I am having a problem with the vt100 server under
SR10.2. It gets hung up in vte_$create somewhere.
I read in the patch release notes that vtserver under
10.1 had problems (m0142) but it specifically says
only 10.1. Has anybody experienced this ?
If so, is there a patch out ?

An obvious indication that the port was hosed was that the vt100 emulator hung in one of the "create" (could have been vte_$create) routines as it tried to acquire the port.

An /etc/mkdev is worth trying. It certainly is worth trying, but all our SR10.2 systems required an '/etc/mkdev pty' (which must be done by 'root') after every vi/page/anythingelsethatusesvt100. This problem was patched eventually on some systems, but not all. Since we couldn't do anything useful in DM, we switched to X :-), which we were going to do anyways - this just supplied urgency. -- Mike Peterson, System Administrator, U/Toronto Department of Chemistry E-mail: system@alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca Tel: (416) 978-7094 Fax: (416) 978-8775
