Hello hello, I have a real pain in the ass problem and we can't seem to track it down. Here's how it goes, you can be reading your mail and when you try to hit return at the '?' prompt to go to the next message, an stty error occurs. It usually comes back with "stty : : Not A Terminal", and mail proceeds as if nothing ever happened. This happens all the time, and seems to randomly. And on some basic utilities, these errors will cause the program to crash. Another one is when ever you start up a X client it usually comes back with "stty : : Can't assign requested address". This one always occurs when your trying to run a remote X client on another machine, and not always when you do it locally. And there are a couple of others too, but I forgot. It only happens when your logged in on the console and running X. We are running HP-UX 6.5 with X11R3. I looked in the man pages under stty and ioctl(2) and found nothing. Does anyone have any clue. Thanks alot, greg

Hmm, I've seen things like this as well, but not that bad... I managed to track the "Operation not supported on socket" problem down to users that have "stty" commands in their '.cshrc' file instead of the '.login' file. I hope this is of any help to you.

I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it is worth a try. Create "/usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles" with an "*" (asterisk) as the only data in the file. This files specifies which displays are allowed to grab the console. This is used with the "-C" option to hpterm and xterm. This will get rid of the message that hpterm generates in your .x11startlog about not being allowed to connect to the console. Lee Rodberg HP Rockville
