It seems that you have to reboot after using that lovely "devices" command in AIX 2.2. Now all I have to do is persuade telnet that no, it doesn't want to use ^T as the escape character. -- @disclaimer(Any concepts or opinions above are entirely mine, not those of my employer, my GIGI, or my 11/34) beak is@>beak is not Anthony A.

It is likely that what you did was to change the "ae" status to "true" and "logger" to "true", thus causing AIX to start a getty on the selected pty _during boot_. Basically, this just modified /etc/ports, unless you were also creating the pty, in which case the /dev entries were created at the same time. You didn't need to reboot after doing that. You could have just used the penable command to start the getty. then again, rebooting was probably a lot faster than waiting for this answer :-). To reset your telnet escape character, change the variable TNESC to the three digit octal value of the escape character that you want. as in: $ TNESC=001 $ export TNESC I've found that setting it to something totally invalid, like the string -1, seems to turn it off, but I couldn't guarantee that behavior, and I haven't tested it thoroughly. I think that this is documented in the TCP/IP Interface Program Manual, but I can't find mine right now, since I'm at home. (I had to edit the module to find the string for the name of the environment variable.) -- Nick Simicich --- uunet!bywater!scifi!njs --- njs@ibm.com (Internet)

(where ? is the appropriate number) should enable it for login. No reboot should be needed. tn (telnet) respects an environment variable TNESC, which is the octal value of the escape character, e.g., I use TNESC=31 for ^Y. -- C.H.
