Hi Keith, Thanks for looking into this:
root@ # svcs -xv console-login svc:/system/console-login:default (Console login) State: offline since Tue Feb 26 01:11:08 2008 Reason: Service svc:/milestone/single-user:default has missing dependencies. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-GE Path: svc:/system/console-login:default svc:/system/utmp:default svc:/milestone/sysconfig:default svc:/milestone/single-user:default See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M ttymon Impact: This service is not running. enabling/disabling things in the above list doesn't seem to change anything. From what i can tell from above output, console-login is dependent on a milestone (single-user) which is offline because of missing dependencies on something? Does ttymon play a role here? -ashu Keith M Wesolowski wrote: > On Mon, Feb 25, 2008 at 05:29:13PM -0800, Ashutosh Tripathi wrote: > >> So, why does SMF keeps insisting that >> "Console login service(s) cannot run"? > > Perhaps one of the dependencies of this service is disabled or unable > to run.
