This issue was fixed, thank goodness.
For the benefit of archives, Google and anyone who's interested, here's
what was happening -
When a newly created user logs into Solaris for the first time they are
presented with a grey box asking them to choose the windowing
environment they want. In our case, with a freshly installed Solaris 10
01/05, the options were CDE and JDS.
The x-terminals we were using didn't like this box at all and simply
ended the whole connection to the Solaris server.
Some users were logging in correctly because we had logged them in on
the server console earlier and their settings were for 'last user session'.
Logging in as a failsafe session didn't work for the new users who had
not been logged in before.
By setting the session manually to JDS, the new users were able to log in.

Hi all
This is nearly a Sun Ray question - people on the list may have some
experience of this kind of thing. The work being done is also part of a
potential large Sun Ray deal where we may co-exist with other thin clients.
I've asked the question internally as well, but thought that this list
may be able to help too!
I have Solaris 10 x86 installed, several users configured and everything
working fine when logging in via the server console.
When we log in from some nobrand thin clients, using xmdcp to connect, I
appear to be unable to login more than 3 or 4 users. When the extra
users login from Solaris dtlogin, they are sent straight back to the
thin client's default screen. You then have to select the X Windows
connection, after which you are able to reconnect to dtlogin.
The logged in users can work fine.
All usrs are logging in using JDS as opposed to CDE. I wasn't able to
try and login with CDE, but will try tomorrow if possible.
I don't have very good web access where I am, but Google searches are
working ok - no clear answer appears to be there.
I'm running out of ideas. Although I've never worked with 'real'
x-terminals before, I've seen many large Sun Ray installations and have
often had xsessions running from PCs, Linux and Sun boxes on lots of
occasions with no trouble.
Can anyone suggest anything?
The errors in /var/dt/Xerrors were along these lines (I wasn't able to
write things down in full or mail the file anywhere).
X Error of failed request: 86
Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath)
Serial number of failed request: 10
Current serial number in output stream: 12
X Error of failed request: 86
Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath)
Serial number of failed request: 10
Current serial number in output stream: 12
I'm pretty certain opcode 45 is mentioned.
There was also an error along the lines of 'BadAlloc' and 'insufficient
resources'.
Apologies this is not more detailed.
Regards
Chris
