Hi all,

my environment: ALPHA 433au, DU 4.0F

Correction of my problem: The message "Starting the Common Desktop
Environment" appears a very short time und then - after another short time -
I see the login promp


Corrected original message:

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: The
message "Starting the Common Desktop Environment" appears a very short time
und then - after another short time - I see the login prompt.

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

What is wrong?


regards
Werner Rost
