        Hello managers,

        I'm on an Alphastation 255/300Mhz under UNIX V4.0B (all patches).
        One of my users tried to do an .xsession which contains
        exec /usr/dt/bin/dtsession on this station and get each
        time this message :
>The file /var/tmp/sdtdbcache_$DISPLAY is either missing or empty.
>This is most likely due to the file system for /var/tmp
> being full.
> Please use the failsafe session option on the login screen
> to login to the systems and free up approximately 300 disk
> blocks in /var to allow a normal CDE login to succeed.

        1) exec /usr/dt/bin/dtsession works without any problem whith
           many other Alphas boxes.
        2) df gives :
           /dev/rz0a 238268 163044 51396 77% /
           /proc 0 0 0 100% /proc
           usr_domain1#usr 15004192 13112248 1833360 88% /usr
        3) /usr/var/tmp is empty


        PS : He comes from an NCD Xterminal.

        Any idea ?

        TIA

        JEAN
