I'm trying to figure out a way to get a screen shot of the Solaris login
screen. I can't think of any way to get a screen shot outside the Solaris
desktop. I tried running the welcome process on a remote workstation, but
it ended up locking the terminal. Any suggestions.

HELP!!!

- a digital camera, or
- a PC X-server

If you can, login via a PC X server (such as Exceed) and grab it there.
I've done this before.

The key to this is stopping dtlogin placing a 'grab' ( exclusive lock )
on the X-server.

I can't test this, but you might like to try setting;
dtlogin*grabServer: false

[ see 'man dtlogin' for more info ]

and then trying something like;
xwd -root > dumpfile

I'd be interested to know how you get on....
