SUNWsmbar Removes the /etc/services and /etc/inet/services Files During Upgrade (6756546)

During system upgrade to the Solaris 10 10/09 OS, the /etc/services and /etc/inet/services files are removed when the SUNWsmbar is installed. The following error messages are displayed on the system console upon reboot:

Workaround: To prevent removal of the /etc/services and /etc/inet/services during OS upgrade perform the following steps:

  1. Stop all running Samba services:


    #svcadm disable samba:default swat:default wins:default winbind:default
  2. Uninstall the SUNWsmbar package before upgrading the OS:


    #pkgrm SUNWsmbar
  3. Upgrade the OS to the Solaris 10 10/09 release.

  4. Re-install the SUNWsmbar package:


    #pkgadd SUNWsmbar
