Hi All,

regards
Navin

Look to see if the following line is commented out in /etc/inittab
welcome:2:wait:/usr/lib/assist/welcome.launch

Found at Wisc.edu
Also see the CDE FAQ

You can change the default console with the command

Code:
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d             # will result in cmdline login or
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e             # will result in graphical login

or, using SMIT:

smitty dtconfig

and follow the hints on the screen.

Hope this helps
