No session was started. The name of the pseudo-TTY for the
session could not be determined. Function = ttyname(), terminal name
= 'string', file descriptor = number,
errno = number (X'hexnum'),
reason code = hexnum, message = 'string'
Explanation
The login program tried to obtain the name of
the pseudo-TTY used for the shell session. An error occurred when
the login program issued ttyname(). The
shell session did not start.
Because the start of the shell
session was not recorded in the /etc/utmpx file, certain shell
commands may show that the user is not logged on. This problem clears
up when the next user logs on to the shell using the same pseudo-TTY
this user had.
In the message text:
- terminal name = 'string'
- The name of the terminal returned by ttyname().
- file descriptor = 'number'
- The file descriptor of the pseudo-TTY passed to ttyname().
- errno = number (X'hexnum')
- The errno value returned by the system for this error. For more
information about this errno value, see z/OS XL C/C++ Runtime Library Reference.
If errno = 0, no errno information is available from the system for
this error.
- reason code = hexnum
- The reason code returned by the system for this error. For more
information about this reason code, see z/OS UNIX System Services Programming: Assembler Callable Services Reference.
- message = 'string'
- A system error message that describes this error as reported by
errno. If errno = 0, this message is not meaningful.
