Yes, I am able to cat a big file & swapinfo looks good...400Mb 0% used. I looked at the link you listed and xfs is not running. However, it requires that I edit some files and I am not able to vi at all.

I've checked some of my other 10.20 servers that I'm able to login to w/ no problems, and they are not running xfs either. On Reflections, the login cmd listed is: (/usr/bin/X11/hpterm -fn 6x13 -sb -ls -display %IP#% -name %T% &) This is the standard install for hpterm.

Plenty of space.

Try this:

1/ Open an hpterm window from a "working" system.
2/ Run "xhost +".
3/ telnet/rlogin to the failing system.
4/ export DISPLAY=your.pc.ip.addr:0
5/ hpterm

Does this work? What errors (if any) are reported?

Re: X windows error?

John Ferrara — Fri, 21 Dec 2001 15:27:40 GMT

When I run xhost + I get the following msg:access control disabled, clients can connect from any host. However, I am able to telnet the server and login via Reflections X from a nother server OK. I still can't vi any file no matter how small.

Hi John,

Do you have any error messages in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log or /etc/rc.log ?

Does your /var file system okay? Do you have a lot files in /var/preserve ?

Normally if the system crashes or vi aborts due to an internal error or unexpected signal, vi attempts to preserve the buffer (in /var/preserve) if any unwritten changes were made.

what will happen if you try retrieving any file through -r option?

some thoughts ...

pre 10.20 not using CDE by any chance ? now you are : remote clients often have problems with CDE'd dt-interface fonts ..try this :

1 - The font server needs to be configured to include the CDE
fonts in its catalog

EDIT: /etc/X11/fs/config

Append ",/usr/dt/config/xfonts/C" to the end of the
"catalogue = ..." line

EDIT: /etc/rc.config.d/xfs

Set the following variable: "RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1"

EXECUTE: /sbin/init.d/xfs start

If the font-server is already running, kill it and
restart it.

2 - Force CDE to add the font-server to the X-Server font-path
by editing the Xsetup file. (NOTE: This steps REQUIRES
the IP address of the CDE session server. You can get
this information by running: nslookup `hostname`.)

COPY: /usr/dt/config/Xsetup to /etc/dt/config/Xsetup
EDIT: /etc/dt/config/Xsetup

Add the following line to /etc/dt/config/Xsetup replacing
"IPADDRESS" with the IP address of the server as returned
from "nslookup `hostname`":

$XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/IPADDRESS:7000 1>/dev/null

Then tell ReflectionX clients to use it :

rx -> settings-> fonts -> Font_Path : add tcp/IPADDRESS:7000 to it's head eg :

tcp/hpbrc104:7000 hp 75dpi 100dpi misc f330

save and restart RX try to login now ?

Hi John,

Take a look in this document. This may help you in resolving the syslog errors:

For your RX problem try replacing
%IP#%
with the actual IP address value and see if that works.
For your vi problem double check your patch, see if you got the latest vi patch for 10.20 ie PHCO_22228

John Ferrara — Fri, 21 Dec 2001 16:41:13 GMT

Alex,

I followed your instructions. It took my a little long b/c I had to ftp the files off, edit them, & ftp them back. However, it did not work.

SW,

The link you sent did not display.

SK,

I've done the IP part but, I don't know if I have that patch b/c swlist core dumps. However, I do have 6/2001 cum. patch installed.

Have you checked the RX log files ?

RX-> Tools -> log file & trace files/option ?

Sounds networky to me if using DNS maybe edit nsswitch.conf to use files first on the hpux system and ensure pc's ip_address is in the /etc/hosts file ?

dr_dt output maybe worth looking at to .... tell me also if ps -ef | grep dtlogin returns anything ..you should see a parent dtlogin process ?
