Dear knowledgable ones,

  Our observing workstation was recently rebuilt after a crash. The new
replacement (U60) now intermittantly auto logs out the user from the CDE
session. We cannot find the reason why, but in /var/dt/Xerrors I see
the follwoing output, with the prime suspect in bold.

The file /etc/rc2.d/S44power was renamed to /etc/rc2.d/s44power so that
it never starts as we don't want power management to run at all.

uname -a : SunOS chamaeleon 5.8 Generic_117350-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

/etc/release :

Has anyone seen this afore, and could perhaps shed some light?

I shall post a summary when I have some news.

Best regards,
