The best answer came from John Douglass. He
sent me this info:
SRDB ID: 20768
SYNOPSIS: Jumbo Kernel Patch 106541-##
gives utmp and utmpx errors
It explains exactly what the problem was, and
two methods of repair. Thanks very much to
John and all the other respondents.
Original message follows:
Hello all.
And I was doing so well. I posted a question the
other day about printtool problems. Deb
Crocker opined that it was a known bug, with a
fix. I had some other problems that had fixes, so
I figured I should get the latest patch cluster and
run it, then see what problems were left over. I
did that, and rebooted, and now get the error
messages:
Cannot create /var/adm/utmp
Cannot create /var/adm/utmpx
I'm given a boot mode promt, with selections 0-6
and Standalone, but can get no further no matter
what I enter.
The faq's don't mention this, and of course I
can't get to the on-line docs, as I can't get the
system to run.
Anyone know how to recover from this?
TIA
Bob White
