I'm trying to finish tweaking a few new SCO boxes and whenver I try to telnet from one of my existing SCO boxes, I get teh following error(upon supplying the correct login/password):

---snip---

WARNING: System is in an unreliable state. You may be violating the Software License Agreement by having unlicensed software on your system. Please enter Single User Mode and contact your SCO supplier.
NOTICE: Login denied.
telnetd: set_id() failed: Invalid argument.
Connection closed by foreign host.
---end snip---

Can anyone lend a little insight? I can ftp and ping, but not establish a telnet/rexec/rlogin session to save my life(it's nearly getting to that point too).

I've spent hours trying to make this work with no success. ANY leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The only match I find for your message indicates an install problem with defering permanent licensing during the initial install, if the install was after 2001.

If this is the problem, scoadmin license manager will show UW7's license expired 3/15/1990.

Oh... I forgot to ask, where might I find the TA# 113401 document?
