NO GUI

Help! I am running HPUX 10.20 on a 9000 server and I have modified something in one of the configuration files (which I cannot remember; maybe DTTERM) and now the system will only allow a root login in "safemode". I have no GUI. What can I do. I am on a 9000 server running 10.20. I can also be reached at 301-963-4777. Thank you so much!

make sure the loopback fs lofs is set properly, can you ping 127.0.0.1? check /etc/hosts to be sure the line
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
is there

The CDE diagnostic tool may help ? I personally doubt it : run dr_dt and check it out.

May also be worth checking the Xserver logs file : /var/dt/Xerrors and also add set -x in a users .dtprofile, attempt to login as per normally and check out the $HOME/.dt/startlog for some clues .... failing that try and remember what you did ;)

if you have your history set up, you can run
history -100 to show the last 100 commands you typed in.
Lookk for the vi's!
