user cannot login into AIX-6.1 server
Dear Friends ,
I got a problem In our AIX 6.1 server . When I start or restart the machine I cannot Login the server . It shows a dialog box and shows some comments , those are :
>>
The DT messaging system could not be started .
To correct the problem :
1. Choose [OK] to return the login screen
2. Select Failsafe Session from the login screen's option menu and log in
3. Check to see that the hostname is corrected by using the command :
smit mktcpip
4. Check to see that if a search list is specified in /etc/resolv.conf, it includes the domain your machine is configured on .
For Additional information , see the DT user's Guide . >>
Now I myself try all above the four ways and did not find any errors . I check also IP , resolv.conf , /etc/hosts files also . But the problem is not solved .
Would anybody plz suggest me , How can I resolve this problem ?

bos_getrestricted
BOS_GETRESTRICTED(8) AFS Command Reference BOS_GETRESTRICTED(8)
NAME
bos_getrestricted - Displays whether a bos server is restricted or not
SYNOPSIS
bos getrestricted -server <machine name> [-cell <cell name>]
[-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
The bos getrestricted command shows whether the server machine named by the -server argument is running in restricted mode.
Restricted mode limits access to certain bos commands. See bos_setrestricted(8) for details of which commands are disabled by restricting a
server.
Use the bos setrestricted command to restrict, or un-restrict, a server.
OPTIONS
-server <machine name>
Indicates the server machine for which to display the restart times. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-
qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see
bos(8).
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket
to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see
bos(8).
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
OUTPUT
The output consists of a single line
Restricted mode is <val>
Where <val> is "on" or "off"
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
None
