IIRC the mac address reversal bug was fixed long ago. b86 that you are
running is quite old ( (99 - 86) * 2 ~= 26 weeks ). A fixed version
would not require the ifconfig ether hack.

Pinging remote hosts is likely a routing or firewall problem. Check your
default router (netstat -rn and /etc/defaultrouter) and verify that the
route in the reverse direction works.

As a tip, I'd suggest that saying "I am not able to ping" is
unhelpful. What actually happens? What error do you see, or is it none?
Does it take a long time? etc. etc.

What exactly does that mean?  The perfectly functional version in

This was a problem 15 years ago when I left the OS group and I see
it's still a problem today.  You OS guys need to understand that
most people experience desktop systems through the GUI.  If the
GUI for *your* feature doesn't work, it's the same as your feature
not working.

Yes, most of the time that's true.  But I learned long ago that it's
better to reboot than to spend hours and hours trying to diagnose
such problems.

Kind of sucks for an NFS server to change its IP address on every reboot.

Yes, I know, with sufficient cleverness and control over the DHCP server,
I can get it to hand out the same IP address every time.  I find it's
actually easier to configure the server itself.  And it's worked on all
previous OpenSolaris releases I've used.

I'm using XFCE 4.4.2 on my SNV_98 box, the space rq. for the build system 
really isn't that much:

Compiler:

Java SE indeed should be installed on your system after using the

In 2 of 3 cases the built-in Ethernet controller on an nVidia MCP

On one box (ASUS M2N-VM DVI) I had to workaround bug 6678904

That's pretty scary.  You might want to update that software.

That sounds like a DNS configuration error.

Do you have 'hosts' and 'ipnodes' set to 'files dns' in
/etc/nsswitch.conf?  If not, then do this:

# cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf

Do you have DNS server addresses from your ISP configured in
/etc/resolv.conf?  If not, then you'll need to do that.

Well, you're seeing broadcast traffic from 192.168.1.2, which is not 
you, so you must have a live connection to the network. You're not 
seeing ARP responses though so I'd say that 192.168.1.1 is simply not there.

Try "ping -sn 192.168.1.1".

What does "netstat -narv" report?  What do you see in "ifconfig nge0"?

Are you sure you've got the right netmask set?  It's common to use the
default here (/24), but if the other system has a different mask
configured, then it might not be able to respond.

Are there any errors?  Examine the output from "kstat nge"
... there'll be a lot of it, but it should show error counters
increasing if there are low-level problems.

How old is the software you're using?  There were serious problems
with 'nge' quite some time ago -- bad enough that I gave up and
plugged in an old 3c509 card (elxl) to work around it -- but I haven't
seen them since about build 90.

Since (according to your ifconfig sent previously) the
192.168.1.1 is on your local segment, you don't need to set up
"/etc/defaultrouter". You need it only in case you want to
communicate from 192.168.1.17 out of the local (192.168.1.0/24)
segment.

It's not a nice failure; the dcfs support was added to SPARC (boot
archive) and the module wasn't shipped with x86 but the UFS changes
to use it are in Solaris/x86.

Note that unpacking and looking at the files in the miniroot will
cause the same panic.  (So don't do that until you have installed
build 99 or add the dcfs module.

Depends how strong encryption you need.  An easy option is to use a
symmetric cypher with gnupg.  To encrypt:

gpg -c filename

To decrypt:

gpg filename



Hope this helps,

Okay, so as we're into evaluating the Solaris platform for our productive

Thanks for the hint on that.

Last night I was LUing snv_97 to snv_99 (x86) and faced the system crash in 
luupgrade phase caused by

mod_hold_stub: Couldn't load stub module fs/dcfs

Indeed, (my?) snv_97 doesn't have it, and I had to copy it over from snv_99 
distribution to get things work.

I have access only to snv_87 and snv_97, both without dcfs module.  Is that 
something to watch out when using LU to snv_98+?

No, that won't work.  We don't support that kind of compatibility.

There are two rules here that work against what you're asking for:

  1. We support only backward compatibility.  This means that a binary
 compiled on an old system (and that follows the ABI) will run on
 a new system.  Binaries compiled on a newer system (OpenSolaris
 is newer than _any_ S10) cannot be run reliably on any older
 system.

  2. System packages (those supplied by Sun as part of a Solaris
 release) are special.  System packages cannot be run on anything
 other than the release with which they were distributed, because
 they are not necessarily ABI-compliant.  They can't run on any
 newer or older system, even across Update releases.

Since you're using Solaris 10, your best bet would be to contact your
support representative and ask when (or if) a backport might be
available.

Another option would be to upgrade to Solaris Express Community
Edition.

I'd recommend contacting the Desktop community.  They're the ones who
support the GUI bits.

I can't say I use them much myself.

> I rebooted.  No help.

I suggest diagnosing the problem before going through repeated
reboots.  The system is meant to be deterministic: if you've got a
problem now, you'll very likely still have that problem after a
reboot.

> ifconfig -a looks fine, but there's no default route.

What does "looks fine" mean?  Please provide the command output.

What does "dladm show-link" say?

> Ok, I can do "route add default 192.168.1.1" and now I have a default route.

Do this:

# echo 192.168.1.1 > /etc/defaultrouter

That will make sure that (on your next reboot) the system retains the
default route you've specified.  The "route" command generally just
affects the running system.  (The exception to that is the "-p"
option.)

You'll also want to set up /etc/resolv.conf.

No idea; contact the desktop group.

As for the complexity, this is why we strongly recommend using DHCP
for configuration.  That's what it's designed to do, and it makes
things much simpler.

It's been in limbo for some time now -- see PSARC 2007/188.  The short
answer is that Sun's lawyers seem to assert that GPL libraries (unlike
GPL other executables) "must" go in a different path to protect
delicate sensibilities, and the ARC members just as strongly disagree
that the file system hierarchy ought to be used to document one
company's licensing concerns.

We're stuck, and it'd be good to be unstuck.

For now, most folks are told either to bury a private copy (ick!) or
use libtecla instead.

PSARC 2008/409.  It's presumably on its way.

Create the /etc/defaultrouter file. In that, put the IP address of the 
default router for your network.

I do not like to much the GUI interface (any of them, :) )  and using 
console is quite straight to configure the network.

Try `snoop -r -d nge0 host 192.168.1.17 icmp` during the ping to
check, if you get some responses from the host on local network.
If yes, check the firewall rules (ipfstat). If no, check the
physical/link layer (`dladm show-dev`, `dladm show-link`) or
overally the physical wiring.
