problem with xdmcp broadcasting

I'm using a product callled Exceed on Demand. It uses a server to manage the Xwindows for other servers. I've got several HP-UX servers that are already working - they're all 11.11. I have three servers that are 11.31 and they won't show up on the "Chooser" window.

I've installed CDE for 11.31 on the servers. If I run /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start, I get the following

" ./dtlogin.rc start

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 1
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X1-lock
and start again.

cbpux31 # mwm: Another window manager is running on screen 0
mwm: Unable to manage any screens on display."

This also happens during reboot. Any ideas??

Thanks

Re: problem with xdmcp broadcasting

I don't have 11.31 but the "mwm" mention makes me think that there is a different window manager (mwm instead of dt) that has been configured on these servers. Check for any start up scripts in /sbin/init.d.

Run "ps -ef |grep X11" and see if you recognize anything.
