    Hu Rui,
    
    What version of Digital UNIX are you using?  I will check with the CDE group
    about the error message that you are receiving.

    Hu Rui,
    
    According to the CDE manual "Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and
    System Administrator's Guide", each time the application manager is
    started, it creates a directory named
    
    /var/dt/appconfig/appmanager/login-hostname-display
    
    So if you are logging in as root on hostname lola on display 0, it will
    create a directory named root-lola-0.  It appears that CDE does not like
    the hostname lola.fi.  On my system, the directory names in the appmanager
    directory do not include the fully qualified hostname, but just use the
    alias.  What shows up on your system when you issue the hostname
    command?  Is it "lola" or "lola.fi"?  Do you have a "lola" alias set up in 
    the /etc/hosts file?
    
    I will check with the CDE group to find out why CDE complains about the
    directory name.

    Subj:   CDE application manager startup problem
    
    Hu Rui,
    
    You requested help for a problem with starting the CDE application
    manager.  You mentioned that the application manager was generating
    an invalid folder name error after you set up the network on your
    system.  Attached are two suggestions from the CDE group on possible
    ways to fix this problem.  Please let me know if this helps you out.

    ================================================================================
    Note 638.1         invalid folder name on starting appmanager            
    1 of 1
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
            1) Make sure that /etc/hosts contains the fully qualified node
            name as it's primary entry (ie, lola.fi is the system name,
            lola is an alias).
    
            2) Doing an 'rm -rf' in /var/dt/appmanager will allow everything
            to be recreated cleanly, that may help as well.

    I solved the problem. It is the CDE confusing me. When I use the old Unix
    command and edit the file it works.
    It is very good to have CDE this graphic interface, but the error message
    and help are not very informative. The old ways seems more clear and logic.
    I think I must made a wrong choice some where, so I did not have a default
    router. So I edited the file than it works.
    I have made another installation everything is fine!
    
    Thank you very much.
