 dvd boot off from it and it asked me if I'd
like to upgrade Solaris or an fresh install.
Can I do that with a DVD mounted NFS and run a command?
I thought it was installer but didn't ask me so.

Solaris10 Samba not able to login from windowsXP

Hi I have installed one after the other various versions of Samba (3.0.22, 3.0.25 and 3.0.28) each of them
successfully install and svcadm shows the daemon as online. The testparm tool doesn't report any error
either. I have added users to the usr/local/samba/private/passwd file as well and the machine is in the
same subnet as a windows machine from where I am trying to access samba folders. In each of these
installations I consistently get errors that prevent me from viewing  the shared folders.
The output of smbclient is as follows: -
=================================
 smbclient -L localhost -U%

Solaris10 Samba not able to login from windowsXP

I managed to bring samba(ver 3.0.28a) up successfully. Version 3.0.25c which came with my installation CD
didn't work and I didn't bother to check why, but why the other 2 versions didn't work as well was because I
was careless enough to replace the binaries alone and not the libraries. Once i replaced the lib files
samba works really smooth and I'm able to connect from other machines.
Regards,
Bhaskar.

Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label pakage
Can't open boot device
I have changed the cdrom as well but still it gives the same error...
Could it be that the Software didnt properly burn on the cdrom?

Pardon me for jumping in here late...

Just as an off-hand guess, that is what it sounds like. How did you 
download and burn the disk?

As a side note, from your comments and trying to visualize what's 
happening, I think it is asking for an NIS server (on you network), not 
trying to start up the NIS server. It sounds like the system was used in 
an NIS environment (as an NIS client) by the previous owners and, rather 
than doing a clean wipe, they just borked the root file system.
