SCO crud sub database dirt



Hello,

The SCO box 5.0.6 had a hard crash today. I think the main application
on this box went nuts with a sort or something and filled /tmp

Seeing a lot of these in /usr/adm/syslog

unable to write terminal control database entry for line ttyp*

It's been a while since I've dealt with this. Found this in the NG -

cd /etc/auth/system
mv ttys /tmp/ttys.bad
(if you just copy it, you need to manually remove ttys)

touch /etc/auth/system/ttys

chown auth:auth /etc/auth/system/ttys

/tcb/bin/ttyupd

/tcb/bin/ale /etc/auth/system/ttys pttyupd

Is this what I should do ?
