SPARCstation 5; PROBLEM: Can't Unlock the CDE

It seems that locking the CDE while logged in as root (or equivalent) prevents unlocking the CDE. I have had to use Stop A to restart the system (which is not a good idea). One work-around is to login as a user and then "su" to a super-user shell. When the CDE is locked it will be locked by the user login and not the "su'ed" super-user session.
