    Hello,

    System: HP-UX 11.00

    We put all our home-directories on a central file server. The "homes" are
    mounted by the bsd-amd automounter upon user login.
    If network connection to the "home" server breaks, CDE does not start up
    properly. The only thing you can get after login is a text-console. But no
    proper CDE Window Environment (no buttons etc.,)

    We do not mind about the missing /home directory because it is not
    important in this case. But the users should be able to log in properly
    and be able to start their applications (which do not reside in the
    home-directory - neither do any configuration files).

    How can I make CDE start properly although the user doesn´ t have a /home
    directory?

    (By the way its the same with "kde". Most other windowmanagers don´t seem
    to have a problem with missing homes)

    Thank you for your help

    Andreas Fischer
