Hi Gurus,
 
I am having a problem with my E250 server which is running Solaris 7 on
it. yesterday suddenly the /var filesystem size increase and went up to
97%, when I check which directory is having more size nos of file so I
can delete or null it. When I check the /var FS I found tmp folder is
have large nos of size (using "du -sk ." command.). So I create a temp
folder in /tmp and decided to move the /var/tmp folder to /tmp/temp. it
took me some 1+ hour to move, but it didn't completely moved the
/var/tmp folder to /tmp/temp/tmp. After that I got an error when I was
doing listing of file in" /". So I restarted the server and after that I
am getting this error "/var/adm/utmpx not owned by root or not mode
644.\nThis file must be owned by root and not writable by\nanyone other
than root. This alert is being dropped because of\nthis problem." with
RPC error also saying RPC not register. How to solve the RPC bind error
which we get while startup of the server.
 
Need a help in solving this problem. Thanks in advance
 
Thanks
 
Yogesh
