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>
scoates_at_resourcepartner.com
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
