Yes, i read osf faq, but this method does not work in C2 on DU4.0b (but
it really works in C2 on OSF/1 3.0d!!):

--------->>from faq<<---------------------------------------------------
If you get the error 'Cannot obtain database information on this
terminal',
Follow this advice from the Digital support people and change the
files /etc/auth/system/ttys, /etc/auth/system/devassign and
/etc/securettys
as follows:

In the following, replace host, host.sub.domain and n.n.n.n by the
hostname, full domain name and IP address of the host(s) you are trying to
connect from.

Add lines like the following to /etc/auth/system/ttys :

host\:0:t_devname=host\:0:t_xdisplay:t_login_timeout#0:chkent:

Add lines like the following to /etc/auth/system/devassign :

host\:0:v_devs=host\:0,host.sub.domain\:0,n.n.n.n\:0:v_type=xdisplay:chkent:

Add lines like the following to /etc/securettys :

host.sub.domain:0
host:0
