rlogin Issue

SPARC: After Applying Fix for Bug 5104883 Logging Out of rlogin On Console Generates Corrupt Output (6403830)

When this problem occurs, no actual error message is displayed. However, when the process exits from an rlogin session, the normal message "Connection closed ..." may become corrupted.

Workaround: No action or workaround is available or required.

Theoretically, this could cause a console hang. However, this has not happened in any testing nor have any customers reported this behavior. In all cases encountered so far, the only detected anomaly is the corruption of the "Connection closed ..." message. In the extreme case where a serial console might end up hung and no further connection can be made to it, the machine in question should still be accessible via telnet or ssh or other remote access protocols. Nevertheless, the serial console will remain hung until a reboot.
