Solaris 10/08 SPARC - cant start X-window session

czezz · 11-18-2008, 03:15 AM

I have installed the newest Solaris 10 10/08 SPARC.
During installation I have chosen not to start all remote services.

Now I have a problem to access system via Xmanager. Please note that I have enables access via SSH with root account.

What I tried is:

Code:

/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
/etc/init.d/dtlogin start

No result.

FMRI seems to be OK:

Code:

bash-3.00# svcs -l application/graphical-login/cde-login
fmri         svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default
name         CDE login
enabled      true
state        online
next_state   none
state_time   Mon Nov 17 09:55:52 2008
logfile      /var/svc/log/application-graphical-login-cde-login:default.log
restarter    svc:/system/svc/restarter:default
contract_id  69
dependency   require_all/error svc:/milestone/multi-user:default (online)
dependency   require_all/none svc:/milestone/sysconfig (online)
dependency   require_all/none svc:/application/font/fc-cache (online)

Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong ?

Have you looked into log files?

Are you tunnelling X11 through ssh or are you trying to directly access the X11 server remotely ?

The latter is disabled being a security weakness.

To start remote X sessions with CDE I have executed:

Code:

# svccfg -s cde-login setprop dtlogin/args = \"\"
# svcadm refresh cde-login
# svcadm restart cde-login

This allows to connect via XDMCP client like Xmanager.

To be honest, Im not 100% sure how this connection is established.
Im afraid it is by insecure way.

This is what I have found uncommented in my /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

Code:

# X11 tunneling options
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes

Here is netstat -a when remote CDE session is established (via Xmanager):
