Solaris: January 2012 Archives

What's the problem?
It is the nscd, the Name Service Cache Daemon.

What did I wrong?

Just because it happens again today:

After doing a very minimal Solaris 10 installation without remote services enabled, it is always the same thing to get the SSH server running (Solaris 10 DVD in drive):

# mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0 /mnt
# cd /mnt/Solaris_10/Product
# pkgadd -d . SUNWsshdr SUNWgssc SUNWgss SUNWsshcu SUNWuiu8 SUNWsshdu SUNWsshr SUNWsshu
# cd /etc/ssh
# ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f ssh_host_rsa_key
# ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048 -f ssh_host_dsa_key
# svcadm enable ssh

Replace device of the DVD drive with your actual configuration.
