Hello managers,
I have installed the security patch : SSRT0617_TTSESSION to our systems
running Tru64 UNIX V4.0E . This patch corrects a security in tooltalk
session daemon.
Since that time, most of our users ( but not everyones) are unable to
start CDE on those machines.
A window comes with following message. After clicking OK, CDE aborts.
( I precise that there is no network problem and that CDE login was possible
before the patch installation)
> 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

> 3. Check to see that your hostname exists correctly in /etc/hosts if your

> 4. If your network has not yet been configured, make sure that /etc/hosts

The message in $home/.dt/errorlog is :
dtsession: Unable to start message server - exiting.
Do you see an explanation of this behaviour?
Do some site run without problem with the patch installed?
Thanks a lot,
