rlogind problem

Swee Lean Heng — Thu, 03 Jan 2002 03:20:50 GMT

Hi all,
I'm having problem rlogin to a system. The error messages are as follow:

# rlogin ahost
rlogind: /dev/pts/0: Invalid argument.
Connection closed.
#

What could be the problem, tried recreating pty devfile using insf -d pty, insf -d pts after moving /dev/pty, /dev/ptym and /dev/pts to somewhere else, same results.

This is a bug with 11.00. Install the lastet Quality patch bundle and one of then will fix the /dev/pty missing letter problem.

I found the patch: PHNE_21822. A subpatch of that one replace all number under /dev/pts by a letter.

In addition, you may not have the stream drivers on your system. verify by:
# grep pt /stand/system
# grep ldterm /stand/system

if they're not in system file then you need to install the ptem, ptm, pts and ldterm on the system. so add the correct drivers and rebuild the kernel.

G'd luck

Hi,
sorry didn't state the OS ver, it is 10.20.
grep for pt and ldterm in system, OK.

The problem happen after recover from tape for / filesystem because of file missing.

thank you for all the response.

swee,

The error you are receiving is comming from rlogind on the ahost system. The problem is on the remote system (ahost). Check the device files on the remote.
