All,

Thanks for all the suggestions, and yes I just did a poweroff with ipmitool ...
Probably not such a good idea, however I really didn't expect this.

I will try to reproduce the problem, since this system has been reinstalled with solaris 10 for testing purposes.

Hi Paul --

Try logging into the system with root and no password. This should work
since you are in maintenance mode.

It indicates that the network/netcfg service failed, so it would be useful to
see what the log for that service says. The svcs -l network/netcfg command
will provide you the location to the log.

thanks,
ginnie

All,

Trying to convert my b175 system from NIS to LDAP, I think I screwed up big time, not really a problem, just fix it later. However, I had to power off the system, and it came back with a bunch of services that are pretty much in maintenance mode. No problem at all you would think, well it is.

On the console:

rebooting...

Bummer! Did I really change that much ? You would think that if your are in maintenance mode or single user mode, it would skip all the pam crap, and revert to the plain old basic login scheme, like root and the root password ...

Oh, or did I run into a console-login bug ...

Lost again ..

Paul
