Solaris Common Desktop Environment: User's Transition Guide

Q. I modified my $HOME/.login or $HOME/.profile file to set login time environment settings in the OpenWindows environment. What file should I modify for the CDE login screen?

A. Modify your $HOME/.dtprofile file to set login time environment settings for the CDE login screen. You can instead modify your $HOME/.login file or $HOME/.profile file if you first set DTSOURCEPROFILE=true in your $HOME/.dtprofile file.
