I'm tring to change the default login settings on each lab computer so that each machine will remotely login to the server. The default setting right now is setup to login to the current lab machine. Each machine is running Solaris 8 v 5.8.

What do you mean by remotely log in? Are you talking about automounting file systems or logging in such as using telnet?

What we have are 10 Sun Workstation Machines running Solaris 8. When they boot up they go to the Solaris log in prompt where you enter your user name and password and log into the machine (bringing up CDE or whatever else you might have installed as the desktop). At the login you can also change where you are logging into, (ie instead of logging into the local machine you can set it to log into a server lets say). What we want is for those Workstation machines to default to the server at log in, and remove the option to log in locally. Basically they will just be terminals. We just need some help doing so.
