Hp-UX 11.23 - CDE not starting

Hi.

I installed HP UX few weeks ago. It had some problems with DNS resolving, but I have solved it.
Before the last shutdown all was fine.

Now CDE is not starting anymore (no desktop logon - only console logon).
Also mail deamon starts for about 5 minutes, so I removed it from rc2.d.
CDE is still not starting.

I don't understand why CDE is not starting, nothing changed. The configuration of computer is the same...:confused:

Do you have any idea why CDE is not starting and how to make it work again? In other words, I have no GUI at all.
What services should I put in rc2.d and rc3.d to start the CDE.

P.S. Also, I removed (after CDE was allready not functional) NIS/NIS+ and cim servers and clients.

I found the problem. It is my fault. :o
Network cable was out.

Anyway, services that I removed form rc*.d made my computer work much faster.

Hi,
Telnet or SSH your server and check your /etc/hosts file.How many entries therein.Just put the hostname entries of your server and try to start GUI.
For GUI login try Reflection X.It is a software running over the network.You can download this software from the following site:-
Terminal Emulation, Legacy Integration, SSH, Systems, Security, and PC Lifecycle Management

Cygwin's XWin also does the trick.

Thanks.

HP-UX is very sensetive to problems with networking... :wink:
