Hi,

check your $DISPLAY varible. It should point to your machine.

The DISPLAY variable needs to be set to the IP of the machine trying to connect. If thats your PC your IP addy from ipconfig

ex

192.168.0.10:0.0

This needs to be set in the user .profile

DISPLAY=192.168.0.10:0.0
export DISPLAY

depending on the O/S ?

ps -ef | grep rpcbind or portmap ... are they running ?

At what stage of the login does it fail ... do you see the cde login and copyright screens ?

run dr_dt and postt output.

does the syslog.log contain any clues ? and are any services failing at boot checked the /etc/rc.log ?

OK if the CDE process (dtlogin) is running on a server but you are attempting to connect to it via a PC,xterminal or other remote connection the problem could be connected to fonts. see http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x66f235067c18d6118ff40090279cd0f9,00.html on how to setup a font server on the hpux 10.20 system and then add the font servers address tcp/:7000 to the head of the PC X emulation s/w's or xterminal's font path.

If this a workstation and CDE is failing to display locally or the above does not resolve :

comment on the h/w involved, how hostname resolution is made etc/hosts, DNS ? post dr_dt output regardless of errors/warnings.

check/var/dt/Xerrors and add set -x in $HOME/.dtprofile, attempt to login then look at $HOME/.dt/startlog and the syslog.log.

Alex,

I am trying to login CDE from server console , not from teminal.

How/where can I insert line
"$XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/IPAddress :7000 1 > /dev/null" in /etc/dt/config/Xsetup file

Alex,

The problem has been resolved.
portmap was not running.
(ps -ef | grep portmap )

After starting portmap (/usr/sbin/portmap), I am able to login through CDE.

But now question is how to start portmap at boottime ?
