SolutionAre you also denied access from the normal console?? Have you tried booting into single-user mode or lvm maintenance mode?
Also, If you have an ignite tape that is firly recent, this will solve your problem by restoring to a previous state, but that may be a little drasticc.
Hope this helps
Chris

Re: root full
get root previlege either by logging in on console (may be command line login option of cde)or booting in single user mode.
look for any "core" and "a.out" file just occupying more space in your root file system.by issuing,
"find / -name core -print"
"find / -name a.out -print"
remove those files.
purge rc.log and shutdown.log file if required.

Re: root full
Simple example:
cd /dev
du -s * |sort -n
look for large umbers, as a typical eeror is someone trying to do something to /dev/null and they get ot wrong (/dev/nul), or /dev/rmt/om instead of /dev/rmt/0m.
If you cannot login, I am afraid you will be forced to crash the system with an RS or a power off, then interrut th ereboot, bring it into single user mode, and start to investigate from there.

Re: root full
Assuming that you have console access look for files that could be canditates for removal with the command: find / -xdev -size +10000c -exec ll {} \; > /tmp/bigfiles
Page /tmp/bigfiles to find files to remove, typically log files. If +10000c returns too many files to review, increase the number to get a managable number of files.
Continue until you have removed enought files to gain access.
HTH,
Doug

Re: root full
If you have a machine listed in /.rhosts, issue a rlogin as root from that machine.
Sometimes, this will hang for quite some time before letting you in. Depending on the boot time for the system, it is sometimes easier to hard power, and force single user mode from the IPL.
Then use the steps others gave to clear up the problem.

Shannon
