Hello all

I have some questions, Im new on Solaris system, On a sun 450 I`ve installed Solaris 8, for practical purposes.

I create my account, but when I try to use my account, I dont see my desktop, (graphical interfase) only appears a little like icon on the up letf corner, when I use root acount I donīt have any problem.

Someone can help me, what I need to do.?

My other question is I have this message when I connect from another machine to sun 450. using CRT

I loggin in but this is the message

couldnīt set locate correctly

And the last question is which files I need to set or change in my configuration or in root like .profile, hosts and things like that.

Thanks everbody in advance.
