Rajib,

Your problem could be solved by creating a new .dt file
If you are trying to login as root and it gives you this error, do the following:
- Login with root using telnet
- rename the .dt dir ( mv .dt .dt.old)
- log out
Now try loging agin from the console, this will create a new .dt directory and hopefully you will be able to login fine

Let me know

Also make sure that these lines are in the /etc/securettys file

/dev/console
local:0
:0

Renaming the .dt directory will not affect anything in the system.
When you login again through the CDE, the system will create a new .dt directory if it didn't find one. You do not have to do a shutdown for that change.

The message you mentioned just tells you that there was an error with a parameter and it was fixed.

HTH
