Hi Managers,
I asked:

Thanks to
Thomas Leitner <tom_at_radar.tu-graz.ac.at>
who solved the problem:
There was a bug in CDE login which prevents users to log-in who's
usernames were exactly 8 characters long. If this is the case, you'd
need to install a newer patch kit to get rid of it.
Thanks also to
"Sheila Hollenbaugh" <shollen_at_cs.wright.edu>

Knut.Hellebo_at_nho.hydro.com
for their responses.
I forgot to mention that I'm using Digital UNIX V4.0E with PK 2
on the machines I tested.
Thanks again
Gerhard
