Hi admins,

I found CDE installed in the server.

swlist -l product|grep CDE
CDE B.11.23 HP-UX CDE User Interface
PHSS_31110 1.0 CDE Base Patch for Itanium - based system
PHSS_35884 1.0 CDE Base Patch
PHSS_35885 1.0 CDE Applications Patch

How to disable the same..any files to edit..

The term X11 is related this only?

Hi,

use
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d
to disable the CDE-Login and

/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -kill
to terminate the login session currently active.

Hi Peter,

Thanx for the response..

Actually i edited /etc/rc.config.d/xfs
and stopped /sbin/init.d/xfs

These are enough or need to run any other commands.

Hi,

your de-configuration just deals with the fontserver (xfs).
The command sequence
dtconfig -d
dtconfig -kill
will terminate the dtlogin process (your grep filtered out of the ps-command) AND configure the system in such a way, that no further startup of this process is done.
