start dtlogin

[someone_4]

Hey everyone..
I have been trying to connect to my server that I have glance on. Though the CDE interface using reflextion X. But it wont let me .. I can see other servers and connect but not that one. UGG.. well I found that I dont have dtlogin running on that server.It seems to be the reason why I cant connect. If so how do i start dtlogin?

Hi Richard:

First do a swlist to see if you have the CDE Runtime Environment installed. If not, swinstall it.

Next, there should be a startup script '/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc' ; there should also be an symbolic link in /sbin/rc3.d/S990dtlogin.rc pointing to the entry in /sbin/init.d

Hi Richard:

There should be a startup script in the /sbin/rc?.d/ directory (probably rc3.d) for starting and stopping this.

See also, '/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc'.

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc [stop/start] but if CDE is installed it should be configured to start when you hit run level 3 ..... keep us posted.

Hi Richard,

dtlogin's parent is dtrc, started through the /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc script (linked from /sbin/rc3.d directory).

Doesn't it also depends on
/etc/rc.config.d/desktop file

#more desktop
# CDE Desktop enabled Fri Apr 4 16:10:20 EST 1997
DESKTOP=CDE

Ohh this is good stuff ..
I started /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start.
Then when I tried to login but it would hang on the blue screen. Well to find out there is another process that works with cde.And that would be rpcbind. And here is how I started it.
# ps -ef|grep rpcbind
root 25064 24413 0 11:46:05 pts/tb 0:00 grep rpcbind
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core start
starting NFS CORE networking

starting up the rpcbind
/usr/sbin/rpcbind

Now it works .. and I checked the startup scrits to see why it didnt start this proccess on startup. But I cant find a reason and dont know if or where there is config file with sometype of =1 or =0 .. So as of this point I dont know why it didnt or wouldnt start up at startup.

Hi Richard,
rpcbind must start before inetd. It might had died. check your /etc/rc.log file and you will know wheather it had started at boot time or not.
