I have a Microvax II (2 actually) running Ultrix 4.1. There seems to be a
problem with rlogin or rlogind. I can rlogin to other systems from the
Microvax just fine. However, when I try to rlogin to the Microvax from
anywhere, I get an error "can't open /dev/console. Too many open files".
In /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog, I get an entry "rlogind not found, /dev/ttypb"
(the entry has some other numbers and is spaced out funny like something is
missing from the error message).
The entry for rlogind is ok in /etc/inetd.conf, the sym links for rlogind and
login are all ok and point to the executables. The ttyp and ptyp files are
in /dev. Seems to me it should work. It did work for Ultrix 3.x and before.
(We didn't run Ultrix 4.0).
Other possible relavent info: we are running DNS (systems are clients only)
and YP (systems are clients only) , do not have LAT, and did not load Decnet.
I vagely seem to recall some discussion about an rlogin problem after Ultrix
4 came out but didn't follow the thread.
So, my question is, what is the cause of this problem and how should I get
it fixed. Thanks.
