Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

Issuing Commands Before Starting the User Session

After the user enters the user name and password and they are authenticated, but before the user session is started, the login server runs the Xstartup script. Xstartup runs with root authority and issues commands needing to be run as root prior to the user session start.

To modify Xstartup, copy Xstartup from /usr/dt/config to /etc/dt/config. The next time the user logs in, the modified Xstartup will be run.
