Hello everybody,

on an Alpha system, all users can login just fine, using CDE.
Only one user get the following message:

                   Action Required

   The DT messaging system could not be started.
   To correct the problem:
   1. Choose [OK] to return to the login screen
   2. Select Failsafe Session from the login screen's option
      menu and log in.
   3. Check to see that your hostname exists correctly in /etc/hosts if
your
      network has already been configured.
   4. If your network has not yet been configured; make sure that
/etc/hosts
      has the following entry in it:
      127.0.0.1 localhost

The same user can login on other systems, and the user's home dirs are
shared
across the systems using DMS + NFS.

I've checked /etc/hosts and it seems O.K.:

127.0.0.1 localhost
140.105.7.148 ag3ts0.ts.infn.it ag3ts0
140.105.7.152 ag3ts2.ts.infn.it ag3ts2
140.105.6.153 axts03.ts.infn.it axts03 # BIND server
140.105.48.16 uts.univ.trieste.it uts # BIND server

(The Alpha is 140.105.7.152)

I've checked the permissions on this file and it seems O.K. too:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 2101 Aug 14 11:31 /etc/hosts

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
