Very Computer

I have just upgraded from Solaris 2.2 to 2.3.
The upgrade on the server works fine, but I get the
following message when I go into Openwindows and create a
console window on the clients: mknode error. Permission denied.
Also, I think related to this problem is that I cannot get
the File Manager window to come up at all and the calculator
appears but has no  color.

I installed 14 patches to 2.3 on the server, but
because the clients only have part of the OS, I installed
only those patches that effected the /etc and /usr directories
on the LX's.  I have a feeling that I should install more
patches on the clients.  I stalled the following patches on the
LX's:
101317-11 lp jumbo patch
101318-59 jumbo patch for kernel
101631-02 kd and ms fixes
101347-02 fixes for ttcompat
101344-11 jumbo NFS patch security
101345-04 cpio fix

Among the 8 additional patches that I installed on the server are:
101889-01 Openwindows 3.3 filemgr forked executable ff.core has a
security hole.
101362-24 openwindows 3.3 jumbo server patch
Also these patches: 101327-08 101331-05  101615-02 101712-01
101739-04  102034-01  101880-01

Could this be the problem?
Any help would be greatly  appreciated.

The solaris FAQ says:

5.2) Why can't I run filemgr, I get ``mknod: permission denied''?

    This is a symptom of a bug in filemgr in Solaris 2.3
    Either apply patch #101514 or run the following commands
    at system start-up:
             mkdir /tmp/.removable
             chmod a+rwxt /tmp/.removable
