Infrastructure Software

Hi all

I had a test workstation running Solaris 11 Express. I upgraded it a few days ago, and since then I am having some problems. The release notes say nothing about them, so here we go.

1) before the upgrade, my WS got an address via DHCP, and registered its name in the DNS. After the upgrade, it doesn't register its name any more; this has unfortunate consequences when, e.g., trying to send an email through a system that does reverse DNS checking.

2) it is impossible to switch network locations, either via GUI or command line. E.g.:
root@isaiah:~# netadm list
TYPE PROFILE STATE
ncp Automatic online
ncu:phys bge0 online
ncu:ip bge0 online
loc Automatic offline
loc NoNet offline
loc User online
root@isaiah:~# netadm enable -p loc Automatic
Enabling loc 'Automatic'
root@isaiah:~# netadm list
TYPE PROFILE STATE
ncp Automatic online
ncu:phys bge0 online
ncu:ip bge0 online
loc Automatic offline
loc NoNet offline
loc User online

3) pf* commands don't work anymore. Despite this worked before and, up to my knowledge, my user has all necessary roles, running (e.g.) pfexec doesn't work anymore, and I had to work around that with sudo. E.g.,
bronto@isaiah:~$ pfexec svcadm restart svc:/network/smtp:sendmail
svcadm: svc:/network/smtp:sendmail: Permission denied.
bronto@isaiah:~$ sudo svcadm restart svc:/network/smtp:sendmail
bronto@isaiah:~$

I have root in my roles, and all the necessary profiles:
bronto@isaiah:~$ roles
root
bronto@isaiah:~$ profiles
Primary Administrator
Console User
Desktop Removable Media User
Suspend To RAM
Suspend To Disk
Brightness
CPU Power Management
Network Autoconf User
Basic Solaris User
All

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Ciao
