Hi,

Edit the ".dtprofile" file in the user home directory and uncomment the last line:
# DTSOURCEPROFILE=true

Then login again through CDE and see if works.

Regards,
Zigor

When you login with CLI then /etc/profile and .profile file in $HOME directory will be executed using /etc/PATH file.

You have to .dtlogin file to accept .profile file execution.

Or else set with $HOME/.dtprofile file for environment variable settings.

hth.

You are using an Xwindows client (dtterm most likely) and the 3 clients (xterm, dtterm and hpterm) never run /etc/profile or .profile in the user's HOME directory. This is normal behavior but as you've seen, very undesirable. So, you need to insure that the machine where you are running CDE has a .Xdefaults file with .loginShell set to true. With CDE running, start a terminal window and create the .Xdefaults file like this:

echo "*loginShell:true" >> $HOME/.Xdefaults

Now, close the window and start another terminal window. Now you will see the 'normal Unix login that you see with a CLI interface. This includes running the /etc/profile as well as $HOME/.profile files.
