Access Unix server on client site
I need to access Solaris servers on client site. I can access client network using VPN. I have Cent OS installed on a vmware on my system & I have also installed Cygwin on my system. How can I launch server GUI on my Cent OS? I have tried a few steps given below:
On Cent OS:
1) Launched terminal window & tried using the following command:
[user@xyz]$ xterm
[user@xyz]$ X :1 -query ip
This launches a black x-windows.
On windows using Cygwin:
1) Launched cygwin & ran the following commands in cygwin console:
$ startx (to launch the xwindows)
$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
$ setenv +localhost ip
2) in the x-windows ran the following commands:
$ ssh -l username ip/hostname
$ setenv DISPLAY localip:0.0
Here I do not know what command should I give to launch the server GUI.
Thank you for helping me out. I appreciate it.
Regards,
P.D.

Re: Access Unix server on client site
For black window try starting X server in the same depth that is used on the Solaris server.
Cygwin also has startx command so you can use that with '-query'.
You can also try Xming, which is simpler to use and has some GUI controls to choose startup options.

Goran

Re: Access Unix server on client site
using cygwin I do it usually following way:
- start cygwin shell console
- from the cygwin console start X win: startx
- from opened X win terminal allow any connection: xhost +
- start separate session to destination server, e.g. via putty
- set DISPLAY variable in this session pointing back to my local machine
- start X win application in this session e.g. xclock
emha.

Re: Access Unix server on client site
The CDE start-up command is normally /usr/dt/bin/dtsession.
Try this procedure:
1.) Launch cygwin & startx
2.) in the x-windows, ssh -X -l username ip/hostname
(don't setenv DISPLAY, ssh -X should set it automatically if X11 forwarding has been enabled at the remote sshd configuration. The value of DISPLAY in this case may look a little strange: this is because the remote sshd sets up an encryption proxy to transport the X11 protocol securely over the network. If you change DISPLAY you'll lose the security.)
3.) /usr/dt/bin/dtsession

When someone says this, it probably means
that your question was not clear enough.
