Operating Systems SCO Telnet session disconnects abruptly Post 302953013 by jgt on Monday 24th of August 2015 11:19:35 PM

Sorry for the typo, 'grep /etc/passwd' was what I meant.
I would like you to change the last line of the .profile for the user with the most problems.
Remove the word 'exec' from the last line.
The file should look like:
Code:
umask 0000
mx gmain

If you do this, and the disconnect is from the application code, the terminal session will not end, but leave the user with a $ command prompt.
If you have X-Windows running, you can use the editor to change the .profile, otherwise log in as root, and type the following commands:
Code:
#cd /u/username
#vi .profile
<esc>:$<cr>
s/exec//<cr>
<esc>:q<cr>
#

RXTELNET(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       RXTELNET(1)

NAME
rxtelnet -- start a telnet and forward X-connections. SYNOPSIS
rxtelnet [-l username] [-k] [-t telnet_args] [-x xterm_args] [-K kx_args] [-w term_emulator] [-b telnet_program] [-n] [-v] host [port] DESCRIPTION
The rxtelnet program starts an xterm window with a telnet to host host. From this window you will also be able to run X clients that will be able to connect securely to your X server. If port is given, that port will be used instead of the default. If setting up the X forwarding failes, rxtelnet will still telnet in to the remote host, but without X forwarding. The supported options are: -l Log in on the remote host as user username. -k Disables keep-alives. -t Send telnet_args as arguments to telnet. -x Send xterm_args as arguments to xterm. -X Send kx_args as arguments to kx. -w Use term_emulator instead of xterm. -b Use telnet_program instead of telnet. -n Do not start any terminal emulator. -v Be verbose. EXAMPLE
To login from host foo (where your display is) to host bar, you might do the following. 1. On foo: rxtelnet bar 2. You will get a new window with a telnet to bar. In this window you will be able to start X clients. SEE ALSO
