I wanted to update everyone on what we have found out here.

It turns out this was not a sunray issue, but a java problem.

Java was crashing when trying to call getmnttabent().

Because we are running Sol9 this function has changed to do a system kernel call instead of an fopen of the /etc/mnttab file.

Our automount map files is quite large with direct maps (over 4500) that is causes a buffer overflow, causing java to crash.

Sun has provided a patch that seems to fix the problem and should hopefully be out in a formal patch soon. The patch appears to be a libc replacement.

Note, the problem exists if you have Sol9, Direct maps and a list greater than about 4000 lines.

Thanks,
        -Steve

Sorry Steve but you're into a javaland problem at this
point, and we don't have any java experts on this alias

Heh ;-) yea, I did find that it looks like a post-install patch is the cause.

I am trying to hunt down the right one.

Maybe sun will find it as well when they get back to my ticket.
