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.
