First time I see this...
We log in through a direct XDMCP connection. When we try to open a terminal from the panel, we get the error "Cannot get pty"
No errors on syslog. We get it no matter which user, root, oracle, etc, etc tries it.
Glance shows only 1 or 2 pty used (npty=60).
Only 3 users exist on the system. Nobody else is using it.
The directory listings show almost all tty (/dev/pty, /dev/*ty) owner is bin:tty.
We rebooted but still the same...
The only thing done to the system since yesterday afternoon, was a find to erase all files of user oracle....
The OS is 11i on a L1000 machine...
any ideas???
thanx!!!!
Solved! Go to Solution.

------------------------------------------
$HOME/.dt/errorlog:
*** STDERR(1): (/usr/dt/bin/dtexec) /usr/dt/bin/dtterm: PID 29164: Thu Nov 20 10
:53:35 2003
grantpt: Not a typewriter
Warning:

*** [186]
--------------------------------------------
# ll /usr/lbin/chgpt
-r-sr-sr-x 1 root bin 212992 Nov 14 2000 /usr/lbin/chgpt
-------------------------------------------
I will not try the insf command yet, as an installation takes place at the moment...
Oh, I forgot to mention. Normal telnet (windows, reflection, hyperterm, etc) works fine. Xterminal (ReflectionX, etc) also works... Only on XDMCP we have this problem...

Re: can not get pty error on XDMCP connection
should be the first choice
do check hte permissions for
/usr/bin/X11/xterm -r-sr-xr-x root:bin
/usr/bin/X11/hpterm -r-sr-sr-x root:sys
/usr/dt/bin/dtterm -r-sr-xr-x root:bin
/usr/contrib/bin/X11/xterm -r-sr-xr-x root:bin
