Hi,

In Solaris 10 8/07 the SMC cannot be found....in Solaris 10 8/07
I REALLY NEED to have the SMC and why it cannot find it when I type SMC as ROOT??? Or, also starting from the CDE Tools option when I right click on the desktop.

Its unable to find it for some reason. Why?? I had been running as ROOT for days now.

This new release is really starting to dissapoint me!!!!!!

What returns this command:
This is a poor practice.

I know I should I not thats why I need SMC to create a restricted account in the first place.
And I keep on getting SMC NOT FOUND...Or, THIS ACTION DOES NOT APPLY FOR NUMBER OF ARGUMENTS.

Ok,

During my Network setup I chose DHCP and DNS entering the correct DNS IP addresses and the Internet works great....As you can see for the Domain name, I entered NONE as I dont connect to any Domain name server....So I put NONE as for Domain.....Also for the HOST Name I entered NONE...

But why I cannot get the SMC Console opened up??? This is very very crucial for me as I want to create restricted user accounts...



After I did this command, I disabled SENDMAIL, TELNET AND RLOGIN....for security purposes....
Please let me know what to do next

You can do that easily with the useradd command first, then focus on your smc problem.
Try: /usr/sbin/smc
This error message seems unknown. Check for the precise (word by word) error you got.
The service looks okay. You could have care about what you was cutting/pasting and removed the unrelated console error message (in red).
As your dhcp server isn't providing a name to your server, you should do it yourself. "unknown" is a very poor hostname.
I don't know as you didn't provide enough information about what is going wrong.
SMC isn't required to do that.
That's a good practice.
Run /usr/sbin/smc and tell precisely what is going wrong.

I tried /usr/sbin/smc....Not ablt to locate it...
OHHHHH...Just an idea that MAY went bad during installation and MAYBE this is why because I selected CUSTOM AND USER-END PACKAGE INSTEAD OF FULL PACKAGES...Can this be the reason why SMC is not showing up???

OK, back to the diagnostics...

Following error messages first from COMMAND LINE CONSOLE:

Typed
# smc
:SMC NOT FOUND

Now, when I right clicked on the desktop, I went to tools and SMC and the following message occured.
EITHER SMC WAS NOT FOUND....OR THIS ACTION DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS NUMBER OF ARGUMENTS.

And all I can locate under /USR/SBIN/ is SMCWEBCONSOLE or something like that...but NOT SMC.

And under the TOOLS menu, it seems to have a LIGHNING BOLT ICON which I think its an executable file....

No need to investigate further, that is obviously the reason.

Ok, great....Well, I have the full package set of the Solaris 10 CDs 5 total...

Is there any way I can install the SMC??? Please....I need this...

Thanks for that useradd command....I did manage to add myself as a USER....

But is there anyway I can use one of the CDs form the set to install this thing???

The reason I choosed USER-END PACKAGES is because I was afraid that I will not have any space left...
There MUST be a way to reinstall SMC or I should I say..Install it from one of the 5 CDs....

If not...then I will not bother to fuss around with it...

But I need to know a few things after that USERADD COMMAND you gave...

1. I need password expiration of every 30 days.
2. MIN. password lenght of 8 chars...
3. Password age of 1 REMEMBERED password so users cannot revert back to the same one again.
4. Password history of 24 remembered....

Thats about it for now.....Next I will choose FULL INSTALLATION OR FULL PACKAGES from the custome screens...

Locate on which CD the SUNWmcc directory is located, cd to its parent directory then run "pkgadd SUNWmcc".

Oh and I forgot to mention that during the installation, it ONLY stopped the installation process at CD-4....It DID NOT ask me to insert CD-5 so I suppose its on CD-5...

Please correct me if Im wrong.

So when I locate that Install file, what are the commands in order to install SMC?

Please post the exact command.

It's not an install file but a directory.

Run the commands:

Hello,

It seems to be installed after I did that command and the installation was successful then I rebooted the laptop.
And now, it does not want to open the SMC console for some odd reason.

And when I did this command, it shows this message:

smc
/usr/sadm/lib/smc/bin/smc[11]: /usr/sadm/lib/smc/lib/functions: not found
#

And when I went to the /USR/SADM/LIB/SMC...The SMC Console icon is there, but it WILL NOT open or execute...Why???


And yes, I was right...It was CD 5....afterall.

NEVER MIND...And thanks as always for this huge help...

The SUNWmccom was required before installing SUNWmcc....

Now..it opened but it just hangs on CONFIRURING SERVER Starting the server for the first time may take a few minutes.Please allow configuration to continue until you see "Welcome to the Solaris Management Console.".....Also this:

No Solaris Management Console server was available on the specified server. Please ensure there is a Solaris Management Console server available on the specified host and that it is running.

for a half hour now...What should I do now??? Now it just hangs...

I was right...Theres a flaw in release 8/07 were SMC does not want to start.
Take a lok at this.

People should take a look at this carefully since theres a bug in this release regarding the SMC.

What returns "svcs -lp wbem" ?
Are you up-to-date with patches ?
