Looks like someone has recently messed up your /usr/bin/login file.

What does
"ll -t /usr/bin | more"
show?

Hi,
File is missing and no backup?
Do you have another simmilar type of server(11.11)?

And whatever you do, don't logout from that session you already have on the machine!

Nope... its not that high priority just wondering if i could recover this machine without having to wipe it out, i can still login to the CDE vi reflection but i do not prefer to do that....

Is there any way to recreate that file. im guessing not....

Re: Login Problem

A few things possibilities, off the top of my head:

1. Maybe someone moved the file. Run "find / -name login 2>/dev/null". If you find it, move it back to /usr/bin.

2. Maybe the file is deleted accidentally. Ftp it in from another HP-11 machine.

3. Maybe the file is renamed by mistake. See if you find any new, unexplained files at the top of the listing of "ll -t /usr/bin | more"

Good Luck!

# find / -name login 2>/dev/null
/usr/lib/builtins/login
# find . -name login
./usr/lib/builtins/login

i looked for recently modified files and nothing seems to be touched it seems to be unexplained does anyone out there have any hp ux 11 box....

I guess you can re-create the file unless recover from the tape backup or ignite.

Which version of HP-UX you are using? 11.00? 11i or others?

Hope this helps.

Sorry that I am using 11.00 but I still attach mine for you. Not sure that will suit you or not.

Hope this helps.
