Have you changed the root password on the machine?

Try:
chkey -p
keylogout
keylogin

That might fix it - I had this problem too.

Let me know if it doesn't.

 The same thing happened to me. I just installed CDE again and it worked fine!

Have you installed NIS+ root master on the other server and mount
directory from that root NIS+ server??

Thanks...

1. Running X remotely -->> "cannot set display ...:0"

When i log into my universities solaris box and try run an Xapp that i
have sittin on there, i get "cannot set display for my.doman:0"

If i try run xhost + my.domain:0
i get the same error.

Que 1: Can i run X over telnet? ( i know i'd be better off using ssh, i
will once i can do it on telnet - if i can :-)

Que 2: Can i run xhost? Or does it need to be done by the sysadmin at
uni? i.e does he have to be the one to give me permission to connect to
X?

Thanks

Martin
