Problems with GSP login

[Gregory Heil]

I am presently deploying 15 rp2470's with the latest firmware: Hardware Revision A0 Firmware Revision C.02.14 Apr 14 2003,11:05:49

I set up the GSP with a couple of standard accounts, as well as the LAN console. I check everything out, and I can log in & out of the GSP LAN port w/0 any problems.

But, so far, three of the four systems in the field have developed a GSP login problem. I can connect to the GSP LAN and get the login prompt. I enter a valid login, and then it asks for a password, which is entered. I hit return, and it just repeats the name/passwd request. Does this three time, and disconnects. I have reset the GSP via the stty command in a root session. No diff.

I have had to do the GSP reset and have someone at the console enter yes to clear the user accounts. Then I can get in. I have readded the accounts, but so far without the problem repeating. May not happen again, but...

Any thoughts

From the command line logged in as root, this will diplay GSP status:

stty +queryGSP < /dev/GSPdiag1

...and this will reset and load defaults:

stty +resetGSP < /dev/GSPdiag1

I have tried the +resetGSP. I don't believe that it does a total reset of the GSP, more of a reboot.

If I do the +resetGSP, and have someone at the system console to answer the question, it will clean out the user accounts which then allows me to get into w/o any account info

Hi,

looks like you need to enable telnet login on the GSP,
I think recently by default telnet and http access were enabled but it may have changed (or I may be wrong...)

That's been done also. Before this problem surfaced, I was telneting into the GSP LAN port and logging into the GSP w/o any problems.

The first time this happened to one system, I thought it was me. But now it's happening on a third (out of four).
