Hi,
sorry for this, user error...

I did put a dtlogin_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf having the
dtlogin copied to /usr/local/etc/rcd This did not work.

Just having a /usr/local/dt/bin/dtlogin in /etc/rc.local as
it is outlined in the link below, does work.

Still, having an issue with dtspc upon startup, but CDE works fine

/rmd
