Hello managers,

Thanks for the introduction to the list and for very speedy answers.

To summarize:

1. How can one view a system log in Solaris 7? (similar to AIX's errpt).

/var/adm/messages seems to be the consensus.

2. On one of the machines that I maintain, rsh is being called via

scripts. Because of this, the former admin missed the password expiration

notices for root. The root password has expired. Is there anyway around

this ( the actual machine is remote - so I cant pop the solaris cd in

without traveling across country), short of a crack/hack?

I had to walk a person at the remote location through rebooting with the

installation CD in. We have since removed the password expiration off of

all root accounts.

Tony Brown
