A DT Message error on login... other symptoms

First let me apologize for joining and posting... but this thing is killing me. I can usually solve these problems myself but I am reaching for help now. I have about 2 years Unix 8 experience but I am by no means an expert but not a newb either.

A little background.

My system runs a particular program, the program I can't really talk about but it runs on unix 8 so that's why I am asking you all for help. I got a call saying my system isn't working and they need a fix. I told them to recover from the backup tapes, they did. Same error. The error is on bootup /etc/hostname.eri0, /etc/hostname.eri1, and /etc/nodename cannot be found and/or are corrupted. The system goes onto login but once the info is entered I get the "DT message cannot be started" and to enter failsafe (which gives the same error) and cycles back to the login screen.

The files are correct, I confirmed this personally. The drive is ok, I swapped them and same error. The drive in question booted up fine on another identical system, which led me to believe it was the processor card. (They are connected by SCSI btw). Swapped the processor card, same error! I am at a loss at what would cause this.

I am sorry for the long post, and I probably left out important information that you would need to make an educated guess. Any ideas?

P.S. - Same error when you login as root. The permissions on the files have not changed and this system has worked for 1.5 years fine now, why the sudden failure??

Thank you all in advance.

login.krb5

LOGIN(8)                                                      System Manager's Manual                                                     LOGIN(8)

NAME

       login.krb5 - kerberos enhanced login program

SYNOPSIS

       login.krb5 [-p] [-fFe username] [-r | -k | -K | -h hostname]

DESCRIPTION

       login.krb5  is a modification of the BSD login program which is used for two functions.  It is the sub-process used by krlogind and telnetd
       to initiate a user session and it is a replacement for the command-line login program which, when invoked with a  password,  acquires  Ker-
       beros tickets for the user.

       login.krb5  will  prompt  for a username, or take one on the command line, as login.krb5 username and will then prompt for a password. This
       password will be used to acquire Kerberos Version 5 tickets (if possible.) It will also attempt to run aklog to  get  AFS  tokens  for  the
       user.  The  version 5 tickets will be tested against a local krb5.keytab if it is available, in order to verify the tickets, before letting
       the user in. However, if the password matches the entry in /etc/passwd the user will be unconditionally  allowed  (permitting  use  of  the
       machine in case of network failure.)

OPTIONS

       -p     preserve the current environment

       -r hostname
              pass hostname to rlogind.  Must be the last argument.

       -h hostname
              pass hostname to telnetd, etc.  Must be the last argument.

       -f name
              Perform pre-authenticated login, e.g., datakit, xterm, etc.; allows preauthenticated login as root.

       -F name
              Perform pre-authenticated login, e.g., datakit, xterm, etc.; allows preauthenticated login as root.

       -e name
              Perform pre-authenticated, encrypted login.  Must do term negotiation.

CONFIGURATION

       login.krb5  is  also  configured via krb5.conf using the login stanza. A collection of options dealing with initial authentication are pro-
       vided:

       krb5_get_tickets
              Use password to get V5 tickets. Default value true.

       krb_run_aklog
              Attempt to run aklog. Default value false.

       aklog_path
              Where to find it [not yet implemented.] Default value $(prefix)/bin/aklog.

       accept_passwd
              Don't accept plaintext passwords [not yet implemented]. Default value false.

DIAGNOSTICS

       All diagnostic messages are returned on the connection or tty associated with stderr.
