Problems w/ Diskless Client & Sol 2.4

2007-12-25 8:53:00

Hi all,

Thanks to Endre Polgar (epolgar@petra.icon.hu) and Casper Dik

(casper@fwi.uva.nl) who responded to my mail. The problem was that

after installing a diskless client with only the 2.4 recommended

patches (the server got all patches applied to) rlogin and telnet to

the client failed with message

        rlogind: ioctl I_PUSH rlmod: Invalid argument.

Solution:

--------

The server got patch 102119-01 whereas the client didn't. This patch (a

not recommended one) changes the telnet and rlogin daemon. After

applying this patch to the client as well one has to make sure that

that the kernel driver is correctly being added. This is done by typing

 add_drv /kernel/drv/logindmux

as root on the client. After a "b net -r" the client was running and

telnet and rlogin OK.

Cheers,

Nils
