You do not have to. When a certain runlevel is entered (in your case runlevel 2) all the S-scripts (S for Start) are executed. If another runlevel is entered all the K-scripts (K for Kill) for the current runlevel, then the S-scripts for the runlevel to be entered are executed. The numbers after the K/S just make sure they are executed in a certain order because prior to starting them they are sorted alphabetically.

But this all does not matter, because "dtlogin" is started in the inittab (see below) and you do not need any rc-scripts, at least not in runlevel 2 (see below).

"startx" does NOT start CDE but the native X-server (and the mwm Window Manager) This is what is called "AIXWindows". Post the output of

Code:

lsitab dt_nogb

to verify your really configured dtlogin. It should look like this:

Code:

# lsitab dt_nogb
dt_nogb:2:wait:/etc/rc.dt

Now have a look at what is in "/etc/rc.dt". There should be a line

Code:

/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon

in the script. rbatte1 gave you the correct command already, but it has to be started every time the system starts, this is why it has to be in this script rather than be issued by hand. Nevertheless you could issue it by hand, check if it has the desired effect and report any occurring error messages here.


You need to set X11forwarding not only on the server but also on the client side. Check your local ssh-daemon as well as the /etc/ssh/sshd_config on your target machine.

If you have support you can request such a CD from IBM. Otherwise you cannot install or maintain the system at all because for any update you need the base level fileset as a prerequisite.

I hope this helps.
