Problems logging into linux workstation
Hello everyone:
I got this msg. when I tried to logging.
"the files that contain your preference setings are currently in use" (I'm the only one). "You can continue to use the current session, but this might cause temporary problems with the preference settings in the other session".
I press enter (to continue) and I got this msg. "Could not resolve the address. xml:readwrite:/home/username/.gconf. Can't read from or write to the XML root directory in the address xml:readwrite:/home/username/.gconf"
And the I only have the option to close that window, and brings me to the logging screen..
Thank you for your help.

NAME
msglog - message output collection from system startup or background applications
SYNOPSIS
/dev/msglog
DESCRIPTION
Output from system startup ("rc") scripts is directed to /dev/msglog, which dispatches it appropriately.
ATTRIBUTES

+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |

SEE ALSO

NOTES
In the current version of Solaris, /dev/msglog is an alias for /dev/sysmsg. In future versions of Solaris, writes to /dev/msglog may be
directed into a more general logging mechanism such as syslogd(1M).
syslog(3C) provides a more general logging mechanism than /dev/msglog and should be used in preference to /dev/msglog whenever possible.
