I'm a problem on boot sco unix 5.0.5 open server.

(See this image [1])

I'm try this:

1) http://www.digipedia.pl/usenet/threa...093/#post37094

2) SCO: SCO Unix - Server hangs going to multi-user

3) System hangs "Type CONTROL-d" or "Current System Time" prompts.

Help me please!!!

Very thanks!!!

Boot the system to single user mode and run:
#authck -a
If this does not clear the problem, then in single use mode, edit the following file:
/etc/auth/system/ttys
so that all the lines look like the following format

Code:

tty02:t_devname=tty02:chkent:
tty03:t_devname=tty03:chkent:
tty04:t_devname=tty04:chkent:
tty05:t_devname=tty05:chkent:
tty06:t_devname=tty06:chkent:
tty07:t_devname=tty07:chkent:
tty08:t_devname=tty08:chkent:

including the lines for ttyp1 to ttypnn.
Then reboot.

Jgt very thanks for yours response!!!.

I try:

# authck -a

And the system not working (and harddisk not working)...

Next:

Add the line:

ttyp01:t_devname=tty01:chkent

"including the lines for ttyp1 to ttypnn"

What is "ttypnn"?

Can you say an example?

Can you see this pictures [1] [2]

[1] /etc/auth/system/ttys (damaged)

dsc01831

[2] /etc/auth/system/ttys (new)

dsc01832

In the ttys file there should be one line for each configured terminal. You will have terninals named ttyp1 through ttyp99 if you have tcp installed. If you only have the 'host' version of the operating system then you will not have any.
Are you able to boot the system to single user mode?

Hi jgt!, thanks for your response!

Ok

Sorry, but I do not understand!


Yes, on CTRL+D Phase, i entry the root password and enable # prompt!

Thanks and sorry for my english!

I try this:

Rebuild ttys file from inittab including pseudo ttys after crash.

System hangs "Type CONTROL-d" or "Current System Time" prompts.

And not found!

Rebuilding the ttys from the inittab file does the same thing as editing the file.

Does the system display anything on the console after you type <ctrl>D to enter multi-user mode?

Sorry but i understand!

JGT this is the screen:

Thanks!
