Very Computer

ok at first i could not login but then i edited the \etc\default\login
file and i could get access.

i've sisce rebooted and the file is still as edited but now when ever i
try to connect to either port 22 or 23 i get connection refused i can
log on ok locally.

I can ping the server ok

also how can i start the CDE from the command line ?

thanks.

"Connection refused" means that the service (ssh and telnet above)
isn't running.  If this is Solaris 10, then you might need to enable
those services.  Use:

        svcadm enable ssh

and/or:

        svcadm enable telnet

(Though, really, using telnet these days is probably not the best of
ideas.)

Or use "svcs -x" to figure out what's broken on the system.
