HP-UX

when i am trying to login through root i am getting following error

Last successful login for root: Tue Feb 3 16:44:40 IST-5:30 2009 on pts/tc
Last unsuccessful login for root: Tue Feb 3 16:41:01 IST-5:30 2009 on pts/tc
Please wait...checking for disk quotas
crt0: ERROR couldn't open dld.sl errno:000000002

i am able to login through normal user but not able to login through root

please provide me solution for this problem.

Is /lib linked to /usr/lib?

The number that appears in the XXXXXXXXX portion of the error message
is quite important in diagnosing the problem. This number
(without the leading zeros) corresponds to an error type defined
in /usr/include/sys/errno.h. The most common are 2, 13, and 23.

errno 2
-------
An errno of 2 corresponds to:

ENOENT 2 /* No such file or directory */

This can happen if the file dld.sl does not exist in /lib (at HP-UX 9.x)
or /usr/lib (at HP-UX 10.x). Typically, you will start getting these
errors if someone moves the directory that contains dld.sl, or moves
dld.sl itself. To resolve the problem, move it back!

Another case when you can get an errno 2 is at HP-UX 10.x when
the file is expected in its HP-UX 9.x location. This can be
worked around in the short term by symbolically linking /lib
to /usr/lib:

ln -s /usr/lib /lib

The long term solution is to make sure that the application expects
to find dld.sl in /usr/lib.

Hi trek7300,

I am facing the same problem of not being able to login through root.
We have HP-UX 11.x series server.

Can you provide some details for moving dld.sl into /usr/lib/ or restoring the link between lib and /usr/lib.

How can i execute command ln -s /usr/lib /lib as i don't have access to root and i get "ln: no permission for /lib" message when i try to run that command through other user.

What to do if the console is not working in the same server.

Thanks in advance,

Aditya.

aditya.gaur, what makes you think you have the same issue?
Many things can stop root from logging in.. First being configuring root access only allowed from console...( so you have to connect yourself first then su...)

My 2 cents:
What is in root's profile normal users dont have? (and/or the other way round )

When I see:

Code:

crt0: ERROR couldn't open dld.sl errno:000000002

I rarely believe dld.sl missing but more complaining (about crt0...)
in /usr/lib:

Code:

lrwxr-xr-t   1 root       sys             19 Jun 23  2003 crt0.o -> /usr/ccs/lib/crt0.o

and in /

Code:

lrwxr-xr-t   1 root       sys              8 Jun 23  2003 lib -> /usr/lib

Have you noticed that t at the end of the permissons? Yes this is no simple symbolic link but what HP calls a transition link, and for that you have marvellous commands like:
tlinstall, tlremove, tllist

So all at your man pages now!

Can you?
su root

This does not execute the profile.

Hi Aditya,

I missed the last part about not being able to log in as root in your previous post as I focused on the error.

As vbe said, check the permissions. If dld.sl were really missing you'd be seeing a whole lot of weirdness and loss of functionality across the system for all users.

If you don't find man page for transition link commands, then they may not be installed. You would have to get them off the coreOS CD/DVD or from a depot.
