NAME

dtconfig − desktop configuration utility

SYNOPSIS

dtconfig [ −d| −e| −kill| −reset| −p| −inetd| −inetd.ow ]

DESCRIPTION

Desktop configuration utility.  Integrates CDE with the operating system of the underlying platform.  System root login privilege is required to use dtconfig. 

OPTIONS

−d Disables desktop auto-start feature.  At end of boot cycle, platform’s native text based login mechanism will be used. 

−e Enable’s desktop auto-start feature.  Desktop login window will display at end of platform’s boot cycle. 

−kill Kill desktop (window based) login process and any user sessions associated with it.  Return control to system’s native text based console. 

−reset
Tell desktop (window based) login process to reread its configuration files to incorporate any changes.

−p Printer actions for any printer known to platform will be created if such print actions do not already exist in the platform’s actions database.  This option is executed automatically at boot time if desktop auto-start has been enabled. 

−inetd
Adds /usr/dt/bin daemons to the /etc/inetd.conf file.  Specific CDE background daemon setup includes rpc.ttdbserverd (ToolTalk), rpc.cmsd (Calendar Manager), and dtspcd (subprocess control).  This -inetd option is called automatically by Solaris CDE package installs.  This -inetd option is also useful for CDE daemon setup outside of normal Solaris CDE install, including system setup where /usr/dt has simply been mounted from some remote fileserver exporting the /usr/dt directory.

−inetd.ow
Switches the ToolTalk and Calendar Manager daemons (rpc.ttdbserverd & rpc.cmsd) start lines in /etc/inetd.conf back to the older /usr/openwin/bin area.  This option is called automatically by Solaris CDE package remove scripts when needed.  It is also useful outside of normal Solaris package remove operations when /usr/dt is about to be manually removed our unmounted.
