telnetd: /dev/pts/tb... No such file or directory

[ITRC forums_2]

Yesterday we were getting telnetd: /dev/pts/tc No such file or directory error and we recovered this file successfully from tape backup and after that everything was fine

Now we are getting telnetd:/dev/pts/tb No such file or directory. we did the same thing, recovered this file and after everything is fine.

My question:

Can anybody let me know what is going in our system. During this time we were unable to get the telnet session and after restoring /dev/pts/tb.... everything is fine.

Can anybody let us know the problem and solution of this.

Thx,

My question

Hello,

How many concurrent users do you have?

What is the version of your HP-UX server?

It is unusual that the devices just disappear
unless someone played with root privileges,
or you are missing some patches for your
release.

To recover, did you run:

# insf -v -e -s

Check insf(1M).

Cheers,
