Login
Terminal /dev/ttyp?? is disabled -- see Account Administrator
A terminal may be locked out due to excessive login attempts.
- Workaround
- It is sometimes possible to make multiple, simultaneous login attempts to round-robin to a pseudo-tty that is not locked.
- Investigate
- If login is successful, check /etc/auth/system/ttys.
- man ttys
- grep lock /etc/auth/system/ttys
- scoadmin
- System
- Terminal Manager
- Examine
- ttyp??
- grep Accepted.password.for.root /var/adm/syslog
- Remediate
- After determining extent of the problem, and potential compromise of account passwords, various unlock options exist:
- ttyunlock ttyp??
- scoadmin
- System
- Terminal Manager
- Unlock
- ttyp??
- Host routes?
- Make sure all inbound connections are not mapped to the same public IP. This defeats use of host routes.
Shutdown
- System will not shutdown; must be super-user message shown
- /etc/reboot may workaround an inability to shutdown or reboot.
