Solaris vs Serial Terminals
If you unplug the serial console on a Sun server it will halt the box. This is not a bug. It is how the system is supposed to work.
If an unreasonable customer wants this behaviour changed, there are two parts. To fix it right now (until the next reboot) use:
# kbd -a disable
To fix it for after the next reboot, edit /etc/default/kbd and uncomment the line which disables the interrupt.
Note that the side effect is that you cannot use Control-Break to halt the server.
