ttys have disappeared

[Joe Terry_1]

I am instlling HP-UX 11 and just complete installation of the ACE patches, the machine came back up, but I can not longer get a login prompt.

I get the following when trying to telnet to the machine:

# telnet bertha
Trying...
Connected to bertha.parkcity.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
telnetd: /dev/pts/ta: No such file or directory
.
Connection closed.

It would appear that the telnet daemon has got some bad initialization or device info. Does anyone have a cure?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

try to recreate the devies files:
insf -e -d pty

It seems you have to login from your console and run the insf command from /dev using the options as stated by Andreas

Don't forget to add the stream pty's too. For 100 connections do:

insf -e -s 100
insf -d pty -n 100

(both options default to 60 if no value is specified.)
