I'm doing some work on someone else's Solaris 7 workstation, and their
network is broken. The symptoms are that:
1) it can't talk to the outside world and the outside world can't talk to it
2) running netstat by a mortal user yields (netstat runs fine by root):
ip open: Permission denied
can't open mib stream: Bad file number
I'm assuming that if I solve (2), (1) will get better.
Here's an 'ls -l' of relevant files. The dates and file sizes are missing
to protect the innocent (actually because I didn't write them down):
-r-xr-sr-x 1 bin sys ----- date /bin/netstat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other -- date /dev/ip -> ../devices/pseudo/clone@0:ip
crw-rw---- 1 root sys 11, 3 date /devices/pseudo/clone@0:ip
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other -- date /dev/tcp -> ../devices/pseudo/clone@0:tcp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 11, 42 date /devices/pseudo/clone@0:tcp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other -- date /dev/udp -> ../devices/pseudo/clone@0:udp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 11, 41 date /devices/pseudo/clone@0:udp
I noticed that the major device numbers (3, 42, 41) on my working Solaris 8
are the same as the minor numbers on their broken Solaris 7 for the three
/devices... coincidence?
I searched the archives and yahoogroups, and found several other folks who
had similar problems in the past and wrote to them; most had problems with
the ownership or permission bits, which look OK here. All the standard
networking files look fine, too.
This is on a low-end Ultra (1 or 2, I think).
