Hello,

I got the following error:

No utmpx entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest level "shell". Connection closed.

when I tried to rsh a remote host or entered a login password after opening a telnet session. Please, does anybody there with a tip on how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Princegbenga.

Hi,

Check you filesystem. make sure you are not running out of space.

Hi again,

If that doesnt help, your /var/adm/utmpx could be corrupted. I suggest you truncate the file by issuing - "> /var/adm/utmpx".
