Hi,
maybe somebody out there can help me out here. I've install solaris 8 several times
before but this is the only time I encounter
this problem. The problem is that when i log
into CDE, and click open the "console", the
window just hangs and I can't type in anything. However, when I click on the "terminal" emulator, I encounter NO problems.

Also, when I try to login with a user account
from the command line, I just get 'stuck'
and have to do a stop-a. However when I log
in as root, I face no-such problem.

The way I created these accounts, was the
usual useradd -c "" -d -s login-id
and then chown -R .

Can somebody tell me what's wrong?
