Hi Steve,
So you are running kiosk? What's your current policy? Any chance you
are running regular sessions for non-card and kiosk for card?
The output of utsession -p would help me tell you exactly what is
happening here. I'd expect quite a few of these to be have a Unix ID of
"???" and in a state of "DI".
Around the third patch of 4.1, we implemented a feature to help load
balancing in non-card kiosk sessions. What used to happen that is a
cold restart was done, all those session would go to first server up.
This resulted in really poor load balancing.
There are a many factors that go into Sun Ray load balancing algorithm,
one of which is sessions, which of course require an Xserver. The
enhancement to assist non-card kiosk scenarios was to keep greeter
sessions around for a certain amount of time, even if the actual user
session was redirected somewhere else. This helps load balance the
DTU's across the host group much better than was possible before in the
even that NSCM was not being used (NSCM load balances just like smart
card sessions, however, NSCM doesn't really fit with Kiosk mode).
The amount of time these greeter sessions will hang around before
getting reaped is 900 seconds (15 minutes)
You can customize this by copying /etc/opt/SUNWut/reaper.conf.template
to /etc/opt/SUNWut/reaper.conf and changing the line that read
REAPER_TIMEOUT=900 to what makes you comfortable.

We have a lot (32) of "/opt/SUNWut/lib/Xnewt :13 -nobanner -auth
/var/dt/A:13-WXaWfc -br +bs -terminate" processes running as root that
are started by dtlogin. At first I thought was because we are running in
kiosk mode and we have 25 kiosk users but there more then 25 Xnewt run
as root. Does anybody know why there are so many Xnewt process running
and what determines this number ? I did kill them but they restart as
expected . We are running Sunrary Server 5.2 on Solaris 10.
Thanks
Steve
