Correcting terminal lockouts under SCO Unix V/386

When the message

Cannot obtain database information on this terminal

is displayed when a user is trying to login the remedy is to remove the file /etc/auth/system/ttys-t using the command

rm -f /etc/auth/system/ttys-t

To ensure logins are enabled after a period of time this command should be placed in the crontab file for root using the line

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * rm -f /etc/auth/system/ttys-t

This will remove the file (if it exists) every five minutes.
