Hi,
Sorry to email direct, but I'm in a bit of a panic.
Installed the packages from
http://www.rlac.de/pages/thefrog/kde.html using pkgadd. Now, I am
completely locked out of the machine, except at run level S.
The machine boots normally until it tries to start the login manager.
At that point, it simply shows a CDE style message dialog box, which
says "Login incorrect ; Please try again", with an OK button. Using the
button makes no difference, it may be going back to retry, but it comes
back to the failure message instantly. I cannot access the machine via
telnet, ssh, rlogin or any other remote method. They just give a
connection refused message.
I'm guessing that the kdestartup package has changed something to cause
this. Can I reverse the process? My sun is in a corporate intranet and
before long the IT admins are going to do something drastic when they
find out.
Machine is a Blade 100, Solaris 8, running CDE and gnome2 before this.
Thanks,
Paul
