I am trying to set up two diskless 2500's to operate off a disked 2500 under sr10.2, Xwindows-own-root, for a particular application for one of my users. On the disked system, the following startup.1280bw and startup_login.1280bw work just fine for both root and users. On the diskless nodes, these files (in the appropriate sys/node_data.xxxxx directories) permit root to log in just fine but hang for other users. I think the problem must be related to file protections (though I've even tried setting everything in sight to 777!) or to the definition of the display environment. The message about starting uwm is displayed, and I can command "env" in the command window and find that DISPLAY is :0 as expected. I do not get the beep from uwm that indicates that it has started up. If I log in as root, DISPLAY is set as ":0.0". I've now spent two days trying to figure this out. Can anyone suggest the obvious, trivial thing I've overlooked? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # STARTUP, /SYS/DM, default system startup command file for 1280x1024 monochrome, 11/30/87 # # Default is black characters on a white (or green) background.
