Cannot login from the Master Console. Only from other workstations

[Andre Lemon]

I get the following message when attempting to login from the master console.

"No utmp entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest lever "sh"."

I can login from other workstations in the data center to this system. Any ideas?

Thanks

Perhaps console login has been disabled for the root user. Thats pretty easy to do, even if you don't intend to.

see the ~/.shrc which can be used to enable or disable certain devices for login. Also see chapter 3 of HP's Practical Network Security Guide for more interesting reading on the topic.

Thanks Ken, that link let me to the answer.
I had to rm and recreate the /etc/utmp file.



Problem solved.
