Hi, E-buddies: Please accept my apology if my question is put in the wrong group. Recently, I connected an Apollo workstation (BSD DOMAIN/IX) to the local area network (Ethernet) at the University of Oregon. But I got a problem. I cannot rlogin the Apollo workstation. The message (double underlined) I got back is % rlogin apollo rlogind: All network ports in use. ================================== When I tried telnet, it seemed working but I got another painful message as soon as logged on: % telnet apollo Trying... Connected to apollo-gateway. Escape character is '^]'. 4.2 BSD DOMAIN/IX (uo_apollo_1) login: root Password: Welcome to BSD4.2 DOMAIN/IX! B# ls acl_protos patches Connection closed by foreign host. ================================== I thought it might be that the port that the Apollo tried to use is occupied by another host, however, I did not find any. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it, or give me some hints? Thanks in advance. Wing Wingkuen Chung P. O. Box 3120 | chung@cs.uoregon.edu Eugene, OR 97403 | University of Oregon.

Just a guess but I would say you might have one of two problems, either your system doesn't have any ptyp's and/or ttyp's made in the /dev directory, this should be easy enough to check; or your kernel may not be configured with these drivers actually in it. To check if that is the case, assuming you find, say, /dev/ttyp0, try and cat > /dev/ttyp0 and see if you get some message like "no such device or address". If this does happen you are going to have to reconfigure and build a new kernel. If it turns out that you simply have no /dev/ttyp* or /dev/ptyp* all you have to worry about is what majors to use and mknod them. -- Jack F.
