My fellow syadmin here at work was trying to get solaris 10 to talk to our openldap server. He ran ldapclient with a manual config to set up password authentication. Upon reboot, it displayed the hostname and then said:
ldap nis domain name is and then would hang. At that point, it was taken into single user mode and he ran: ldap client uninit which wiped out the LDAP configuration, but now upon boot, the machine says: Hostname: mbox02 NIS domain name is and just hangs. If we try to boot into single user mode, it asks for the root password - we type it in and then it just hangs. We've waited several minutes now and it just seems to be locked up there. We're just trying to get SMF to not use NIS but we can't find a way to turn the service off so it doesn't load. We can boot from a DVD and mount the rootpool but then we don't know how to make the svcadm command edit the files on the mounted rootpool. HELP! :^) This message posted from opensolaris.org
