       Ok, we understand what happened now.  This line in the
update.log:

>> Updating /etc/athena/rc.conf from /srvd/etc/athena/rc.conf

       indicates that the machine was PUBLIC=true when it updated from
9.0.19 to 9.0.20.  The version script for 9.0.20 was supposed to bring
local /usr/lib/sparcv9/libm.so.1, and it apparently did so successfully
(nothing on stderr from the version script).  However, because the
machine was PUBLIC=true, it ran oscheck, and Greg says he had forgotten
to release the volume containing the statfiles initially, so the shared
library cryptorand depended on was bashed back into being a symlink.
Then, the next time it rebooted, it failed to start cryptorand.

       A quick workaround is either to "pkgrm SUNWski" if you don't need
the package, or else to:

rm -f /usr/lib/sparcv9/libm.so.1
cp -p /os/usr/lib/sparcv9/libm.so.1 /usr/lib/sparcv9/libm.so.1

       As it happens, this only affects Ultras in the dev cell that were
PUBLIC=true when they took 9.0.19/9.0.20.
