I tried starting up Xess and it gave me a lot of errors like this: 

Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfLeft
Warning: ... found while parsing '~s ~c <Key>osfLeft:IncrementUpOrLeft(1)'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfRight
Warning: ... found while parsing '~s ~c <Key>osfRight:IncrementDownOrRight(1)'

The backspace key, cursor keys, escape key did not work.  

There is no XKeysymDB file in 
/afs/dev.mit.edu/system/sun4m_54/srvd.80/usr/openwin/lib/X11

I am not sure if there should be or not. 

The file is on my local machine in /usr/opeinwin/lib/X11 
-rw-rw-r--   1 root     bin         3906 Jun 24  1994 XKeysymDB

After setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/openwin/lib/X11/XKeysymDB, Xess started
with no problems and the keys worked fine.  xcal also worked fine
after doing this.
