Note – Use a shell tool or a CDE terminal (such as dtterm), not a command tool.
Some TIP commands might not work properly in a command tool window.
Modifying the /etc/remote File
This procedure might be necessary if you are accessing the server using a TIP
connection from a remote system running an older version of the Solaris OS
software. You might also need to perform this procedure if the /etc/remote file on
the remote system has been altered and no longer contains an appropriate
hardwire entry.
Log in as superuser to the system console of a system that you intend to use to
establish a TIP connection to your server.
▼ To Modify the /etc/remote File
1. Determine the release level of Solaris OS software installed on the remote system.
Type:
The system responds with a release number.
2. Do one of the following, depending on the number displayed.
■ If the number displayed by the uname -r command is 5.0 or higher:
The Solaris OS software shipped with an appropriate entry for hardwire in the
/etc/remote file. If you suspect that this file was altered, and the hardwire
entry modified or deleted, check the entry against the following example, and
edit it as needed.
Note – If you intend to use the remote system’s serial port A rather than serial port
B, edit this entry by replacing /dev/term/b with /dev/term/a.
# uname -r
hardwire:\
:dv=/dev/term/b:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:
