# svcs |grep ftp

blank humm?

# svcadm -v enable ftp
svc:/network/ftp:default enabled.

It seams to work even though it is not listed.

When trying to remove package SMCsudo you get the error

#pkgrm SMCsudo

The following package is currently installed:
SMCsudo sudo
(sparc) 1.6.8p4

Do you want to remove this package? y

do

# cd /var/sadm/pkg

which is where the package database is located

then delete the offending package that you are trying to remove.

rm -rf SMCsudo

Then the package is removed the ugly (hack) way.

So then you can now install thenewer version of the same package.

# pkgadd -d /tmp/SMCsudo

logger is the program that you can use to send syslog messages. On solaris systems if syslog is not set up to send syslog messages remotely or set up properly then syslog will just send the “Hello World” message to /var/adm/messages. Please note that /etc/syslog.conf does not like spaces it only likes tabs, any spaces can break the config. While local3.alert is the is the message facilitie, change it based on your setup.

$ logger -p local3.alert “Hello World”
