HP-UX

Ok, so I've been really swamped with shcoolwork so I'm just now getting back to this. I've resolved the NIS problem by renaming namesvrs to namesvrs.old and re-running set_parms initial. I did this because every time I start vi I get a message saying...

Code:

I don't know what kind of terminal you are on, assuming "unknown"

then it displays the file line by line as I press enter to scroll down, and when I try to change something it just won't. I'm in single user mode at this point if it makes a difference.

I'm also having several other problems preventing me from booting normally. there is a problem with SNMP and some sort of Software Distrobution Manager. I have no idea what this is.

-T

try one of:

Code:

stty vt05
or 
stty sane

usually in the .profile script there is an attempt to define a tty. Try editing that.
