CDE on AIX and vnc,nothing works
On other unix systems,simply set "dtsession" on .xstartup file of vnc
start the cde session.
On aix i have this problem when i start the session,appear only an error message

Code:
The DT messaging system could not be started
    to correct the problem
    1. Choose ok to return to the login screen
    2. Select Failsave session from the login screen's option menu and login.
    3. Check to see that the hostname is correct in:
    /etc/hosts
    Other hostname problems can be corrected by using the command:
    smit mktcpip
    4. For additional info, see the DT User's Guide.

I make some checks
hostname report correct hostname OK
hostname -s report correct hostname short OK
dig myhostname report correctly,also dig -x ip report OK
I have set also order local,bind in /etc/netsvc.conf
I forgot,i'm on vnc,and i have set xstartup like this

Code:
xsetroot -solid grey
    vncconfig -iconic &
    #xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
    
    exec /usr/dt/bin/dtsession &

As suggested here
i also did

Code:
    cp /usr/dt/appconfig/types/C/* ~/.dt/types/

But nothing

Any suggestion?
Thanks

vncpasswd

vncpasswd(1)						     Virtual Network Computing						      vncpasswd(1)

NAME

       vncpasswd - change the VNC password

SYNOPSIS

       vncpasswd [passwd-file]
       vncpasswd -f

DESCRIPTION

       vncpasswd  allows you to set the password used to access VNC desktops.  Its default behavior is to prompt for a VNC password and then store
       an obfuscated version of this password to passwd-file (or to $HOME/.vnc/passwd if no password file is  specified.)   The  vncserver  script
       runs  vncpasswd	the  first  time you start a VNC desktop, and it invokes Xvnc with the appropriate -rfbauth option.  vncviewer can also be
       given a password file to use via the -passwd option.

       The password must be at least six characters long (unless the -f command-line option is used-- see below), and only the first eight charac-
       ters  are significant.  Note that the stored password is not encrypted securely - anyone who has access to this file can trivially find out
       the plain-text password, so vncpasswd always sets appropriate permissions (read and write only by the owner.)  However,	when  accessing  a
       VNC desktop, a challenge-response mechanism is used over the wire making it hard for anyone to crack the password simply by snooping on the
       network.

OPTIONS

       -f     Filter mode.  Read a plain-text password from stdin and write an encrypted version to stdout.  Note that in filter  mode,  short	or
	      even empty passwords will be silently accepted.

FILES

       $HOME/.vnc/passwd
	      Default location of the VNC password file.
