"UTMP Entry" Error

Hi people,

Since one week I have obtained this error: "No utmp entry.You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"." when I try to connect with a telnet session.

Anyone knows what is the problem and how I can resolve this?

TIA,

David

Re: "UTMP Entry" Error

You may have corrupt wtmp/utmp entries. Does the last command work?

You may want to search these forums or the net for wtmpfix - it should help you out.

Cheers!
