Recently I posted the following question:

> When I invoke the "layered shell" shl on my
> ATT 3B2 computer I receive the following 
> error message:
> 
> 	no control channels available (errno=6)
> 
> What does this mean and how can I fix it?
> Thanks.

and received many responses by mail. The following,
however proved the most helpful and I thought I'd share it:


-> 	HA!!!   I was bit by this a while ago and it drove me up
-> a wall!!  I had been running shl just fine.  And then it went
-> away.  Turns out I had a partial system crash, and did a 
-> partial restore from the original floppies.  The gotcha
-> is that there is a file /etc/system, that has to have the line
-> INCLUDE: SXT
-> in it.  This line gets removed in a partial restore!
-> Just edit that file, add that line and do a cold boot from
-> erom.  Instead of answering unix to the question of which file
-> to load off the hard disk, say '/etc/system'
-> Good luck.

Thank you Randy, and thank you to all the others who responded.
My 3B2 is feeling much better now.
