rpc bind service does not start in Solaris 10 : /dev/msglog: cannot create

There is a bug in Solaris 10 patch 128306-03
If you install this, it will keep rpc-bind service from starting on your next reboot.

you will see something like this in your rpc-bind service log:


[ May 11 23:06:32 Method "start" exited with status 1 ]
[ May 11 23:09:48 Leaving maintenance because disable requested. ]
[ May 11 23:09:48 Disabled. ]
[ May 11 23:10:00 Enabled. ]
[ May 11 23:10:00 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/rpc-bind start") ]
/lib/svc/method/rpc-bind: /dev/msglog: cannot create
rpcbind failed with 1.
[ May 11 23:10:00 Method "start" exited with status 1 ]


To resolve this, follow these steps as root:

cd /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcsd/save/128306-03

pkgtrans undo /tmp all

cd /tmp/SUNWcsd/reloc/etc/security
