[Sunhelp] dtlogin and it's error messages.

[Anthony Barnes]

Folks,

In my attempts to determine why an RDI notebook running Solaris 2.5 is
refusing to bring up CDE 1.02 I have generated a logfile from dtlogin using
the -debug option.  I have included in a short excerpt from the logfile.

Can anyone shed any light on what the 'Hung in open, aborting' line really
telling me?
