Thanks for the support and info that is coming in.

RHEL 5.3 is the platform that we've QA'd against. Also, SRSS has *Never*
worked with a "default" install. There are packages to add, there are

You've installed the following additional packages?
* Software Development Tools
* glib-1.2.10-20.el5 (32-bit RPM on 32-bit and 64-bit OS)
* dhcp-3.0.5-3.el5 (Servers/Network Servers)

Yes, I did
What version of Java are you using? What does java -version state? The one
from the ../Supplemental/Java_Runtime_Environment/Linux/ is your safest route
as it's the one we've QA'd against.
jre1.6.0_15
Same for Apache Tomcat.
apache-tomcat-5.5.27
What does your host files look like? If it only has 127.0.0.1 entries, you
need to add your hostname and IP
That is added during the RHEL install (this is a fresh install)
what does getent hosts <that hostname> show?
# getent hosts sunray1.mittag-leffler.se
2001:6b0:15:2::41 sunray1.mittag-leffler.se
#
Does that hostname match the one in "Sun Ray Data Store 3.2
" section of the /var/log/utconfig.<Date> log?
What does "getent passwd utwww" show? That's a local account and shouldn't
exist in LDAP/NIS/etc
# getent passwd utwww
utwww:x:500:500:ut admin web server user:/tmp:/bin/sh
#
Thing is, I solved it now.
If I install RHEL 5 U5 + updated and then the usual procedure with
the extra packages, java, tomcat, then srss then utadm then utconfig (with
failover) it doesn't work.
But now I tried RHEL 5 U3 + extra packages, java, tomcat then srss
(without failover) and it works. So i did the RHEL updates restarted,
still works. did utconfig unconfig and utadm unconfig and reconfigured
with failover and now it works.
So RHEL 5 U3 + updates works
and RHEL 5 U5 + updates doesn't work
but RHEL 5 U3 + updates = RHEL 5 U5 updates
I have no clue any longer why this is.
I have installed with this procedure many times (I can go from a blank
machine to a fully patched and work RHEL sunray server in 2-3h :D )
but it just stopped working recently with RHEL 5 U5 and SRSS 4.2
Another thing I was wondering, why is SRSS 4.2 manual only as wiki while
4.1 was avail as PDF
No errors in the /var/log/utinstall.<date> log?

I tried and no, that's not it. I've tried many things and right now one
Sun Ray Server is down here. I've asked some consultants around here but
it is as usual, no one has the know-how.
I even started looking at Oracle Enterprise Linux but that thing was even
harder (I can't even download it). Right now I need to reinstall the
other Sun Ray Server but everything points to that if I do, it will be
down too.

Alexander,
Seems that I recall someone posting something similar [and in
Spanish
no less] and the resolution had something to do with the following
feedback:
Adding user account for 'utwww' (ut admin web server user)
...Creating

ile: File exists
useradd: warning: the home directory already exists.
Check to see whether there isn't already a "utwww" user existing that
is
messing up the account creation which then messes up the overall
install.
No that is just me that tried installing several times to fix the LDAP
stuff. utconfig has never had problems with already existing skeleton
files.
I'm very worried right now because right now latest SRSS doesn't work
with
default install RHEL and I'm going into production in a week or two and
have no failsafe right now.
I never had this problem before.

Subject: EXTERNAL:[SunRay-Users] problems with utconfig on redhat
I'm using RHEL 5.5 + current updates, i386 version and I'm trying to
install SRSS 4.2
Usually I never have problems with this, but this is first time I use
this
version of SRSS.
Last version that worked for me was RHEL 5.4 + current updates and
SRSS
4.2 EA 2
Everything installs pretty ok but when I configure utconfig I get
this:

And I reboot and most services come up (haven't tried connecting a

Which is like impossible to google.
Please help!
