I'm starting to wonder what's wrong with some networking commands in AIX 3. I have opened an APAR concerning the fact that FTP (outgoing) works for me only as a superuser. Otherwise, I don't have the chance to enter the password after entering the username, and the "ftp-login" procedure process fails, due to "INVALID LOGIN" (of course, it never gave me the chance to enter the pw..) My SR reproduced the problem on his machine, but what solved it for him was to replace telnetd with the netnetd from the rlease before 3002 (remember 3002's was broken ?..). It didn't help me, though, and the problem is still open (my PMR is: 2672x, issues at IBM Tel-Aviv, aka TELVM1). The problem occurs to me both on Ethernet and on Token Ring, as well as when I try to ftp the localhost. /Zvika Zvika Bar-Deroma Phone: (+972)-4-292706 Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Fax : (+972)-4-231848 Technion Haifa 32000 Israel BITNET : AER7101@TECHNION Internet : AER7101@TECHNION.TECHNION.AC.IL UUCP : ...!uunet!pucc.princeton.edu!technion!aer7101

[...] We had this problem at Illinois, briefly, a while back. Look at the protection on /dev/tty; it should be 666. Yours is probably 644.

Wonder how come level 2 (or 3 ?) don't know of that issue and make me send ipreports to them... Oh well...BTW - on my machine the protection on /dev/tty was 622. >Marc Andreessen___________University of Illinois Materials Research Laboratory >Internet: andreessen@uimrl7.mrl.uiuc.edu____________Bitnet: andreessen@uiucmrl /Zvika
