Tools HP-UX, dtlogin, X browser
All:

Have an HP-UX server running init level 3, dtlogin shows up in ps -ef, but when you try to connect to this server via X browser (on Win XP), the browser comes up with just a gray screen w/mouse pointer.

All the other HP-UX boxes on the same subnet come up with a pretty dtlogin screen.

Any assistance, much appreciated.

CDE will only start at run-level 3 if /etc/rc.config.d/desktop file contains:
Code:
DESKTOP=CDE

Look at your /etc/rc.log and search for 'dtlogin'.
You should see Sxxxdtlogin.rc start almost at the end.
If there are any errors, then you will need to fix them.

All the best

DESKTOP=CDE, check.
Sxxxdtlogin.rc start, check.

Still a gray screen.

I had a case where dtlogin was corrupted:
copied from another box and all worked again:
Code:
phar # ll dtlog*
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root       bin         389280 Mar 29  2007 dtlogin
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root       bin         389280 Mar 29  2007 dtlogin.ezra
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root       bin         389512 Sep 27  2001 dtlogin.phar
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root       bin         389512 Sep 27  2001 dtlogin.ori?

I kept a trace of the manip:
Code:
331 Password required for vbe.

Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

phar # ll dtlo*
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys         389280 Mar 29 15:19 dtlogin
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root       bin         389512 Sep 27  2001 dtlogin.phar
phar # chown root:bin dtlogin
phar # chmod 555 dtlogin
phar # cp -p dtlogin dtlogin.ezra
phar # /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc  stop 
phar # ps -ef|grep dtlo
    root 11523  3322  2 15:21:26 pts/1     0:00 grep dtlo
phar # /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc  start

#And now it works......

I forgot to mention:
There is a tool in /usr/contrib/bin/X11 called dr_dt to help diagnose CDE issues, give it a try...
