Hi Gurus,
We have changed our subnet mask and default gateway and since then
(coincidently or not) one of our Alpha boxes (DEC 3000-300, DU 4.0b,
C2) is not allowing console logins by CDE. Only dxsession works
without any problem. The message on the console says:
"The DT message system could not be started. To correct the problem
check to see that your hostname exists correctly in the /etc/hosts
if your network has already been configured".
Well, the hostname is correctly spelled in /etc/hosts and the network
is up. Strangely enough above message appears only to plain users;
CDE works OK for root logins. Other Alpha boxes have DU 3.2 and
no CDE so that I cannot compare another machine behaviour.
Any pointers are welcome.
TIA,
