Thanks for your suggestions. The problems are just what you predicted. After I restored the correct permissions on half dozen files (dt related), everything is running without any problem.
Thank you again for the help. I do have another question (sunray related). We have six sunray appliances in one of our computer labs. Since the default screen saver of CDE is 'blank screen', the users will pass those sunray terminals, thought they were out of order, and login to the PC/Mac next to them. My question is: how to change the default screen saver from 'blank screen' to something enticing, or interesting?
