Original question:
This is a message I have never seen before. When a user dials in
to my alpha 1000A thru a modem connected to the serial port, the
message
Terminal disabled --- See system administrator
What is the command to enable the terminal?
And with many thanks, the responses...

Hi Ron,
Here are the procedure notes we use.
On the Digital machine when someone is unsuccessful at logging in a couple
of times, Digital Unix will disable the terminal.
The user will get a message that says something like
Terminal is disabled contact account administrator.
To fix the problem
cd /etc/auth/system
vi ttys
Search for t_failures
/t_failures
Delete this field from ":" to the next ":"
The user should now be able to login.
Cheers Glenn.

Try to use edauth:
/tcb/bin/edauth -dt -r t_unsucuid /dev/ttyxxx
You can also disable disabling :) terminals by using command dxdevices,
where you can set for each or all terminals, how many unsuccessful logins
lock a specific terminal.
