that's good news cos it's the Xserver !

I'd suggest you check hostname resolution and I cannot figure out if you are attempting remote login via CDE and Reflections X or a local console login from the unix server/workstation.

also ps -ef | grep dtlogin ?

you also get the "gray screen" if the software on the desktop end of the connection uses "passive mode" for the connection.
