Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

1. Type the following command to rename Sendmail
mv /etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail /etc/rc2.d/M88sendmail (the new name can be changed)
To stop Sendmail
sh /etc/rc2.d/M88sendmail stop
Now restart sunos.

U can use NMAP for port scanning or see the man page.

Rechil is right, but for Solaris changing the firt letter of the command from upper case to lower case will cause system to ignore it. /etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail -> /etc/rc2.d/s88sendmail Same effect like changing the name like Rechil said.

Mariodlg, good observation ! On Solaris / Linux or Unix they r very case sensitive. while Windows does not. Any command on Windows system, u can write either upper / lower.
