x windows

hi,

If X-Window is running on the HP-UX, how we can check if xhost+ is enable?
If yes, what is the configuration file for that in order for us to modify to xhost- as part of GSD requirement?

A quick perusal of the man page would seem to indicate that "xhost", with no options would provide status info and the /etc/X*.hosts files control configuration.

Hi,

If you have third party software to throw output of xhosts like reflection or xhosts plus on your windows or NT PC (client system)

(1) you can configure xhosts command on your windows PC (client system)

DISPLAY=@a:0; export DISPLAY; xterm & and

(2) DISPLAY environment variable should be set to the IP address of the client system.

(3) run xclock command from the server that will throw a windows on your client.

The above will confirm that xhosts+ is enabled.

Thanks,
Srikanth

Hi,

You can verify with the command : xhost enter
With xhost hostname you authorize the hostname machine ... or use /etc/X0.hosts

Regards.
