Hello everybody.
My trouble is CDE error. When i connect to my server by xmanager program, after i type Username/pass to login, the system notice me by the following Warnning.

"1. Choose OK to return to the login screen.
2. Select Failsafe session from the login screen's option menu and login
3. Check to see that the destop is properly installed, the host name is correct and
that the network is properly configured.
For additional information see the CDE User's guide"

Hi Tamvnit,

This is a name resolution problem.
Try running below command and resolve the error messages.

# dr_dt

what does /etc/hosts have in it?

you need to make sure that nslookup returns your IP address (the same one in the /etc/hosts), and make sure that your hostname isn't on a line with 127.0.0.1

The command : nslookup return my IP address and it isn't on a line with 127.0.0.1, it is 192.168.40.15 as i set before.But the problem still occur, What can i do ?
Should i re-install CDE to solve ? Or have to re-install OS :(.

Thanks for your help,

After using : dr_dt command, i recived the report with :
0 ERROR message and 3 warning
As far as i've known, i have to solve this warning to start CDE correctly.
So what can i do to solve the following warning ?
[QUOTE from console screen]]
INFO: Checking inetd configuration...

WARNING: /var/adm/inetd.sec does not exist. It needs to be on the system in order for HP CDE to run properly. There may have been a problem at installation. You can either reinstall HP CDE or get a copy of the file from another compatible system.

WARNING: Unable to verify the contents of the /var/adm/inetd.sec file, either because it does not exist, or does not have read permission.

INFO: Checking / validity

WARNING: The / directory is not properly configured. The current configuration is:
permissions = drwxr-xr-x
owner = root
group = root
For HP CDE to function correctly, it should be a directory with the following configuration:
permissions = dr-xr-xr-x
owner = root
group = sys
Although the permissions of your home directory may be different from the above, please check that you are able to write to your own directory.
