User login

Ron Bromwell — Fri, 18 Oct 2002 14:04:13 GMT

I have a user that ENVs are not getting set when the user does a CDE login. However, if I do a su - user then the ENVs get set. Can anyone tell me where to look to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Ron

The reason su works, is that the .profile is sourced.

The reason CDE doesn't work is that the .profile is not being sourced. You need to set DTSOURCEPROFILE environment variable in the user's $HOME/.dtprofile file to TRUE to have the .profile sourced.

Hi Ron,

Look at the .dtprofile in homedir of user.

tail -1 .dtprofile
DTSOURCEPROFILE=true

If there is a # before this line remove it.

Regards,

Robert-Jan.

Thanks Cheryl. That did the trick!!! Any idea on how to set a scroll bar to the hpterm window.

Check /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults for HPterm*scrollBar set to true. There should also be a line that defines HPterm*saveLines set to 1000.

There should be entries for Xterm. If they are there, just copy both lines and set them up for HPterm.

And here's the documentation for scrollbar.

http://www.docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1171-90079/B1171-90079_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1171-90079/00/01/148-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1171-90079/00/01/148-toc.html&searchterms=Hpterm%7cScrollBar&queryid=20021018-092837

One note, is that the doc site doesn't mention the 1000 setting, so it looks like it is not required.

Hi Cheryl,
apps-default is a directory under /usr/bin/X11. There is a XTerm file in there. Am I to copy this file to a file named HPterm?

Ron,
I am sorry. It is a directory and yes, create a file for HPterm just like the one for Xterm.

Can't get that to work. Any suggestions?

Cheryl,
It works now. I typed the syntax in wrong. Thanks for the help.

One last question. How do I set this for just certain users vs. everyone?
