Help! Can't query X server

Lev Assinovsky — Mon, 25 Aug 2003 13:19:42 GMT

Hello folks!
The command Xwin -query doesn't
work. Also I can't do CDE login from Solaris
into HPUX X server.
The same actions with Solaris host work fine.
Does anybody knows what might be the reason?

Sincerely,
Lev

Lev,

Have you issued the xhost command on your HPUX server? "xhost + name_of_solaris_server"

The HPUX machine will need to be running dtlogin.

dtlogin may be configured to deny XDMCP access.

Check if the system has a /etc/dt/config/Xaccess
or /usr/dt/config/Xaccess file. The dtlogin process looks for an accessFile resource, which is usually set to "Xaccess" in /usr/dt/config/Xconfig. It then reads from that access file to decide which direct and indirect XDMCP connections to allow. There are comments in the original /usr/dt/config/Xaccess file which describe how to modify the list. You can also read about it in "man dtlogin".
