Hi,Folks,

I stuck at CDE Login (it runs as a "Loop")

I got these errors from Solaris 8 :

kstat_open(): can't open /dev/kstat: No such device or address

/dev/ptmx: No such device or address
unable to get pty: No such device or address
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

I'm wondering that this cause is from Solaris Kernel/Module problem.

Anyway to install only Solaris system file(or kernel) or repair
without effect user data?

Best Regards,
Warachet S.

Check the permissions of /dev and /devices.
Maybe someone "fixed" the permissions and made them unreadable.

# ls -ld /dev
drwxr-xr-x 16 root sys /dev

# ls -ld /devices
drwxr-xr-x 4 root sys /devices

# ls -l /dev/kstat /dev/ptmx
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root /dev/kstat -> ../devices/pseudo/kstat@0:kstat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root /dev/ptmx -> ../devices/pseudo/clone@0tmx

# ls -lL /dev/kstat /dev/ptmx
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 90, 0 Mar 18 2002 /dev/kstat
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 11, 23 Mar 18 2002 /dev/ptmx
