Thank you very much to all responded and also to those who sent reply
that I did not receive yet. A lot of people responded (37 so far), more
than 20 people suggested to check what version the kernel is running:

        strings /vmunix |grep SunOS

and if it doesn't say 4.1.3 then rebuild and reinstall the kernel. This is
the correct solution. Others suggested to look at /etc/motd and
/etc/rc.local. I'd like to thank these people, if I miss your name, my
apology:
