dtlogin conundrum -- a followup

requires being logged in. (!!!) logging in is what I am trying to do. I
did insert xhost + localhost into /etc/profile, but it made no difference.
I also checked permissions on /dev/console, and they look appropriate.
/dev/console is not commented out in /etc/default/login. Still working on
this -- thinking about loading the latest recommended bundle if I can
convince others it is worth it (patches are a tough sell here).
Solaris 6 on an Ultra 2 105181-16 (a little dated, I know):
This system is a server for a number of xterms running CDE, and there are no
problems with the remote connections. However, when I try to locally login
onto the console using dtlogin (as root or myself), the screen goes white,
then dark with the hourglass, then right back to the dtlogin. Errors in
/var/dt/Xerrors:
AUDIT: Tue Mar 26 19:32:39 2002: 29633 Xsun: client 2 rejected from local
host
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Error: Can't open display: :0
I am able to login via command line successfully. I was certain that I had
seen this problem discussed several times, but I cannot find a solution in
the archives or on SunSolve that tracks with my situation. The only
modification I have made in the config files was months ago: a minor
addition to Xstartup to display a warning banner. The Ultra 2 was behaving
like this way before I added the warning banner; in the past it has been
considered only a minor annoyance that we could not use the cde login on the
console, but I now have need to do testing for X changes on the local host.
Any similar experiences out there and (hopefully) solutions?
As an added attraction:
I have been tasked to make the warning banner appear on the dtlogin window
OR _before_ that window. Any success out there with similar endeavors?
