I’m getting bitten by Solaris patches. In particular, several recent patches have decided to muck with /etc/rc3.d scripts in the postpatch script. I remove a number of these scripts at Jumpstart time so that the systems they start won’t be started (things like automounter and volume management, which mostly serve to bite one in the hindquarters). Sun adding them back in messes with my systems. They have every right to modify the main file in /etc/init.d, but they should keep their hands off of my territory in /etc/rc?.d.
So I copied out the portion of my Jumpstart script that disables these, and I’ve made it a standalone script that can be run after any patches are applied. Just run it. Good maintenance, and swat those pesky Sun idjits.
