console error message
 I receive the following error message when I try to logon to my Solaris 2.6 system;"No utmpx entry. You must exec "login" from lowest level "shell" " What does it mean ? I can't logon to the system at the moment! Any help appreciated. Regards |

Strange. Just a wild guess, assuming you can log in as root on the console (may have to go single user), check to see if there is a /var/adm/utmpx file. If not I would touch one.

I had the exact same problem on a SunOS box a few weeks ago. It seems someone had gone in the night before and nulled out my /etc/utmp file. Luckily, the guy had saved a copy of the original under a new name, which I was able to restore. Not sure if this helps you, but I did get the same error message you are getting.

Your quickest way out is a reboot. The utmp file will be recreated at boot time.
