We have a 4800 running Solaris 8 ,newly installed ready to be handed over
to the software
vendor for configuration. The system has been installed and running for 2 weeks
but is basically doing nothing. No activity has occurred on the system for
some time.
I attempted to connect today via ssh but could not. Telneting to it results
in the following
message: "telnetd: stdin is not a socket file descriptor." I can telnet to
the domain console
and if I attempt to log in as root on the console I get "Not on system
console"!
I can log in as a user on the system console. When I su to root I get:
Jul 31 08:22:49 aleph su: 'su root' succeeded for user on /dev/???
You have new mail.
Must be attached to terminal for 'am I' option

if I type "ps" I get "ps: getexecname() failed"
If I type "cat vfstab"
cat: Cannot stat stdout
however I can "more" it.
/proc appears to be mounted. However it cannot be listed.
@aleph # ls /proc
/proc: Value too large for defined data type
Date shows:
@aleph # date
Mon Jul 31 10:36:33 EST 1978
The date on each of the system controllers is fine.
The machine has not been rebooted for some time.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
How could the machine have gotten into this state?
