I think this might occur if you don't have the patch for SunAlert 46042 installed. There's more information on this critical Solaris security vulnerability, which was reported back in 2002, at http://sunsolve.central.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-46042-1
Can you run the following command to check if you have patch 109326-09 installed and let us know the result?showrev -p | grep 109326If you don't have 109326-09 or higher installed, you should install it as soon as possible. You can follow the link from the SunAlert. Better yet, install the latest Solaris 8 recommended patch cluster from http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access to make sure your system is fully patched and up to date.
