I even looked through the SMF settings but I missed that property.
Why wasn't it just disabled in the default Xaccess file, with comments on why (not)/how to reenable it? That seems to be the place people familiar with DtLogin would look first. I know I went through the same questions with GDM on OpenSolaris, but there I found comments and the 'Enable=False' line right there in the file. It was straight forward and easy to just add Enable=true to the /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf. Hiding this in SMF seems very obscure, out of the way. Not user friendly. It might be OK if it was something new, and had never had a way to do it in the past. but.... -Kyle
