To pose the question proved to solve the question. We too have had the same problem on our HP 9000/360, and didn't manage to solve it, but ... after setting the permissions of the /dev directory as suggested above it works fine! Many thanks to Hans. Hpterm also has a -C option. When I set the owner, group and permissions the same as for xterm, it keeps giving the same error :-( Any HP-gurus out there to solve this one. BTW we have HP-UX dutncp6 6.5 A 9000/360.
