telnet device error

Murat SULUHAN — Wed, 18 Dec 2002 08:42:53 GMT

Hi all

When I want to connect HP-UX 11.0 server via telnet, I am getting "telnetd: /dev/pts/ta: No such file or directory" message,

How can I fix that error?

Regards
Murat

I am so sorry, I posted this message to incorrect forum.

You can abort it, but every helpful answer would be appreciated :)

You are missing a device file that is required to create the telnet connection.

On the HP-UX box you could try running insf -e as root, this should recreate all of the Reinstall the special files for pseudo-drivers and existing devices.

If this does not work you could use mknod /dev/pts/ta c 140 0x000000, however this will only create the one special file you need in this case, there may be more ie tb, tc etc missing.

Kind regards,

Hi again

Some pathces installed but not configured (sam's problem). I used this command

swlist -l fileset -a state |grep install

and I used "swconfig \*" command to configure that unconfigured pathces.

Thanks for your response
