ttytype: couldn't open /dev/tty for reading stty: : Not a typewriter on HP UX 11.31

[Eduardo_Eloy]

Hi,

I have te following error when i intend to log in with any user to a server with hp ux 11.31:

ttytype: couldn't open /dev/tty for reading stty: : Not a typewriter

I had review the /etc/profile and .profile and aplied the changes that i saw in the forums but neither of then resolved my problem.

I verified the permission of /dev/pty and they are correct:

user bin / group bin for ll -d /dev/pty

And user bin / group tty for  ll /dev/pty

And this are the kernel pty parameters:

kcusage |grep npty
npty 0 / 200
kcusage |grep nstrpty
nstrpty 60 / 200
kcusage |grep nstrtel
nstrtel 1 / 60

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

It would help if you could post the results of this command;

# ll -d / /dev /dev/tty /dev/pty

Thank for the answer.

This is the output of the command

>> ll -d / /dev /dev/tty /dev/pty
drwxr-xr-x 142 root root 16384 Jul 25 16:36 /
