: The login server will then start automatically when you

reboot.
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -kill

: To disable login server startup when the system is booted

: To stop the login server by killing the process ID

/etc/init.d/dtlogin

: To start the login server from a command

line

ID by default ( for changing

To modify Xconfig, copy Xconfig from /usr/dt/config to /etc/dt/config. After

modifying /etc/dt/config/Xconfig,
tell the login server to reread Xconfig by typing: /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig

-reset

3. Displaying a Login Screen on a Local Display.

Upon startup, the login server checks the Xservers file to determine if an X
server needs to be started and to determine if and how login screens should be displayed
on local or network displays.
To modify Xservers, copy Xservers from /usr/dt/config to
/etc/dt/config. After modifying /etc/dt/config/Xservers, tell the login server to
reread Xservers by typing:
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -reset

cat Xservers :
/usr/X11/bin/Xserver :0

:0 Local local_uid@console root

-nobanner
#( :0 display_name display_class display_type

Disable command line login

Running the Login Server without a Local Display : Hash the line Xservers.

Controlling Access to the Login Server : By default, any host on your network
that has access to your login server host can request a login screen be displayed. You can
limit access to the login server
modfying the
Xaccess file

Checking for Errors : /var/dt/Xerrors ( Dtlogin.errorLogFile resource in
the Xconfig )

7. Starting a Desktop Session By default, the login server starts the user session by
running the Xsession script. Xsession runs with the user's authority and issues
commands needed to start the desktop.
After the User's Session Ends: After the user exits the desktop or failsafe session, the

login server runs the Xreset script
