[comp.sys.ncr] SVR4 error at login

nigel@cnw01.storesys.coles.oz.au (Nigel Harwood) (06/26/91)

In case you folks at NCR working on SVR4 for the 3000 haven't
had this reported yet.

I was just logging into our System 3000 (we don't have 1.0.01 yet BTW)
and it told me:

No utmpx entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh".

Sounds like something got confused ?

BTW. It's never happened before.

Regards

Serendipity strikes again?  I had noticed this a few days ago, and
input a SPEC (an internal event/method to track problems) against
this just today.  The spec number is 122142.

In truth, it is annoying...

I have seen this a number of times on NCR Tower 600's. I think that all its
telling you is that you must "exit" until you are at a login promt and then
login. Anyway thats all that I have ever had to do to satisfy the system.

Good Luck.

BTW We have V.2 with OS 2.01.02 and 1.xx.xx so I think that it is not
new to SVR4.

NOW I must add this as filler or the article will be rejected because I have
more of you text than mine. ...............................................
