I am trying to start Solaris 8 CDE (with dtlogin) on a remote Xserver.

I am connected to the server with ssh tunnelling an X display. My DISPLAY
environment is DISPLAY=localhost:10.0

If I execute /usr/openwin/bin/xclock I see it displayed on my Xserver
(CygwinX under Windows XP)

I have copied /usr/dt/config/Xserver to /etc/dt/config/Xservers and change
the only config line with

   :10 Local local_uid@none root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :10 -nobanner

instead of

   :0 Local local_uid@none root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner

I then try to start dtlogin with this command

/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon -server /etc/dt/config/Xservers

but I am return to my prompt and no process stay.

nothing in syslogs...

any idea how can I do that ?
