CDE login failed

[j773303]

While CDE into screen safe mode, that's locked the CDE.
While I use root to login CDE, then it's failed. Shoud I configure any files then the root can login the CDE?

[T G Manikandan]

check the CDE Troubleshooting Guide.
This can resolve all problems

[twang]

do you try:
echo console > /etc/securetty

[twang]

sorry for above update, i mean you should keep the file(/etc/securetty) blank or empty.

Hi,

Please check the file /etc/securetty
if there is an entry of root in this file then it wont allow you to login other then console.

The OS version is 10.20.
While I done the chmod 777 to all files in the all file system. It is still can telnet to the server, but the CDE login will failed. Does anyone know what's happend?

[V.Tamilvanan]

Hi,
Is CDE failing for root user only or other users also?

If it is for all the users.you may require to check the name resolution of the server.
Some times if your uname and hostname varies CDE will fail.

Sometimes it happens due to the corrupted ".dt" directory ( under the user's home directory ).

mv .dt .dt.old

and try logging in

I try the above suggestions. the CDE is still not login properly. Any other solutions?
or the only way is to re-install the HP-UX?

[Alex Glennie]

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

try again ?

result ?

[j773303]

But the machine had already reboot again.

check the /etc/hosts file it should be readable by every one. ie. permission should be atleast 644.

/var/spool/sockets folder and all it's content should have permisssion set to 777.
