Suddenly, a PI no longer allows anyone to log in to the console screen. Remote logins work fine. It goes along fine loading 4sight, then: Network security violation Rejected connection from LOCALHOST The hosts table has not been changed in eons. What is wrong? (It is a 4D/20 running IRIX 3.1) Thanks, John yates@a.chem.upenn.edu

Try to turn off the 'NetSecurityWanted' variable in /usr/NeWS/lib/NeWS/init.ps
(I supposed that you may telnet to the PI then modify it)
The problem related to the 'newshost', read the man page for details.

Solved! I figured it out this morning and an hour or two later the correct solution (thanks for all the other helpful suggestions though) came in from Peter Jaspers-Fayer, SOFPJF@vm.uoguelph.ca . A few days ago I created /usr/etc/resolv.conf . I had an incorrect domain name in it. A look at SYSLOG showed bootp gethostbyname failures and eventually bootp/udp server failing (looping), service terminated. I then suspected my new resolv.conf, and that turned out to be it.
