The problem is that the network wasn't available. We're using Hummingbird to access a Citrix server which gives me access via IE to a Avocent application which gives me console access to the server. It works well, especially for my Solaris systems but mainly because they aren't running a window system. So having a remote access desktop wouldn't have working in this situation. It's not that I wanted a remotely accessible desktop, but I needed to access a term so I could find out what the problem was with the server.

I don't know what window manager was being used. I've used Gnome before and none of the icons looked like it or like the KDE. It basically looked liked the regular Red Hat desktop.

How do you activate this accessibility feature? Is it on automatically or do I need to actually activate something?

Ultimately the problem was the boneheads who built the server didn't use the same IP address and didn't put any of the accounts back. The two accounts they did put back weren't the same UID's as on the old server (old=500, new=501). The first call at 9pm was because the mainframe guys didn't know what the IP address was, the second call at 2:15am was because the permissions were incorrect (can't overwrite the old file). Monday we'll be having a discussion with the customer.

Thanks again for the pointers.
