Hi,

I come late on the thread, but rewinding it I saw you were using
SunRay server software. (from your /etc/hosts SRSS's added 192.168.128.1).
I suppose it is SRSS 3.x stuff and that you are experiencing your troubles
from a SunRay terminal ?

If no, then ignore that mail.

Otherwise, perhaps what follows could help :

You have to know some tuning have to be done to have SRSS 3.x working
properly on TX (SRSS 4, planned for this summer will be the supported
one on TX, SRSS 3.x is not supported yet...).

Here we go...

First, try to check with a directly connected screen/kbd/mouse if you
still have the trouble;

If you are in the "desperatly headless dilemna" we all "enjoy" one day (or more)
then try setting up a second TX host and use remote TX dtlogin to check.
Both of your hosts will have to know each other :

- from their IP in /etc/hosts or name service if any.
- from their IP in /etc/inet/ipnodes
- as cipso in /etc/security/tsol/tnrhdb

Does it work better ? (it should)
If you can't do that (sorry dave), then forget the pod bay doors, and try the 
following
way to avoid deep space loneliness anyway. (reminds me something...)

Let's tune your SRSS configuration by replacing your pam.conf with the attached 
one.
(BEWARE : The pam_tsol_account.so.1 of this pam.conf is setted with the 
allow_unlabeled
option, that means any unlabeled host can connect ADMIN_HIGH by knowing root 
password.
This is for debug purpose only and is *highly unsecure*. Once anything works, 
(or at your convenience)
*remove this allow_unlabeled* keyword. Also, make a diff on it from your 
original so to see what is inside)

Last, change your global zone definition in /etc/security/tsol/tnzonecfg with 
the following one :

global:ADMIN_LOW:1:111/tcp;111/udp;515/tcp;631/tcp;2049/tcp;6000-6020/tcp:6000-6020/tcp;7007/tcp;7010/tcp;7012/tcp

It will add MLP X11 sessions (not enough by default (3 increased to 20 in the 
example)), and declare other SRSS
daemons on MLP.

To make it short, then, reboot.

Did that help ?

HTH,

Bruno.
