CDE

Srinivas_3 — Wed, 29 Jan 2003 06:15:38 GMT

I recently installed HPUX 11.0 Jun 2002 Patch bundle on K 460 server.

When I am trying to connect using Reflection X from a PC in the same network, it prompts for the user name and password. But hangs at the Copyrights banner. I am able to login in failsafe session. I checked nslookup and all other networking things, they are fine. Also same reflection I use to connect to 10.20 server and it works fine.

Run /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt and check your /var/dt/Xerrors

Hi,

just rename your "$HOME/.dt/" and try again - the previous login did use a somewhat different name resolution and that's saved in that directory.
At least that's the reason quite often...

FWIW,

Hello
WEll To what TG had said it's good to stop & start the
# /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc

after the changes are made after getting the output of the dr_dt script .

cheers

I tried removing the .dt directory, restarting the dtlogin, rebooting the server, and installing the patches suggested in another article. Nothing worked.

Also, dr_dt script talks about some Warnings, which are more to do with the permissions of /, /var/spool etc.

please post or ammend the dr_dt errors fyi /var/spool perms will be important but the Xserver appears from your description to have already started .... it needs to create /var/spool/sockets/X11/ files .

Also add set -x in $HOME/.dtprofile, attempt to login and review $HOME/.dt/startlog ?

Lastly for now : is root affected, does this user have nfs mounted $HOME , using NIS or have an unusual $HOME env ie non standard .profile at all and is anything listed in /var/dt/Xerrors or RX's log files ? see trouble-shooting section/icon

I tried different users, all has same problem including root. This is fairly simple and new installation, no NFS, no NIS.

I have attached outputs of dr_dt, startlog in home directory and /var/dt/Xerrors all in one file.

my advise is : add pc's hostname to /etc/hosts on host1 and a valid ip address. Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to use files ONLY

test to see if problem persists . Also what did you see in Xerrors ... I missed the file in
the attachment.

Lastly there's a gut feeling I have that this might be connected with your CDE patch level and multiple network cards

any chance you could install PHSS_27426 CDE Run time patch ?

Re: CDE

Srinivas_3 — Fri, 31 Jan 2003 07:06:46 GMT

The PC already had an entry in the hosts file, and also nsswitch.conf has files for all resolvings. I tested nslookup it resolves host name and the IP both.

System had 3 Lan cards, I disabled all others and enabled only one card and connected to the network to which PC belongs. But still the same problem.

I have installed PHSS_26490, but it did not resolve the issue.

I am attaching the error file again.

A shot in the dark.

do you have inetd.sec setup.
(/var/adm/inetd.sec)
if yes check if you have following entries.

dtspc allow
spc allow
mserve allow
