I just downloaded the latest version of SRSS 3.1.1. The latest
timestamp in this download set is the Release Notes, dated August 9,
2006. These notes indicate that RHEL 4AS U3 is now supported in this
distribution of SRSS. Great!
However, I have just installed it, and I am less than pleased with the
results. While the SunRays connect, they all "hang" on the connected
hourglass window (they have an IP address, contacted the
authentication managers). That is, no X display appears. GDM does not
seem to spawn any Xnewt processes. *On occasion* a single Xnewt
process wil be displayed on *one* of the SunRays. At this point, one
can login. But as soon as the user logs out, the SunRay "hangs" on the
hourglass window as noted above. The hourglass looks like this:
<-- 8 -->
(where 8 represents an hourglass)
I had a similar problem with srss-3.1.1 (Sunray Software 4 EA) and a
clean install of Fedora Core 5. Everything seemed to be working except
for getting GDM started on the DTU. However, my DTUs were hung at 26D
instead of the hourglass.
26D represents, in newer firmware, the same thing as the hourglass
(I can't recall if it was with 2 or 3 dashes) in older firmware,
sometimes accompanied by the "green newt" lizard cursor in really
old firmware. We still refer to this sometimes as GNC (Green
Newt Cursor) condition. It usually means that the Sun Ray has all of the
network information, and has contacted utauthd on the server and is
waiting for the X server to render something to it. On Linux most
typically this occurs when gdm is misconfigured and can't start
an X server/greeter using gdmdynamic, or if you have removed
the SRSS RPM for gdm and are using the standard distro RPM
(our changes are back into the main CVS root, but have not yet
been picked up by all distros).
Let us know if the solution below works for you.

I would get a single login window on my local
console, but no activity anywhere else.
My problem: FC5 set up /etc/inittab to respawn GDM in nodaemon mode.
My solution: configure inittab to start GDM once (in daemon mode):
# Run xdm in runlevel 5
# original FC5 config
#x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
# for SRSS-3.1.1 - just start GDM once to respawn on its own.
x:5:once:/usr/sbin/gdm
Hope this helps.
Dave
