Hi,
I have a problem with the CDE environment using Exceed in that
users can't login. (can't open display ??? )
I am using an Alphaserver 8200 running v4.0d
The login/password is accepted and then the
dtsession fails.
Now, I'm not too familier with CDE but I am aware that the .Xauthority
needs
to have the "OMIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1" ....
I have read through the archives and have seen this problem before but any
solutions has not solved my problem. (although this could be a lack of
knowledge
about the problem )
The Exceed configuration is not the solution as I can access other Digital
Unix boxes
from Exceed
There doesn't seem to be a lot of differences between the problem box and
the others
except that the .Xauthority is overwritten everytime I try to login into
the "problem" box
The dtsession is not using the .dtprofile and is probably using the default
sys.dtprofile
I have tried to use xauth to merge the .Xauthority from a "correct" box
but
it is over written once I try an unsuccessful login
Telnet , ftp etc all work into the box
I have included both the errorlog and the startlog
Any help would be appreciated
