Terminal Allocation Problem
Hello All,

I am facing a problem on SCO Open Server V 5x, We are using serial communication on dumb terminals, right now i am facing a problem on some terminals, as they are not showing thier previous tty no, as tty13 or tty18, but they are showing ttya6 or ttya4, i also tried to move and link them but problem is still pending, we are using some programs set on there previous tty nos, pls help me to overcome this problem, as they are giving error "Terminal not Allocated or Deactivated"
Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Awadhesh

Re
There are only 8 dumb terminals on this small server, so no idle users are there to kill.

What does the inittab tty entries look like? Look in the /etc directory and vi the inittab file.

Look for the tty entries.

From what your saying, there is a conflict somewhere. Either in the inittab or hwconfig.

Your inittab entries should have the tty13 and tty18 entries. They should be in your serial settings(if using a serial card for the extra ports). I would check and see if any hardware has been replaced that may give you an IRQ conflict.
