strange defaults problem on Solaris

[mpelzsherman at yahoo.com (Michael Pelz Sherman)]

Hi,
 
One of our clients is running into some strange problems w/WO 4.5.1 on Solaris 8. They can do "defaults domains" and get a list of domains, but when he does a "defaults read <domain name>", he gets "Domain <domain name> does not exist". He can do a "defaults write foo bar x", but when he does "defaults read foo", again, the domain does not exist.
 
We've been through every troubleshooting step I can think of including:
 
- verify case of domain names
- verify $HOME
- verify $HOME/.OpenStep/UserDefaults2 dir is writeable to user.
 
If you have any ideas, please let me know!
