Well,

Sometimes I got an error after finishing on  Solaris 10 box installation. After make some configuration then suddenly I can’t access my Solaris XDMCP remote session on my laptop.. Usually, I use XManager Enterprise to get Solaris GUI remote session XDMCP. here the step-by-step to troubleshoot if you got the same problem:

{Make sure that svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login is enabled and online.

root@solaris10 # svcs cde-login
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         Mar_02   svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default

root@solaris10 #netservices limited

restarting syslogd
restarting sendmail
dtlogin needs to be restarted. Restart now? [Y] y
restarting dtlogin
{Check dtlogin process:

root@solaris10 # ps -ef | grep dtlogin

root 29384     1   0   Mar 02 ?           0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon -udpPort 0   [should be TCP, not UDP]

{Modify the x11-server service:

—–>Show properties:
#svcprop svc:/application/x11/x11-server

——>Turn on tcp listen:
#svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server setprop options/tcp_listen=true

{Modify the dtlogin service:

—–>Show properties:
#svcprop svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default
#svccfg -s svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login setprop dtlogin/args=\”\”

—–>Then restart the X server:
#svcadm refresh svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default;
#svcprop -p dtlogin svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default

root@solaris10 #netservices open

restarting syslogd
restarting sendmail

root@solaris10# svcadm restart cde-login
root@solaris10# ps -ef |grep dtlogin
root 27722     1   0 15:08:37 ?           0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon
root 27724 26297   0 15:08:43 pts/3       0:00 grep dtlogin
