telnetd device error

[Murat SULUHAN]

Hi all

When I want to connect HP-UX 11.0 server via telnet, I am getting "telnetd: /dev/pts/ta: No such file or directory" message,

How can I fix that error?

Regards
Murat

Hi,

Have you put any telnetd patch in the system recently ?

Thats an old error fixed by a patch. You need to update your patches. Got to the itrc home page, then click on individual patches, then HP-UX, then choose 11.0 and search for "/dev/pts/ta: No such file or" and it should list the necessary patches which you can then download and install.

When the May 1999 Extension Pack(9905) is cold installed and later
removed, telnetd looks for old device files. Since those files are
not present, telnetd ceases to work.

A patch script now provides a warning that alerts the user to run /sbin/insf manually to regenerate the device files if for any reason the script fails to do so. This avoids potential problems that could arise because of old file names versus new file names.

To resolve this telnet problem, execute the following command to create the device file(s):

insf -e



Best regards,
Armin

Hi again

Some pathces installed but not configured (sam's problem). I used this command

swlist -l fileset -a state |grep install

and I used "swconfig \*" command to configure that unconfigured pathces.

Thanks for your response
