[comp.unix.xenix] Problems after power failure

rick@crash.cts.com (Rick Stout) (03/25/90)

Hi Netters,

I have something strange happening at a site after there
was a power failure a week or so ago.

Two problems have resulted (or have shown up since the power failure).

1) During boot up while running /etc/rc there is the message
   ' p not found in /etc/gettydefs' (or something like that)

   But 'p' *is* in /etc/gettydefs, and after the system is up
   the 'ps' reports that the port with the 'p' getty does in
   fact have a 'p' getty on it, and it seems to work fine.

   Any idea why the error message?

2) Since the power failure nowone but root can log on at the tty01
   There is no problem logging in at any other terminal or screen.
   The permissions on the devices all seem to look the same.

   
Thanks!
