CDE not starting

Hi all,

my environment: ALPHA 433au, DU 4.0F

I created a new user (as copy of an existing user) and "published" him via
NIS. Then I copied the configuration files of the existing user to the new
users directory, changed the owner etc.

"su - <new user>" works fine. But logging on at the console fails: I miss
the message "Starting the Common Desktop Environment". After a short time I
see the login prompt again.

Note: Other users are able to logon at this console.

What is wrong?


regards
Werner Rost
