Common Problems With tip Connections
This section describes solutions for tip problems occurring in Solaris Operating
Environments versions previous to 2.0.
Problems with tip may occur if:
■ The lock directory is missing or incorrect.
There should be a directory named /usr/spool/uucp . The owner should be uucp
and the mode should be drwxr-sr-x .
■ The ttyb serial port is enabled for logins.
The status field for ttyb (or the serial port you are using) must be set to off in
/etc/ttytab . Be sure to execute kill -HUP 1 (see init(8) ) as root if you have
to change this entry.
