If you've got a black screen with just the lizard cursor present, it means the sunray session has started, but an xsession hasn't, leaving the sunray in limbo. We get this problem occasionally after a user has succesfully logged in via dtlogin - dtlogin termintates, but the Xsun process doesn't start for some reason (or starts and then crashes - not sure exactly). In any case, we're left with with a GNOD. We fix it by finding the hardware ethernet address (or part of it?) of the sunray, and then using /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utuser -Lc to search for that string in the list of active sunray sessions. Once you've got the token_id of the sunray session for that particular hardware ethernet address, use /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utuser -k -tokenid to kill/restart the offending sunray session. You can get the hardware ethernet address of the sunray by pressing the three top right buttons (adjacent to the power button) at the same time. We've built up a small h/ware addr <-> physical location map to help. If you've got users already logged in, killing the parent dtlogin process will kill *everyone's* sessions (I think) - however, doing a /etc/init.d/utsvc stop/start doesn't: the users sunray sessions will be killed and restarted, but the xsessions won't be. The end result is that while everyone's login session will disappear, they will come back after a minute or two, in the same state they were originally :) Sun Ray Enterprise 1.1 is definitly nicer than 1.0 (it has load balancing between multiple instances of the sunray software!) but if you're running Solaris 8, beware - Sun doesn't officially support either version of the sunray software on Solaris 8, and there are a few out-of-the-box issues, such as the /dev/null ownership problem. Well, that's my 2c for the day :) Cheers, ________________________________________________________________________ Giulio Harding giulio@cs.adelaide.edu.au Systems Administrator Phone: +618 8303 6182 Department of Computer Science Voicemail: +618 8394 0643 University of Adelaide, South Australia "In the beginning, the Universe was created.
