CDE user can't open dtterm session

[P.J. Cruz]

We are using Xmanager to interface with our rp7400. User logs in fine but when the try to open a terminal session the screen blinks and no terminal session is activated. I log in as root and I have no problems. It appears to be a permission issue and I have check the forum for a possible soluttion. I hav notice the user does not create a paminfo file.

Hi,

check and verify that the permissions for directory /dev/pts is 755.

Hope this helps.

Here is what we have:
drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 24576 Jan 9 12:48 pts
I noticed when the user tries to aquire a terminal it resets the /dev/pts/0 to
crw--w---- 1 csjb users 157 0x000000 Apr 23 14:16 0

It's still not working

You might get a better message by doing:

- login as root
- xhost +
- su - user
- export DISPLAY=pc-host-ip:0
- /usr/dt/bin/dtterm

Joe and Rick,

/dev r-xr-x-r-x
/dev/tty crw-rw-rw

Rick,

Can't use DISPLAY we are on DHCP

hi,

how about setting the following:

/dev/pts -> drwxr-xr-x
/dev/tty -> cr-xr--r-- or cr-x------

or you may like to play with the permission but ensuring that you do not give awar too much, i.e. security must be tight as well.

regards.
