I looked into this. The problem is that in Solaris 9, Sun added a
new rpc daemon that some of the work of vold gets foisted off onto; our
version of /etc/inet/inetd.conf doesn't contain a line for this daemon,
so vold is pretty much a basketcase without it. See:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/private-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=srdb%2F46781
for (slightly) more information. We do already have the patch mentioned
there.
I'll submit patches to fix this.
Garry
