Re: How to start CDE for non root user on Solaris 10
CDE will not start unless your user has a home directory so if your user is to have a local home directory make it as follows:
# mkdir /export/home/<username>
# chown <username> /export/home/<username>
Then ensure that the user's passwd entry points to /export/home/<username> for their home directory.
Then test it by doing:
# su - <username>
$ pwd
Ensure the directory response is now the user's home directory.
CDE is also particular about being able to resolve the machine's hostname so make sure /etc/hosts is a link to /etc/inet/hosts, that /etc/inet/hosts is chmodded to 644 and contains a line that gives the hostname and its IP address. Confirm that the hostname in /etc/nodename matches the hostname in /etc/inet/hosts and if you are running Solaris 10 ensure that /etc/inet/ipnodes is a link to /etc/inet/hosts (why did Sun introduce yet another "hosts" file called ipnodes?)
HTH.

NAME
sysman_intro - Introduction of SysMan applications
DESCRIPTION
SysMan is a suite of applications for managing Tru64 UNIX systems. The SysMan applications provide a simple, easy to use, graphical user
interface (GUI) for common system management tasks including installation and configuration.
When you follow the installation instructions in the Installation Guide, the installation GUI, Installation Setup, is displayed automati-
cally.
To help you prepare the system for general use, the Tru64 UNIX: System Setup checklist is displayed when you log in as root for the first
time after performing an installation.
SysMan applications and help are available from the Application Manager (tool drawer) icon on the CDE front panel, or from the SysMan
Applications panel above the SysMan Station icon on the root CDE window.
For additional information, see the Welcome to SysMan help volume by performing the following procedure: Click on the Application Manager
icon (the file drawer) on the CDE front panel. Double click on the System_Admin application group icon. Double click on the Welcome to
SysMan icon.
If you are not running CDE, but have installed it, you can open the Welcome to Sysman help volume by entering the following sequence of
commands at the command line: /bin/sh PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin export PATH DTHELPSEARCHPATH=/usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/%H export DTHELPSEARCH-
PATH DTUSERSESSION=${USER}-`uname -n`-0 export DTUSERSESSION dthelpgen -dir $HOME/.dt/help/$DTUSERSESSION dthelpview -helpVolume browser
