I've built and installed CDE 2.4.0 using the spec files, etc from;

I did make some minor changes to the spec file but it's largely unchanged.
I'm able to run a CDE session from gdm but I have the following issues.
1. The lock screen can't be unlocked. It just remains after entering
the user password to unlock.
This one may be caused by missing dev packages. In 2.4.0, support for
PAM an utempter was added - this makes it possible to run dtterm and
dtsession w/o needing SUID root. Make sure that the libutempter-devel
and pam-devel packages are installed.
1. The Application Manager has a "generic-display-0" folder in the
root, rather than the actual applications. If I open that folder,
the applications are shown.
That one, I've not yet seen.
I've attached some pics for reference.
Here's some info which may/may not help.

Seems like an issue determining your hostname.

I have tried running with both of these files setuid but it doesn't
make any difference.
Try making sure those packages I mentioned above are present. dtsession
is what handles the password unlock on behalf of dtscreen.
Also, FYI, I still have selinux active. I haven't tried running with
selinux disabled.
I have never run with that enabled on centos 8 (well, now I am running
Rocky linux in a VM), so I don't know what effect that would have.
What have I broken in my build/install?
I think as far as the unlocking at least, you just need the utempter
package. Places you can look are ~/.dt/errorlog, ~/.dt/startlog, and
perhaps other files in ~/.dt/
