DECWindows Unable to start.

Louann Duchemin — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 12:34:56 GMT

Reviewing the DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG, I noticed the following message.

Can I get an explaination on what this means:

Unable to audit successful connection, status = 292c

292c:

%SYSTEM-F_NOAUDIT, operation requires AUDIT privilege.

Perhaps you can provide some more information:
- doesn't it start on the graphics console
- or can't you start a remote DEC-application
- are all SYSGEN paraeter set acc. to the docs
- did it run before

Everything was in working order. User originally tried to login using the system account but as the user started tying the password, "USER AUTHORIZATION FAILURE" and next line gets "[26~ "and then screen goes back to user name prompt.

I tried to restart DECWindows with the restart command, and now user stats the screen has gone blank. User can not tell if the keyboard is working. The user can login to the node remotely just fine.

This is a DS10 connected to a KVM switch, using a pull out screen,keboard and mouse combination.
