Cannot login to CDE remotely

[itreyger]

I a problem when I try to loggin to CDE remotely. I am getting option to login then blue screen copyright stuff and after that it is just sitting on the blue screen. When I tryed before I would get a login screen then blue screen with copyright stuff would just blink and everything disappears. Here is what I had in syslog.log today:

Shalom,

Seems to me that file permissions are not correct on the .dt directories or files for the user. The user needs read-write access on these files.

Might want to explore ssh -X or ssh -Y as an alternative to run gui commands from an already running linux or cde workstation.

example:
ssh -X hostname xclock

This will run xclock on the remote system and display it on the local workstation.

Not sure if you absolutely have to use CDE. But if not I say use CLI over CDE. Good luck!

I still cannot use CDE session remotely - when I try it kicks me out. I can loggin as a different user but not as a root.
