I have just finished setting up Cacti on Solaris 8. Mind you I am not very fluent with Solaris so, But It seems to be running fine. The ping script does not work. I'm still trying to figure that one out, but it looks like output from Solaris's ping and Linux Ping are completly different.

Included default ping.pl script needs to be modified for Solaris. The following one should work for you:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

if ($ARGV[0]=="x") {
$db = ":0";
$ARGV[0] = 2;
}

$response = `ping -s -v $ARGV[1] 56 $ARGV[0] |grep round-trip| awk '\{print \$5 \}' | awk -F'/' '\{print \$1 \}' | grep -v "Warning"`;
chomp $response;
$response = $response;
print "$response$db";

I also found the net-snmp libraries I'd compiled and then compiled PHP with were causing
trouble for cacti too. The snmp gets were returning strings like:
MIBOID=value

So I had to edit include/snmp_functions.php and tweak the snmp_get and snmp_walk
functions in there to look for the = character and trim off it and everything to the left
of it. 'Course it might just be that there was somethin' I didn't configure quight right
in the net-snmp package I compiled. (shrug) Perhaps there is somewhere there I
could have turned off the = stuff but I got tired of looking for it.
