Hi everyone,

I got a few helpful responses.

The one that helped solve my particular problem is ....

                Make sure you have a file called /etc/autopush.conf. It
should just contain at least this one line (after comments).
                6 -1 0 ldterm
                If it's missing, create it and then do this, or reboot.
                /sbin/init.d/streams
                Also, make sure the controlling tty device is correct.
                # file /dev/tty
                /dev/tty: character special (1/0)

My problem was related to the /sbin/init.d/streams script. It was missing. I
don't know how or why, but when I copied it over from another system,
everything started working.

Another response I received which may help someone else is...

                you must be using Enhanced security and are being denied
access via an Xterm. The stty error is not causing your problem. In order
to allow any xterm access to your system do this:
                Make two files:
                ttyent
                *\:*:t_devname=*\:*:t_login_timeout#0:t_xdisplay:chkent:
                and devent:
                *\:*:v_type=xdisplay:chkent:
                then pipe these to edauth like this:
                /usr/tcb/bin/edauth -d t -s < ttyent
                /usr/tcb/bin/edauth -d v -s < devent

                this will "wildcard" your devassigndb and ttydb allowing any
xterm to connect. If you want to limit it to just certain displays, read
the man page on devassign.


There were also a few other responses that helped narrow things down that
aren't mentioned here. Thanks to everyone.
