695.0. ""Console link lost" revisited" by COMICS::MILLSS (All good things must come to an end...) Wed Apr 26 1995 17:06
I have a customer who has PCM V1.5 installed on a system that used to run VCS
V1.4. Console connections over LAT work OK, but direct, i.e. a single cable from
VAX to VAX, connections fail with the "CONSOLE LINK FOR SYSTEM LOST" message. At
the same time he gets a message from the audit server complaining of a Local 
interactive login failure on the machine he's trying to connect to on the port
with the console connection, thus -
Proces name "_TXA4:"
User "<login>"
Owner Process "SYSTEM"
Terminal _TXA4:
Imagename LOGINOUT.EXE
Status %LOGIN-F-CMDINPUT, error reading command input
Any clues, anybody ?
BTW, VCS still works if he runs that up.

|  | Simon,
  Does you customer have the MUP installed, we did some work in the MUP (actually
  I think it was in the ECO prior to the MUP) which reverted the behaviour back
  to be the same as VCS.
Cheers,
Phil

|  |     The other thing you can do to prevent this is to place the following
    command in SYLOGICALS.COM
    
    SET TERM/PERM/NOTYPEAHEAD TXAx:
    
    this turns off the typeahead buffer so that anything sent to the
    console port of the service node - like opcom messages - won't induce
    a login. This same thing could happen with VCS by the way.
    
    Regs,
      Dan
