You have reached the right place.

Check under directory /dev. How many "ttyp[0-f]" files do you have? Who are
the owners of them? When you rlogin to an Apollo workstation, you take up the
first available "ttyp[0-f]" file, and you are assigned to be the owner of
that file. After you logout, the owner is changed back to root again.  If
all of these "ttyp[0-f]" are being used, you can not rlogin or telnet to the
system.  The solution would be to create more "ttyp[0-f]" files and
corresponding "ptyp[0-f]" files with the command "crpty".

As for the problem with telnet, I don't know the answer.  We have an Apollo
DN4000 running BSD4.3 under DOMAIN_OS 10.1. When I use telnet to access the
workstation, the computer won't even allow me to login as root directly. But
when you telnet, you still need an available "ttyp[0-f]" file to login.
