Hi Fellow Sys Admins -
I just returned from maternity leave and updated a few of
my machines using the CSLG (Campus-wide Software License
Grant) that we have with DEC. One of my machines suddenly
started to give me the following message whenever I try to
log on as myself or as root.
enterprise 42> telnet asgard
Trying 129.92.2.36 ...
Connected to asgard.
Escape character is '^]'.
OSF/1 (asgard.afit.af.mil) (ttyp1)
Cannot obtain database information on this terminal
Connection closed by foreign host.
enterprise 43>
It is a DEC AlphaStation 200 4/233 running 3.2C. It is a secure NIS
client of the secure NIS server. I can not find my security manual
to help me (if it could) fix this problem so I am asking you for help.
What do I do to fix this and does anyone know why updating licenses
would cause this problem. That is the only change that has been made
to this machine since I set it up as a secure client a year ago.
Thank you for any help and insight.
