Old bug.

My dbora init.d(4) script invokes dbstart like this:
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ksh $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart"

You can do similar in smf(5) machinery.

RTFM lpadmin(1M)
Removing a Printer Destination
The -x dest option removes the destination dest (a printer
or a class), from the LP print service. If dest is a printer
and is the only member of a class, then the class is
deleted, too. If dest is all, all printers and classes are
removed. If there are no remaining local printers and the
scheduler is still running, the scheduler is shut down.

Assuming Solaris 9 supports VMWare, you could boot the Solaris 9 ISO,
restore UFS dumps of your production system to the VMWare virtual disk
image and then update the device paths per the FAQ.

I think the Solaris marketing wonks see Indiana as the volume
operating system for developers, content creators, early adopters
and those who don't want to buy support contracts.

I only have access to one Redhat Enterprise Linux installation and
up2date is bound to an annual support subscription.
Are RHEL security fixes available without a subscription or does
one need to run Fedora?
Or are you referring to a different Linux distribution?

You had to periodically run pca with --update=check as Sun
would break the "wget" interfaces.

Redhat could try to kill Fedora, but I'm not sure how that benefits
them.
Of course, Larry Ellison might see a profit in trying to kill Solaris
that I don't see.

Those people will either need to buy a support subscription for
Solaris (or not and just live without patches) or install OpenSolaris
or *BSD or *Linux and self-support.

What's more compelling about those distros over OpenSolaris?
Do they have better ISV support?

Most of the wireless driver work was done for Indiana and Nevada.

I know that early versions of ath(7D) work with Solaris 10, but
don't think many other WiFi drivers have been backported.
<URL:http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+laptop/ath>

You should be able to find PCI cards with the Atheros chipset on eBay.

Alternatively, you can try booting the LiveCD of the development
preview of OpenSolaris 2010.03 and see if rum(7D) attaches.

They don't exist for Solaris 10. You'll need to upgrade to

Agreed.

Depending on the OP's data size, a Western Digital Passport
might be sufficient.

However, if I needed an optical media writer for some other purpose,

Martin Paul's Patch Check Advanced (PCA) will show you if your
system has all recommended and security Solaris patches applied.
<URL:http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/>

It will also helpfully allow you to fetch and install those
patches, at least when Larry Ellison and company aren't breaking
patch access for customers.

No.
pca will work against sneakernet outputs of uname(1), pkginfo(1) and
showrev(1M). See the -f option.

You can sneakernet the patches and patchdiag.xref back to your host
and use pca to apply them from your own patch repo.

Oracle uses Adobe Flash for Metalink. (Un)fortunately Adobe is
still supporting Firefox 2.x so we don't have that leverage.

Is there an RFE to backport firefox v3 to a future Solaris 10
update?

Maybe there's some other customers that need a more modern
firefox for Solaris 10.

Indiana isn't ready to replace Solaris 10 and Solaris 10 updates will
be required for the upcoming systems.

Oracle can drop the more modern versions in /usr/sfw/lib or similar.

I use this URL to get Oracle's SFWfirefox packages for S10 and Indiana.

I symbolically link the Flash and JDK 6 plugins from
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins and /usr/java/jre/lib/i386/ to /opt/sfw.

If you have wisely run "netservices limited" and then opened
sendmail for remote connections, you'll need to reconfigure
that service after applying that patch:
# svccfg -s sendmail setprop config/local_only = false
# svcadm refresh sendmail
# svcadm restart sendmail

Its a bug, not a feature that the behaviour is not documented in
the README.

IANAL nor a barrister but I assume that Oracle cannot change the
EULA that you and Sun previously agreed to.

If you're worried, you should consult yours.

What applications are your running on those antiques?

Combined with a *BSD ZFS implementation, it might extend the
useful life of the box for the OP.
