Next step: Wait a period of time and try again. If this message persists, the server’s host may

have runaway processes that are using all the entries in the process table.

Cannot allocate pty on remote host

The server was unable to obtain a pseudo-terminal for use with the login process. Either all

pseudo-terminals were in use, or the pty driver has not been properly set up. Note, the number

of slave devices that can be allocated depends on NSTRPTY, a kernel tunable parameter. This

can be changed via SAM (see ptm(7), pts(7)).

Next step: Check the pty conﬁguration of the host where rlogind executes.

Permission denied

The server denied access because the client was not using a reserved port. This should only hap-

pen to interlopers trying to break into the system.

/usr/bin/login: ...

The login program could not be started via exec(2) for the reason indicated.

Next step: Try to correct the condition causing the problem. If this message persists, contact

your system administrator.

WARNINGS

The ‘‘privileged port’’ authentication procedure used here assumes the integrity of each host and the con-

necting medium. This is insecure, but is useful in an ‘‘open’’ environment. Note that any passwords are

sent unencrypted through the socket connection.
