try:

$ dtconfig -d

( Disables X based login interface, it imerges too text based login)
option -e enables back the login interface to Graphical mode. Give a try. Post back if that doesnt help.

$dtconfig -d

Message 1 " CDE configuration utility"
echo " "
Message 2 " $prg_name -d (disable auto-start)" $prg_name
Message 3 " $prg_name -e (enable auto-start)" $prg_name
Message 4 " $prg_name -kill (kill dtlogin)" $prg_name
Message 5 " $prg_name -reset (reset dtlogin)" $prg_name
Message 6 " $prg_name -p (printer action update)" $prg_name
echo " "



I took a look at the dtconfig file before executing the command that you gave me and it tells me to do the same thing that you posed but when i do so it says

# $dtconfig -d
sh: dtconfig: Parameter not set.

I don't useany x but i think you need to specify what to disable i'm assuming it's cde or whatever the executable so try and specify the command you don't want autostarted :

dtconfig -d "xwindows_program_name"

Re: $dtconfig -d

It looks like you tried to execute "$dtconfig -d ". What killerserv meant was to execute the dtconfig -d command. The "$" in his example was the shell prompt.

I would think you do have to be root to do this, but yeah, just try "dtconfig -d".

An "init 3" wouldn't be enough?

Couldn't he modify the /etc/inittab file, so that the default state would be init 3?

You should see in your inittab file a line like:

init:5:initdefault:

Modify the 5 to be 3:

init:3:initdefault:

I think this should work for you...
