Problem logging on to HP-UX 9000 L2000

Hi Evella,

You can stop giving points until you get a solution.

Did your SA look at syslog.log to see if anything strange happening?. He/She may atleast get some messages while you are attempting to login.

Wow??????? Just grasping at straws now.

All users with same shell? Have you tried assigning a user to a different shell. For example instead of /usr/bin/sh try /usr/bin/ksh

Does this happen when you su - oracle from root, or only when you telnet?

Sorry evella, I'm just attempting to isolate the problem.

Also check in your /etc/profile , whether there has been any recent entries. Maybe you can crosscheck with another server.

Hello everyone
I have been out of the office for a couple of days. My problem still exist. I welcome any ideas. This problem seems to be somewhat of a mystery.

Hi Evella,

Sorry that your problem is still not solved. Did your SA look at syslog.log while someone attempts to login?. He/she can enable the logging by doing an inetd -l.

I checked the syslog, while logging on as oracle user. The following messsage appeared:
telnet/tcp: connection from unknown.

Could the configuration of the KERNEL cause my particular problem.
