Operating Systems HP-UX Can not login to CDE -- only Fail Safe Session permitted Post 302305083 by Dirk_ on Wednesday 8th of April 2009 12:48:54 AM

Hi,
Thanks for the assistance with my issue. You were correct is saying that there was a problem with my host name, and it preventing me from logging into the system. I followed along with what you had suggested. I found out that the problem with the host name may have been due to the fact that it is not registered with my Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Basically what I want to use this machine for is an Internet client/ scripting/learning tool. I have a copy of Internet Explorer 5.0 for UNIX that I plan on installing on this system. Because of this I had plugged the HP-UX machine into the Internet thinking that I could configure DNS properly. My mistake....

I have a router from my ISP then I have a broadband router behind that so that I have a private network, which my HP-UX machine resides in.

Following is what I have done to the system to get it to the point that I can login again:

1. Login to fail safe session
2. Went into SAM
3. Went into Networking and Communications
4. Went into DNS (BIND)
5. Went into resolver
6. Deleted DNS Name Server for my ISP ( my host name was not registered with the ISP )

I am now able to login normally into CDE and ping my localhost, hostname, and default gateway, but of course cannot resolve names on the Internet.

.....

I now need to add a couple of DNS entries for my ISP so that my HP-UX box can resolve names and I am not sure how to do that. Can you provide any suggestions? I have tried a number of things including going back into DNS and adding entries. After I click apply I can ping unix.com and other Internet sites just fine until the next login. I then have to use a failsafe session and delete the DNS entries I just added, otherwise I cannot login again without the original issue arising.

Respectfully,

Dirk

DtWsmDeleteWorkspace(API)												 DtWsmDeleteWorkspace(API)

NAME
DtWsmDeleteWorkspace -- delete a specific workspace SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h> int DtWsmDeleteWorkspace( Widget widget, Atom workspace); DESCRIPTION
The DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and deletes a specific workspace. Applications can use this function to implement an interface to the workspace manager. If the DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is not running. The DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() function requires a widget. A gadget (or unrealized widget) is not acceptable for the widget argu- ment. DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() sends a message to the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), to delete the workspace. If the workspace name is not valid, no action is taken and the workspace manager reports no error. ARGUMENTS
widget a realized widget workspace the name of the workspace (in X atom form) to delete RETURN VALUE
The function returns Success (0) when it succeeds, and non-zero when it fails. Note that these are not the same values _DtWsmDelete- Workspace returns. SEE ALSO
DtWsm(5) "Communicating with the Workspace Manager" section in the CDE Programmer's Guide "Workspace Manager" section in the CDE Programmer's Overview DtWsmDeleteWorkspace(API)
