Thanks also to Bernhard Sadlowski, Charles Gagnon, and David Lee, who

replied. No thanks to the nameless individual who decided to flame me

without understanding my question.

Subject: Solaris 7 nologin problem

Under solaris 7, when I create /etc/nologin, I can no longer log in on the

desktop. The usual CDE login screen is replaced with a "logins disabled"

dialog box and I don't even have the opportunity to log in as root. I have

to keep remote root logins enabled and telnet to the box as root in order to

remove /etc/nologin. It seems like this should be a widely experienced

problem, but I have only found one other person who has reported it and he

has been unable to find the answer. Is there a dtlogin patch or some

configuration file that I can change to make dtlogin behave the way it

should, or am I stuck with using the workaround?
