Disable sendmail on Solaris 9

I got problem in one of our server that there are thousands of sendmail process running and calling another process mail.local which blocked any access to this server.

root@server1 # ps -ef |grep mail.local | wc -l
6503

Killing those processes has recovered access to the server:
pkill -9 sendmail
pkill -9 mail.local

But, in order to prevent same problem, disabling sendmail is required.

The more detail of sendmail is following....

sendmail is a service started at boot time through the rc mechanism. Have a look at the /etc/rc*.d directories for startup scripts.

mv /etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail /etc/rc2.d/s88sendmail

Only scripts that start with an upper case S are started at boot time.

Google Diaspora

Print The Google Diaspora:

"In that garage, Sergey Brin and Larry Page built their empire on the basis of a simple and powerful idea that now seems obvious: Create a better search engine by taking into account not just a page's content but also its connectedness. The most popular pages would show up ahead of the lonelier pages in search results. This idea was so central to the Google experiment that its demo-stage name was 'BackRub,' as in, 'You rub my site's back, I'll rub yours.' It's this same basic idea that drives interest in the Google diaspora. Not only are Xooglers bright, entrepreneurial, and wealthy, but their links to one another and to Google endow them with a real-world ranking bonus--VC doors open wider; the press is more intrigued."

The guys are working today on a one-page mission statement that they intend to send out to all their investors. They show the draft to me, ask for my comments. One of the key lines reads:

"Within the software/Internet sector, we are focused on early-stage investment opportunities supported by one or more of our three major investment themes: algorithm-intensive solutions, multisided aggregation platforms, and next-generation productivity solutions."

I point out that the word solutions is used twice and offer that, in general, the term "next-generation" is used so often, it's basically useless. They change the line, replacing the first solutions with services, and writing "Web-centric" in place of "next-generation."

Missed dialed number for internet access via GPRS/ 3G

In the past 3 days, I really need wireless internet access. Not via WIFI as it is not widely available, but via GPRS / 3G.

I have been tried it on may laptop in peered with with my E90 and K800i. Both were working perfectly.

I missed the dialed code, so this post should force me to remember the detail and would never forget it again.

The dialed code format is *99***cid#, where cid is the GPRS/3G connection id.

In my case cid is 3, so full dialed code is *99***3#. Note that it is three consecutive stars. I have tried with two stars and didn't work.
