- Password does not decrypt secret key for unix.uid@variable SUN
This message appears at login time when a user's password is not identical to the user's keylogin network password. When a system is running NIS+, the login program firstperforms UNIX authentication, and then attempts a keylogin(1) for secure RPC authentication.
To gain credentials for secure RPC, users can run ... Login to see more

- Exec format error SUN
This often happens when trying to runsoftware compiled for different systems or architectures, such as when executing Solaris 2.x programs on a SunOS 4.1.x system, or when trying to execute SPARC-specific programs on an x86 machine. On a Solaris 2.x system, it can also occur if the BinaryCompatibility Package was not installed.
Make sure that the software matches the architect ... Login to see more

- SCSI bus DATA IN phase parity error SUN
The most common cause of this problem is unapproved hardware. Some SCSI devices for thePC market do not meet the high I/O speed requirements for the UNIX market. Other possible causes of this problem are improper cabling or termination, and power fluctuations. Data corruption is possible but unlikely to occur, because this parity error prevents data transfer.
Check that all SCSI devices on the bus are Sun ap ... Login to see more

- console login: ^J^M^Q^K^K^P SUN
This usually occurs because OpenWindows exited abnormally, leaving the system's keyboard in the wrong mode. The characters that appear when someone attempts to login are garbage transliterations of what someone types.

- WARNING: TOD clock not initialized-- CHECK AND RESET THE DATE! SUN
This message indicates that the Time Of Day (TOD) clock reads zero, so its time is the beginning of the UNIX epoch: midnight 31 December 1969. On a brand-new system, the manufacturer might have neglected to initialize the system clock. On older systems it is more likely that the rechargeable battery has run out and requires replacement.
First replace the batteryaccording to the manufac ... Login to see more

- Watchdog Reset SUN
This fatal error usually indicates some kind of hardware problem. Data corruption on the system is possible. Fix: Look for some other message that might help diagnose the problem. By itself, a watchdog reset doesn't provide enough information; because traps are disabled, all information has been lost. If all that appears on the console is an ok prompt, issue the PROM command below to view the final messages that occurred just before system failure:
ok f8002010 wector p Yes, that word iswector, no ... Login to see more

- SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset' SUN
This message indicates that the system sent data over the SCSI bus, but the data never reached its destination because of a SCSI bus reset. The most common cause of this condition is conflicting SCSI targets.¤Data corruption is possible but unlikely to occur, because this failure prevents data transfer. Fix: Verify that all cables are no longer than six meters, total, and that all SCSI connections are properly terminated. If power surges are a problem, acquire a surge suppressor or uninterruptible power supply. A machine's internal disk drive is usually SCSI target 3. Make sure that external and secondary disk drives are targeted to 1, 2, or 0, and do not conflict with each other. Also make sure that tape drives are targeted to 4 or 5, and CD drives to 6, avoiding any conflict with each other or with disk drives. If the targeting of the internal disk drive is in question, power off the machine, remove all external drives, turn the power on, and from the PROM monitor run the probe-scsi-all or probe-scsi command.
If SCSI device targeting is acceptable, memory co ... Login to see more
