We have a system where one user is able to log in to the console but when
another use tries, he gets:
A window that says "The DT messaging system could not be started" and
asks the user to check to be sure that the hostname (or localhost) was in
the /etc/hosts file.
The session then comes up, but when the user tries to exit CDE, he gets a
message that the toolkit connection could not be established and the session
hangs there until it is killed off manually.
Localhost and the hostname are there in /etc/hosts. There is no
resolv.conf and no defined gateway (machines are all on same subnet).
I went through the network setup and on step (8), the /etc/networks,
which I usually skip over, I noticed that there is an entry for network
address 127. Thinking that this was wrong, I tried changing it to
127.0.0.1, then I tried deleting it, then I tried putting it back in the way
it was before and it won't let me...it won't accept the "127" entry but
insists on a x.x.x.x format. I don't know that this matters, though,
because nothing I did to this has fixed the problem.
Has anyone seen this? I've seen it once before, but it was a problem
with the network configuration and the fix that worked then doesn't work
now.
thanks
