Jay Newman <dn5@psu.edu> Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.bugs Subject: Net-BSD console refuses new logins -- help, please. Date: 31 Oct 1993 19:16:24 GMT Organization: Penn State Lines: 29 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2b12u8$tp5@genesis.ait.psu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: magic.cac.psu.edu X-UserAgent: Nuntius v1.1.1d20 X-XXMessage-ID: <A8F986A6F5013BCA@magic.cac.psu.edu> X-XXDate: Sun, 31 Oct 93 15:13:42 GMT I am using Net-BSD 0.9-current (well, as much as I can). It has been running well for a couple of weeks, until Friday, when I recompiled sh, and then rebooted the system. This was to try to clear up a groff problem (more about that in another note). When the system comes up, I can login to the console once, but when I log out, the system refuses more input. I can still login from telnet without problem. I tried to fix this today by using the original sh that comes with Net-BSD 0.9 (taking it from the base09 distribution from sun-lamp). This didn't help anything. When I reboot I get a new error message (at least I don't think I have ever seen this before). I don't know what is producing the message. It comes up after the line "Starting local daemons:." and the date. Qabalah is the name of my machine and its kernel. The message is: Oct 31 13:34:46 qabalah init: insert 89: Bad File descriptor Any help will be appreciated. Also, if anybody can point me to the way of the mailing list for Net-BSD 0.9-current users, it might help. ()()()()()()()()()()()()() ETS--Education Technology Services ()()()()() D. Jay Newman !
