Controlling the Sourcing of Startup Files

In the Trusted Solaris CDE window system, as in the standard CDE window system, accounts get an editable $HOME/.dtprofile file which controls whether the .login or .profile files are read by the desktop at login. See also the man pages for login(1) and profile(4). See "The Sourcing of Startup Files for the Profile Shell User" for the one exception to this behavior.
