When you say the person who "fixed" the problem before is no longer available, is there any way to reach this person, even if they are no longer employed where they were? That might be the easiest thing. :-)

There, on Solaris 2.6, the same "thing" happened but the remote sysadm did "something" and now it behaves as you stated when going "there". Now I am trying to install it on a local box with Solaris 2.7, and I am getting the same initial behavior. However, the person who "fixed it" before is no longer available. Hence my inquiry.
