We are running conserver version 8.1.7, using the UDS socket feature for
client/server communications. We recently modified our conserver
configuration files to call our terminal server directly using the "type
host" syntax.
An example configuration entry looks like this:
default csm {
logfile /var/log/consoles/&;
timestamp 1da;
rw *;
master c104hc01.clusters.com;
}
console f1x345n01.clusters.com {
include csm;
type host;
host 192.168.1.25;
port 2900;
}
Whenever we open a console to this server, the console opens in read-only
mode, even if we don't specify -s:
[root@c104hc01 conserver]# /opt/conserver/bin/console
f1x345n01.clusters.com
[Enter `^Ec?' for help]
[read-only -- initializing]
hitting some keystrokes here results in:
[read-only -- use ^E c ? for help]
[read-only -- use ^E c ? for help]
[read-only -- use ^E c ? for help]
[read-only -- use ^E c ? for help]
We can use the Ctrl E-c-f sequence to get into read/write mode:

If we change the configuration file back to this:
default csm {
logfile /var/log/consoles/&;
timestamp 1da;
rw *;
master c104hc01.clusters.com;
}
console f1x345n01.clusters.com {
include csm;
type exec;
exec "/usr/kerberos/bin/telnet 192.168.1.25 2900";
}
everything works:
[root@c104hc01 conserver]# /opt/conserver/bin/console

[Enter `^Ec?' for help]

Is there anything else that needs to be added to the config file to get the
console opened in read/write mode? I would have thought the "rw *" in the
default block would be enough.
Thanks,
