OK what exactly are you aiming for ? to start CDE locally on the HP9000 or to run remote CDE logins from a PC Client or xterminal : please detail s/w involved together with H/W.

The last 2 files that are listed as missing are suggesting to me your patch level wrt CDE is not current ... they can be ignored ... the inetd.sec maybe relevant.

If the 9000 is a server without a graphics head/card check dtlogin is running ?

Are you certain the 9000 and any remote pc's or xterminals involved here can resolve each other hostnames and ip addresses ?

Is DNS , routers or firewalls involved at all.

If XDM is not working what results are you seeing then ?

check also in /var/dt/Xerrors ....

awaiting details .....

Just try doing a
#/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
#/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

If still does not work then
check your /var/dt/Xerrors

check for the latest CDE patches

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/patchDocDisplay.do?patchId=PHSS_27427

which should remove the xmbind and suid_exec warning messages.
