From: Nickolai Zeldovich <kolya@MIT.EDU>
System name: m38-370-14.mit.edu
Type and version: Ultra-5_10 8.4.15
Display type: m (another bug?)
Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager: ctwm -s
What were you trying to do?
Log in on the console of an Ultra 5.
What's wrong:
I got the following behavior:
login: kolya
Warning -- ttymon cannot allocate controlling tty on "/dev/console",
there may be another session active on this port.
Password for kolya:
login.krb5: tcsetpgrp: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Athena Workstation (sun4) Version 8.4.15 Tue Oct 24 05:19:42 EDT 2000
Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device).
Thus no job control in this shell.
Running standard startup activities ...
[...]
(Note there was no message "Console login requested" before
the login: prompt.) ps -ef didn't show anything particularly
interesting; the processes with ?? in the TTY column were:
root 5828 1 0 12:00:06 ?? 0:00 /usr/bin/login
kolya 5862 5828 0 12:00:24 ?? 0:00 -tcsh
root 5899 5862 0 12:02:34 ?? 0:00 ps -ef
Logging out, and selecting "Console login" from xlogin again
produced a fully functional login session, with a "Console
login requested" banner.
What should have happened:
I should have been able to get a fully functional login
session on the console, with job control and such.
