- We also noticed that in the /usr/adm/messages file, there are about 600
- lines like this:
-
- Nov 4 12:45:13 cerebus getty: /dev/ttya: No such device or address
- Nov 4 12:55:23 cerebus getty: /dev/ttya: No such device or address
- Nov 4 13:05:32 cerebus getty: /dev/ttya: No such device or address
-
- Also /dev/ttya's permissions were set to -rw--w--w- instead of -rw-rw-rw-.
- But after changing the permissions back the post still wouldn't work
- over the terminal server. Any help at all is greatly apreciated.
