Users not able to login through CDE

[ramesh_6]

Experts,

I have a HP-UX 10.20 box. I have lot of users who used to login to that box via telnet and use the server. But with some new application they required X-windows to be on their desktops. We implemented Hummingbird Exeed on their windows desktops thinking that they will get X-windows. But from the user desktop as root i am able to login to CDE and pull the desktop. But when i login as some other user its not able to login. We have never used X in that machine before..Do i need enable some special setting so that all users can login via X-Windows

Below is the error thrown by CDE while login as normal users:
/usr/dt/bin/Xsession[51]: /dev/null: cannot create

Hi

Check /dev/null for
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 3 0x000002 Oct 14 16:20 /dev/null

/dev/null permission problem, you should change its to be 666,
# chmod 666 /dev/null

In addition to the above,
check $HOME/.dt/errorlog and startlog for precise errors.
