Having been a Solaris sysadmin for quite some time in my professional environment but playing with mostly Linux at home, I am now THRILLED to be able to download Solaris 10 to install on a system at home. For now I'm just installing the x86 version on some old hardware (PII/500MHz) but when ...

Previously in Solaris 9 when using DHCP with a MS DHCP server I could modify /etc/init.d/network to make the system show it's hostname instead of unkown. This file is missing with Solaris 10 and my console name is unknown.The proper system name is registering with the DHCP server and DNS.How ...

I am using LDAP to mount remote folders in /a, /u, and /g. With Solaris 9 root can access all of them without issue. WIth Solaris 10 this appears to be really hit and miss.The Permissions are at least 555 with root as owner, with SOlaris 10 I get access denied.

The man page for kdc.conf and the online doc. both say that "the unbundled Strong Cryptographic packages must be installed for the aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96:normal enctype to be available for Kerberos." Does anyone know where I can find these packages for Solaris 10? I found some for Solaris 9 ...

I ditched my perfectly running 5.9 system (actually formatted it after backing up user data) for s10_69 because I thought that was the final release.I'm having tons of problems with it. I'm wondering why Solaris 10 is advertised on the Sun product page (with a link to the download) if it's ...

Downloaded Solaris 10, burned to CD, disc at once/96 and the CD was not recognised. Erased/burned disc at once, the install process started and continued about half way then froze as though caught in a loop. I attempted re-installing but it was a repeat performance!
