Hi All,
After applying Solaris 8 recommended patches on a SunBlade100, I couldn't login
after rebooting the workstation. Below is what I did (I am still struggling to
figure out how to fix it).
First, I got the message
"Error opening PAM libraries
Please contact your system administrator"
Then, I did "Stop A" and "boot -s" in sequence. After I inputed the root
password for system maintenance, the following messages appeared
"su: 'su root' succeeded for root on /dev/console
No directory!"
"Starting rpc services: rpcbindld.so.1: domainname: fatal: sldaputil.so.5:
open failed: no such file or directory"
After that, instead of going to the single-user mode, the system gave me the
message "Error opening PAM libraries" again. I was expecting to go to
single-user mode and do a "chmod 755 /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1" as
suggested in the thread "SUMMARY:Error opening PAM libraries".
The system has a small "/" partition and was about to fill up. I moved the
"/var/sadm" directory to "/export/home" and made a soft link to save space
under "/". Not sure if this is the reason for all the problems.
Thanks in advance,
Sam
