I have searched the /usr/adm/messages file and do not see the hardware except for the very beginning of the file which is from years ago before I started,
is there a way to get this information from today?
The NIC card still has the Same MAC address.
I also see the following information from the messages file ---------- Post updated at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous update was at 10:50 AM ----------
sorry about the "custom" formatting.
Here it is again ---------- Post updated at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous update was at 10:57 AM ----------
Thank you edfair,
I have a separate DHCP Server running on the Cable router providing addresses for all of the devices, wired and wireless. Are you suggesting setting up a DHCP range for the wireless devices and setting the wired device which require Telnet access to static?
Earlier versions of the OS created and appended the hardware discovery information to the messages file on every boot. I suspect that this is an issue you should look at some time in the future as it is the start of most diagnostic routines. (I assume you have rebooted since 2009)
I had mentioned going static with the terminals as something I had done in my installations. It makes network diagnostics somewhat easier.
@Ed, version 6.0.0 does not display the same startup screen as Openserver 5, and that same information is not recorded in /usr/adm/messages.
Sean, you should download and install some additional patches.
OSS711E, OSS714A, P535239A,P535243B.
These are all available at Xinuos, Inc. | Support | Update | Download | Product
There may be others that are also useful (network drivers, hba.)

Thank you. I will look into these. I just wonder why after having worked for about a month why it stopped and started disconnecting randomly. Being in IT I know anything, especially a bug in software and rear it ugly head at anytime, but it still perplexes me.
I do see several TCP retransmissions and the Users computers send a TCP RST in wireshark just before every session is disconnected, and so maybe new drivers and updates will help. I will have to check with the Developer that created the proprietary database software as I don't want to completely stop what access they have now. Working on a 20 year old machine and hard drives causes anxiety. I hope that will correct the issue, I should know in a couple of days and will post progress.
All of the help and suggestions are greatly appreciated
To all.
I still need your help on this one.
My apologies on the delay, but I needed to get approval to load the SCO fixes as listed by jgt but this was completed on Friday August 21st and as of today the issue happened again. My user was connected via telnet into the server working in the database application an suddenly they just get disconnected. Depending on what terminal emulation program they are using they see "telnet session terminated" on the screen or the entire screen just disappears. Again this depends on how the terminal emulation program responds to being disconnected. Any help, ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Can you try the following demontstration.
The telnet session disappears.
Can you determine how the application code is started?
The output shows the user, uid,groupid,name, home directory, and shell. Separated by colons.
Is the home directory the same for all users.
Is the shell, a common shell (sh,ksh,bash,rksh) or is it the application program?
If it is not the application program, what are the last several lines of the user's .profile (this is a file called .profile in the user's home directory.)
Before trying anything we should know if all users share a common home directory.
jgt,
Thank you again for the help. I now understand how the program is being started thanks to you training script and the exec command.
I can see that the application is initiated through the user's .profile using the exec command
if I try a
I get
But I can see that in /etc/passwd
Every user has their own home directory, and the shell is common
Here is a .profile
I can see the "exec mz gmain" and when I run that command after I SSH into the box to the command prompt I get right to the application main menu.
I am not clear on the if then else statements but do know that I set the terminal emulator program to use term type as "ansi"
Does this help at all?
Thanks
Hi,
Sorry if this question has been asked before, however, I have tried looking in the forum (and google in general) and I haven't found an answer, so I thought I'd ask here.

Our network administrators implemented some sort of check to kill idle sessions and now burden is on us to run some sort of keep alive. Client based keep alive doesn't do a very good job. I have same issue with ssh. Does solution 2 provided above apply for ssh sessions also? (1 Reply)

Hello,
I have AIX 5.3 at home connected to netgear router. Port Forwarding has been enabled on the router. Problem is that if I want to telnet, I have to try 2 or 3 times before I can get a logon prompt.

We're having problems getting disconnected from AIX with our telnet sessions.
