Wrong Host Address In Host Table; Network Logins To Bsd Hosts Are Invisible; All Network Ports Are In Use - Nortel 2000 User Manual

Chapter 1 Network Administration Book B

Wrong Host Address in Host Table

The Annex assumes that the host described in the data part of the RWHO
packet sent the packet, and the IP header's source-Internet-address field
contains the host's address. Usually, this assumption is correct because
routers do not forward broadcast packets. Some RWHO daemons do
forward RWHO packets.
You can turn off RWHO at the Annex by setting the rwho parameter to
N. RWHO entries are not added to the Annex's host table.

Network Logins to BSD Hosts are Invisible

An Annex user can rlogin or telnet to a host, but the pseudo-terminal
does not show up in a who command display. This problem is caused by
a mismatch between pseudo-terminals configured in the /dev directory
and pseudo-terminal entries in /etc/ttys. Update the /etc/ttys file to
contain the proper number of pseudo-terminals as indicated by the actual
device entries in /dev.

All Network Ports are in Use

The rlogin or telnet command is rejected after the user name is entered
in response to the login prompt. The error message all network ports in
use indicates that all available pseudo-terminals are in use. On BSD hosts,
update /etc/ttys and create more pseudo-terminals in /dev.
