UNIX Solaris

Hi Guys,

can any body give light for my issue pleasee, I cannot SSH to my solaris machine (sun Sparc T51220). I tried root and all other users on this machine. When I connect a terminal to my solaris machine via the serial mgt. port, I get the following error messages:
: open_pam_conf: /etc/pam.conf writable by group
then, also error message /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: WARNING: dangerous write permissions.

Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, please help meeeee...

Did you check the permissions then? What is the output of :

ls -l /etc/pam.conf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

although the latter is a warning, not an error message. What about the first message?

Also, what is the output when you try to ssh with the -v option?

ssh -v ...
