Thanks to all who answered very quickly,

The solution:

        All 3.2x releases use the same CDE ADK installation kit.
        However 3.2d release incorporated a patch to close a hole
        in C2 security, but it also had the side effect of breaking
        CDE login for non-root users. You'll need to get a hold of
        a dtlogin patch from your customer service rep.

(is fixed now....)


Another problem was solved by this advise:

Upgrading normally gives you two user licenses, the unlimited one you
had,
plus a two user "starter" license. Use lmf to get rid of the two user
one.

kind regards
