can't login at 6.2.1R1 ...

Hi

Since I've installed the 6.2.1R1 GA release NFS is working well
BUT I am unable to login from the console or to perform a telnet/rsh
session from authorized hosts . ..

I haven't change anything in configuration files.

Is there some special things to do to recover the
login ability ?

The machine is a F85

Thanks a lot.

Are the hosts listed in your filer's /etc/hosts.equiv file and/or
/etc/trusted.hosts file fully qualified? You might be experiencing a host
name lookup failure. You could try just specifying IP addresses for the
admin hosts as a temporary fix.

The solution was found by Jeff Kennedy <jlkennedy@amcc.com>

that advised me at 6.2xx the "quota on" command has to be
removed from /etc/rc file as the quota statement is now
written in registry.

Effectively after removing "quota on" from /etc/rc file
the filer reboot well and I was able to access it from the console
and from a telnet/rsh session.

Maybe some Netapp guy should explain why this happen ?

I'm a bit mystified by one aspect of this: when has it *ever* been
necessary to have "quota on" in /etc/rc ? As far back as I can
recall (even before there were multiple volumes, and long before
there was a "registry") the quota-on setting was part of the filing
system state and survived reboots just fine.
