That's the old Solaris 9 way. You don't need that part. Just switch
over to gdm instead of dtlogin and see if you can log in manually with
the new window manager. Once that's working, you can change the
configuration to make it automatic.

Just to be clear, I don't have a tube hooked up to this box, so I'm
sshd in to set this all up (if it makes a difference). I was able to
run gdmconfig over an sshd session and setup the autologin user, and
auto-login feature. Do I need XDMCP enabled also? Aferwards, I was
able to choose 'Gnome Session' from another solaris 10 machine on the
network and get a remote login as the autologin user (can start a full
JDS session this way as well). After resetting the box and letting gdm
startup normally, gdm-binary is the only gdm process running, and the
errors below are in /var/adm/messages. Any help is welcome.

You need a frame buffer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Otherwise,
there's no way to set up automatic login with a GUI when the machine
boots. That's because the whole process has to be initiated from
the newly-booted machine. (A Sun Ray might be coerced into working,
but not in its normal configuration.)
