Many thanks to Somesh Nagthan, Hemant, Elizabeth Lee, Steve Wills ,Ramini Gabriel and Bryan L. Moore. for quick and informative responses. The short answer is : Don't remove those files unless you want to loose control of system software. Thanks! Replies follow: All the package administration tools (pkgrm, pkgadd, ecc) depends on the contents of that directory. Removing it means to loose control of the system software... Removing them is probably a bad idea if you plan on administering the box cleanly in the future, installing patches, etc. I'm guessing you need disk space in /var? Try moving the sadm dir to somewhere with more space and making a symlink to it. better leave /var/sadm/pkg alone -- in fact, leave /var/sadm alone. Do not touch /var/sadm directory. the package administration commands use this directory.....so i would strictly advise you to NOT mess with it at all. I believe when you remove the record of it being installed, if you ever do a pkgrm on the package, it comes back saying no package of that name exists.... _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu May 9 17:24:53 2002
