# svcadm enable wnn8/server

command.
Input Method Cannot Be EnabledWith Primary
Administrator Rights (6475081)
A user who has the Primary Administrator right can not use the input method for specic
locales which prevents that user from entering characters normally. The input method status is
not displayed in the workspace. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: Add the following lines to the /etc/security/exec_attr le:
Primary Administrator:solaris:cmd:::/usr/bin/csh:uid=0;gid=0
Primary Administrator:solaris:cmd:::/usr/bin/ksh:uid=0;gid=0
Primary Administrator:solaris:cmd:::/usr/bin/sh:uid=0;gid=0
For information about the le format, see the exec_attr(4) man page.
New ChuYin Input Method Not Supported in Upgrade
to IIIMF rev.12 (6492129)
When you upgrade the OS to the Solaris 10 6/06 or Solaris 10 11/06 release, the input method
framework and individual input methods get upgraded from rev.10 to rev.12. However,
ChuYin is not in the list of supported input methods. Also, you cannot use the function keys F2
and F3 to switch methods
Workaround: Use PinYin to type traditional Chinese characters with Hanyu PinYin. Use
Ctrl+Shift to switch input methods.
