Hi Thanks for the tips... The keyring manager did popup automatically and prompted me for a password.
I found the issue, I think. Problem 1: I had a typo in the custom.conf file (It was fro root access, I'm not sure this had anything to do with it) Problem 2: I don't think I gave gdm enough time to enter "maintenance" state. I quickly executed: "svcadm disable gdm xvnc-inetd" "svcadm enable gdm xvnc-inetd" This left gdm: STATE STIME FMRI online* 15:40:58 svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default If I would have waited, I would have seen: STATE STIME FMRI maintenance 15:40:58 svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default Then I should have done: "svcadm refresh gdm" "svcadm clear gdm" "svcadm enable gdm xvnc-inetd" I'm not sure why gdm went into the maintenance state, but now it works... thanks -g -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
