Hi,

 I am facing a strange problem while login to my netbsd box. Neither I am
able to login through console i.e. /dev/console and other relevant
/dev/ttyE* nor I am able to login through telnet. Though ftp to this box is
working perfectly well. I have tried login by using both root as well as a
normal user.

At the console its not providing me password prompt and it gives me the
login prompt back, with theerrors on my console....getty spwaning too
quickly on /dev/console or /dev/ttyE*.

When I do telnet onto this box from a remote system I get the error,
connection closed..i.e.
# \telnet opel
Trying 139.85.235.192...
Connected to opel.hss.hns.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

NetBSD/i386 (opel.hss.hns.com) (ttyp0)

Connection closed by foreign host.
#

I have tried commenting the consoles and ttyE* entries in /etc/ttys files but it has been of no use. I have also checked up the entries for telnet and
 login
in /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services file and they also seem to be fine. Even tried fsck manualy many a times but that has also been of no use.
I have even recreated all the tty devices in /dev directory using the command # /dev/MAKEDEV all, but still the problem exists.

Any help to sort out this problem would be highly appreciated.

Thanx in Advance.

Regds,
- Rajan
