Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

Read error from network: Connection reset by peer

Cause

This message appears when a user logs remotely into a machine that crashes or s rebooted during the rlogin(1) or rsh(1) session. Any data changes that were not saved are probably lost. Sometimes this message appears only when the user types something, even though the system went down hours before.

Action

Try to rlogin(1) again, perhaps after waiting a few minutes for the system to reboot.
