Note 749.0                      dce_login problem                     No replies
NETRIX::"scott@dwarf.wro.dec.com" "Scott Fafrak"     24 lines  18-FEB-1997 16:06
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a customer who, when running dce_login from a non-root account,
receives
the following error:

DECthreads Last Chance handler: thread 1 exiting on status exception
0x177db005
Exception: Invalid memory address (dce / thd)
Abort process

They are running:

Digital DCE V2.0a (Rev.  519) for Digital UNIX
Digital UNIX V4.0 (Rev.  386) with Patch OSF400-106

Are they not setting up something right?  Is this a bug?  Has anyone seen this

before and do you have a solution?

Thanks.

Please check and see if the OSF400-106 also requires a kernel rebuild and if so make sure that it has been done. - Mustie -- Mustafizur Rahman E-Mail: rahman@tuxedo.lkg.dec.com Project Leader, DCE for Digital UNIX Phone: (508) 486-5150 Digital Equipment Corporation, Littleton, MA FAX: (508) 486-7417 [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
2164.3	SIA is enabled	NETRIX::"scott@dwarf.wro.dec.com"	Scott Fafrak	`Thu Feb 27 1997 15:49`	8
	Mustie, Yes, they are running with SIA. I will check that the patch revision requires a kernel rebuild, and whether or not they have done so. Scott [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
2164.4	root account works fine.	NETRIX::"scott@dwarf.wro.dec.com"	Scott Fafrak	`Thu Feb 27 1997 15:51`	6
	Yes, they can run fine from the root account, but only from the root account, and that is not satisfactory. Scott [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
2164.5	Check permissions in /opt/dcelocal/var/security/creds	NETRIX::"rahman@dhaka.lkg.dec.com"	Mustie	`Wed Mar 05 1997 16:31`	15
	Hi, Please check the permission bits for the directory /opt/dcelocal/var/security/creds It should be as follows: drwxrwxrwt 2 root system 8192 Mar 5 13:27 /opt/dcelocal/var/security/creds/ Also, I assume that there is enough space in /opt/dcelocal/ which usually resides under /var/. - Mustie [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
