for immediate response.
*****************************************
from richard Frank:
if get a message like: "cannot obtain database info on
this terminal..." when you try to connect...
cd /etc/auth/system; mv ttys.db ttysdb.bak
vi ttys and include info for the terminal(s) you want
to have connect,in this example "aether" is the name
of the PC.
aether\:0|aether\:0.0:t_devname=aether\:0:t_xdisplay:t_login_timeout#0:chkent:
do /usr/tcb/bin/convauth -dt to change ttys file to
ttys.db
***********This worked.***********************
I feel the related url one below ..in compaq's website
is wrong..
