Operating Systems HP-UX Canīt get a remote desktop login through CDE Post 302730657 by vbe on Tuesday 13th of November 2012 11:20:11 AM

Some admins ( I am one of them...) do not allow root via xdmcp, the reason is:
What is the point of securing a box - Not allowing root connection except console if you can connect via XDMCP?
I suppose there are many ways to succeed in restricting the access, I forgot how I did (years ago...) and became more tolerant when I found out I was one of the very few knowing how to use XDMCP ( disabling CDE on servers I would not XDMCP was far easier...)
That said, It can be painkilling to find out why CDE refuses its services...( I spent days some times...) so my advise would be to see if you have it and if yes:
use /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt

At the end of the output from this script a summary will appear:
Code:
         Dr_dt finished with:

         [num] ERROR messages
         [num] WARNING messages

The ERROR and WARNING messages must be resolved before CDE will run properly.

What do you have in:
Code:
$HOME/.dt/errorlog
$HOME/.dt/startlog

The second is interesting for you should try to compare the content with one of a user which has CDE working...

Do you have a /etc/dt/config/Xaccess file?
