Can't change password in sam

[Energen Unix Admin]

vxfsd is running, but itsn't that part of the Veritas file system. (I also ran ps -ef | grep xfs on a working HP-UX server and only got vxfsd also.) Anyway, the server is rebooted every weekend, so it has been restarted since the problem started.

HI

Has reflexions changed on the PCs, is it from an apps server? has it been upgraded/ patched?

Vxfsd has nothing to do with the font server (xfs). Man xfs for details.

I would do this:
cd /etc/rc.config.d and edit xfs. RUN_X_FONT_SERVER should be set to 1.

/sbin/init.d/xfs start

I have even re-installed Reflections X on one workstation, but it didn't help. I can use Reflections X to connect to other HP-UX servers and change passwords in sam, but just not this one.

And none of our HP-UX servers have graphics monitors and none are running font servers. I thought a font server was supposed to be running on the machine that is actually displaying the graphics (like within the Reflections X software or XFree86 on a Linux workstation.)

Thanks for the help.

I have to say, my thoughts on this tend towards the font theory as I have seen similar problems.

You might try changing the fonts within Reflections.

I once got openview displaying properly on some Reflections PC's after days of scratching my head by deleteing the "Dec" font in Reflections.

One of the option under Reflection X settings is "Try font server on client host". If the font server were not running on this host but on others this would explain why your Reflection works with some HP-UX boxes and not this one.
