[Orca-users] Re: orcallator.se runs, but no output

Charlie,

Hmmm .... nothing for hme1. Here's output from "find / -name "*hme*
-print"

/usr/share/man/sman7d/hme.7d
/usr/platform/sun4u/lib/adb/sparcv9/hmetopmgrp
/usr/platform/sun4u/lib/adb/hmetopmgrp
/usr/lib/adb/hmelist
/usr/lib/adb/sparcv9/hmelist
/usr/include/sys/hme.h
/usr/include/sys/hme_mac.h
/usr/include/sys/hme_phy.h
/etc/hostname.hme0
/dev/hme
/devices/pseudo/clone at 0:hme
/kernel/drv/sparcv9/hme
/kernel/drv/hme

My experience has usually shown that something this mysterious winds up
being a stupid configuration mistake that I have made but overlooked. I
also know from my own programming experience that nothing is foolproof,
because fools are so ingenious ;-)

So, when I get into the office this morning I'll check SE to see how many
nics 'it' sees, and then do a complete reinstall of the SE toolkit and
also Orca. That will be easier and quicker for me to accomplish than a
reboot for that system.

Cheers,
Mark
