Harold-
Thanks for the info.
First, some new info -- I accidentally left a "hung" session open overnight
and returned to find the CDE login window! It turns out that it *does* work,
but takes roughly 15 - 20minutes before the actual login window appears
on the "non-working" systems. Additionally, some apps don't appear to work
properly even after the login succeeds. However, if I use the same login on the
working system, all apps work as expected. The error messages lead me to
believe it is a font issue of some kind....which appears to be supported by
looking at a successful login vs. a hung one...the line it's hung up on appears
to do with fonts.
On Solaris 8, we are connecting through the server process dtlogin.
When running that in debug mode, I find that the difference between the
"hanging" machines
and the working one is:
-- snip --
(chi70:0) setLang() - Current Lang = C
(chi70:0) setLang() - Desired Lang = C
(chi70:0) setLang() - Locale has NOT changed
(chi70:0) LANG=C
(chi70:0) Source(): /usr/dt/config/Xsetup
This is where it "hangs"...when I connect with the working system, it is
identical (except for IP address)
but continues after the "Source()" line as follows:
--snip--
(chi54:0) ApplyFontPathMods() for chi54.chicago.jgsullivan.com:0
(chi54:0) Foreign display
(chi54:0) setLang ()
(chi54:0) setLang() - Current Lang = C
(chi54:0) setLang() - Desired Lang = C
(chi54:0) setLang() - Locale has NOT changed
(chi54:0) LANG=C
(chi54:0) Greeter environment:
.
.
.
--snip--
Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
