heads-up: dtlogin smf service (cde-login) errors

Subject: heads-up: dtlogin smf service (cde-login) errors

It's been discovered in the last couple days that from snv_42 on the
combination of the integration of the dtlogin conversion to smf and SBD
in Nevada has exasperated CDE bug
4743510 dtlogin should persist if requestPort==0 and no local X servers are
	defined
as reported in
6445129 cde-login restarts repeatedly at ~30sec intervals on headless systems

If you are on a headless machine, you may wish to disable dtlogin:

# svcadm disable cde-login

or restore it to listen for XDMCP requests:

# svccfg -s cde-login setprop dtlogin/args = \"\"
# svcadm refresh cde-login
# svcadm restart cde-login

If you are building zones, you may wish to disable cde-login in the
zones.

Apologies in advance if these techniques do not work for you.
I don't have an environment to fully test either and am not a 
member of the CDE team.  I was made aware of the problem from
various mailing lists and did some research as I'd partially
contributed to the dtlogin conversion to smf.

It seemed worth a broad email to ward off others having to
rediscover the problems especially over break.

Have a happy 4th and break,
Gary..
