AS2100A:Root login denial

[Learn_1]

Hi All,
with reference to my previous thread number
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=249806
in which i asked the same question and replies did solve problem.at that time i was installing the TRU64Unix 5.1B on AS4100.now i ave installed tru64unix on as2100a for test purposes.i have loaded OSF-BASE license and the license is active.i have also edited /etc/securettys file and added ptys entry so that user may login from remote terminal by using telnet.But even doing all this i am still unable to login from remote terminals even with root login.the message displayed after entering username and password is "root login refused on this terminal"
what else more i can do to resolve this issue so that i may login from remote terminals.

2nd question:
are there any free trial licenses available for tru64unix 5.1b e.g for OSF-BASE???????????????

In /etc/securettys add the following:

/dev/console
local:0
:0
IP_address_1:0
IP_address_2:0
ptys

make sure that the IP_address you enter correspond with the IP address of the machine you want to log from.
Some systems require the IP is static, any way, I haven't had this problem with the Tru64 UNIX, however double check the IP address if the workstation is DHCP enabled

Hi,

can you post the last lines of securettys and lmf list?

greetings,

Michael

1. check if ssh or tcp wrapper is still enabled (/etc/inetd.conf).

2. if it was an update, check permission of /etc/protocols

3. there are no trial licenses available because base license depending on number of cpu's and model.

Hi All
As suggested by you Guys i have added the suggested lines to /etc/securettys file and checked the /etc/inetd.conf file but the result is same.i am writing down the last lines of securettys files.
/dev/console
local 0
:0
ptys
192.168.0.123_1:0 !as suggested

Following are the lmf list output
Product status User: total active
OSF-USR ACTIVE Unlimited
OSF-Base Active Unlimited

whatelse more can be checked to resolve this issue.On previous installation of TRU64unix 5.1b on AS4100 i had just added this line to securettys and it did the work but now it is not working.

One more thing..
i want to install Patchkit3 on this server.i have downloaded and copied this to the desired this server.i have untar this patchkit.now how can i make it available to system so that i may install it.
i have followed the procedure mentioned in the patchkit installation manual but when i try to make it available to system, it reports error program not registerd.following is the porocedure that i am following.

Patchkit location after tar.
/usr/patchkit3/patch_kit
command that i am using
/usr/sbin/mount /patchkit3/patch_kit@jahil /mnt

when i enter the above stated command the following error is reportd
"can't get NFS port from portmap server at jahil:RPC:program not registered"

Please mention where i am wrong and how can i make this kit available to system so that i may install it.

Hi,

two things:
use 192.168.0.123:0
_1 was part of the hostname.

Why do you want to use nfs? You said, you copied the pk onto the server, you wanted to install it, right? So the do:
boot the machine in single user mode or use init s
mount -a
cd /usr/patchkit3/patch_kit
./dupatch

have fun,

Michael

[Ralf Puchner]

time to read the documentation delivered with the patch kit:

- local patchkit copy
- dupatch

/etc/securettys:
local:0 not "local 0"

"_" within hostnames are not supported, have a look into RFC952! So be sure the hostname and IP could be used. Use nslookup, ping with hostname and IP to verify proper work. What does "hostname" command say? The output must match the /etc/host and /etc/securettys entry. Use the syntax

IP longname shortname

within /etc/hosts.

HI All
just installed patch kit3.After installing i am being denied to login from console with root login.
i had changed the /etc/securettys as suggested by u guys.
i had tried to login from remote system by using telnet but the result was same prior to installing patch kit3.
now what could be the problem and how can i resolve this issue so that i may at least login from console?????

[Ralf Puchner]

changing /etc/securettys is not the solution for all of your problems! Please check permission of /etc/protocols, be sure you have changed the /etc/rc.config and /etc/hosts to reflect hostname.

could you please more specific where you will get the message? During telnet login, CDE login or console text mode?
