svc.startd[7] rpcbind misconfigured
in [Solaris]
|
Prev: CDE: on xp, alt-tab pops up box of icons, easy choice. CDE did too, but stopped.
Next: zfs snapshots for TAPE backup: 1: must be of entire pool? 2: if yes, then need TWICE as much disk?

If a bootable system makes you happy, fine! Did the OP say that the system was unbootable? Or that he couldn't log in? I must have missed that. -- Brandon Hume - hume -> BOFH.Ca, http://WWW.BOFH.Ca/

Gilbert on 19 Feb 2010 10:58 <original context restored> I tried to refresh the rpcbind service with this command #svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/bin:default #svcadm enable svc:/network/rpc/bin:default But I got this message : svc.startd[7]:network/rpc/bind:default misconfigured : transitioned to maintenance hume.spamfilter(a)bofh.ca wrote: > Richard B.

Booting from the CD/DVD, as I suggested, gives you a minimal system that should run on just about any supported hardware configuration and, perhaps, unsupported configurations as well. You have some assurance that the minimal O/S you have booted is free from viruses, worms, and maybe even configuration errors. It gives you root access to the system and any attached devices for which drivers are available. It is an occasionally useful technique but not the solution to every problem. |
