Hello,

I have done this the following way:

. on the linux machine start the x-server
with this command:

/usr/bin/X11/X -query

where ipaddress is the address for the
machine you want to get a CDE login from.

You will then probalby experience a problem with the fonts that CDE require. To fix this
do the following:
1. Log in on the HP-UX machine.

2. Edit the configuration file of the font server:
# cd /etc/X11/fs
# vi config
add the directory /usr/dt/config/xfonts/C to the "catalogue"
line (comma seperated list)

3. Copy /usr/dt/config/Xsetup to /etc/dt/config (if it doesn't already exist

4. Edit /etc/dt/config/Xsetup and add the following line at the end of
the file:
$XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/:7000
Example: $XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/192.15.32.5:7000

5. Edit /etc/rc.config.d/xfs and set RUN_X_FONT_SERVER to 1.

6. Restart the font server
# /sbin/init.d/xfs stop
# /sbin/init.d/xfs start

7. Check with the following command that xfs is running:

# ps -ef | grep xfs

8. Log in again on the PC. Check with the command xset -q that
the fontpath now includes a reference to the fonserver. You shuold
find this in the font-path:

tcp/:7000

where ip-adresse is the address to the server you specified in step 4.

Olav
