Subject: broadcast in a shutdown
I tried to run /usr/sbin/shutdown on my solaris 2.5.1, but instead of
actually shutting down, the machine tries to rwall a whole ton of
machines,
most of which are not even valid names, and never shuts down. I thought
it
was getting this list from /etc/hosts.equiv, but the file is empty. Any
one
have other ideas?
Thanks to everyone who answered! I've grouped they by answer:

wall from doing a "showmount".

Check your /etc/rmtab file and see which machines have mounted your
filesystems

Look in /etc/mnttab and you will probably
see a bunch of hosts that no longer exist. What I did was a cat /dev/null
> /etc/mnttab and that eliminated the problem.

/usr/sbin/shutdown is a script. You could disable the notify() call as a
work-around.

Because of this annoying behavior, I _never_ use shutdown, but instead use
the init(1M) command. "init 6" to reboot, "init 5" to shutdown and
poweroff,
"init s" to go to single user, and "init 0" to halt to the ok prompt.

It appeared that shutdown was trying
to rwall every entry in the /etc/hosts file. I did a "cntrl-c" to stop it,
then
I shutdown all databases and just did a reboot.

It's a bug

suggested checking my broadcast address
