What kind of terminal are you using?
Are you using telnet, rlogin or ssh?

Hi,

The "stty:: Not a typewriter" message is the result of attempting another login when either there are not enough of the "pts" character devices or there are insufficient kernel structures of the "strpty" class (which is generated in the kernel as nstrpty)

If there are not enough kernel structures a kernel must be rebuilt using SAM with a higher number of structures allocated; however, this may not change the number of "pts" device files available.

If the kernel example above were rebuilt for 75 kernel structures, the correct command to increase the number of character device files would be:

#insf -d pts -s 75

The insf command defaults to 60 so the "-s 75" is necessary to generate enough character devices.

If there are neither enough kernel structures nor device files; please use SAM to both configure additional structures and character devices. You will be required to recompile the kernel and reboot the system as a result.

Best Regards,
Prashanth

Hmm, I thought you just don't login when that happens. And the stty error occurs when executing HP-UX's broken /etc/profile or ~/.profile.

Thanks for your replys,issue has been identified and solved.it was due to nstrpty ,is has reached maximum number of allowable limit.
