Greetings -
I'm having some unfortunate problems attempting to use PolyCenter
Console Manager on my OSF/1 v3.2 DEC 3000-300 (via LAT to a DS200
which has a DEC 7000-620 console attached) and crashing my system.
# setld -i | grep -i console
DCROSF151 installed Console Mgr V1.5 ECO 1
DCROSFBASE150 installed Console Mgr Base
DCROSFBIN150 installed Console Mgr OSF/1 AXP
DCROSFENS150 installed Console Mgr Event Notification
DCROSFMAN150 installed Console Mgr Man Pages
DCRREL150 installed Console Mgr Rel Notes

Full or Brief listing? [f=full, b=brief] (b): f
Output file (stdout):
System Name = glacier
Information =
Connection = LAT (terminal server)
Terminal Server = LAT_08002Bnnnnnn
Server Port = GLACIER-CONS

Scan Profile =
Icon filename = DEC_7000.xbm
Console line = Enabled
Logging is enabled, directory = /var/opt/console/logs
when the Terminal Device is /dev/tty02, or /dev/lat/621, I get
the following when I try to start console manager:
# /sbin/init.d/consoled start
POLYCENTER Console Manager starting.

*but* when I leave the "/dev/" off of the Termianl Device entry, this
doesn't happen, but I get a 'can't open device or file' message when
attempting to connect to the console device (seems obvious to me).
(/etc/inittab has no lat entries per the console manager user's guide).

Any ideas? Do I have a hardware problem? A software (LAT device driver)
problem? Anybody else using PolyCenter Console Manager? The docs say to
set up the Terminal Server just like one would set it up for a Printer -
it looks to be correct to me, am I missing something?
Thanks in advance, I'm also sending this off via DSNlink to CSC, summary
is pending a solution.
