I can only login from GUI console.After login through GUI and getting the prompt if I telnet, login, or rlogin to he same mchine I am not able to do that, though ftp is working to this machine. I am able to telnet, rlogin to other network machine from hp13.

Hi,

Can it be that your system is trusted, ore root access is limeted. Check for /etc/securetty. If you have problems with other users it could be /tcb/files/devassign.

Hi,
Try consulting this document:

the above is on the European site. If you cannot access it there, then try another site and search for the Document id: CBM9203091200

check for the permissions of the /usr/bin/login

It should be -rwsr-xr-x

The file should be owned by root.bin.

[sudhir_3]

The machine is standard system not trusted.

Sudhir,

Check if auditing is enabled on your system.
through sam try untrusting the system and trust again.The error id definitely related to system call audit.

[James Lynch]

T G is correct, the /usr/bin/login program should bet SUID root. Login calls the audswitch system call and audswitch will faill if it is not being executed by root.

Are you sure that the system is not trusted? Do you have a /tcb directory? The reason I ask, is that audswitch is definitely related to system auditing, and I thought that the system had to be in trusted mode before auditing could be enabled.

Sudhir,

You are getting this error because /usr/bin/login and /usr/bin/passwd
have incorrect permissions.

Perform the following steps to resolve your error:

1. Boot your system into single-user mode.

2. fsck /usr

3. mount /usr

4. Change the 'login' and 'passwd' permissions:

-r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin /usr/bin/login
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin /usr/bin/passwd

Regards,
Geno
