CDE + XDMCP

[Peter_17]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find the command which will show me which hosts are available through XMDCP, similar to what's generated with CDE's chooser function.

Any and all help appreciated!

Have a look at the man page for dtlogin

# man dtlogin

The config file is /etc/dt/config/Xaccess

Hi,

Most of the dtlogin configuration files are found in /usr/dt/config. Xaccess used by dtlogin to control access from displays requesting XDMCP service.

This file contains a list of host names which are allowed or denied XDMCP connection access to this machine. When a remote display (typically an X-termimal) requests login service, Dtlogin will consult this file to determine if service should be granted
or denied.

Note that:
/usr/dt/config/Xaccess is a factory-default file and will
be unconditionally overwritten upon subsequent installation.

Before making changes to the file, copy it to the configuration directory, /etc/dt/config. You must also update the accessFile resource in /etc/dt/config/Xconfig.

These information are from man and the Xaccess configuration files.

Hope this helps!
Best Regards
Yogeeraj

If you are looking for some sort of command line that returns information similar to what the chooser can provide, I know of no such tool. In order to implement such a tool, the program would essentially have to have the base functionality of XDM built into it. The usefulness of such a tool would probably limited to some specialized testing.

Hi Peter,

the functionality you ask for is basically built into HP's X-server itself!
From command-line of your console try: X -query 11.22.33.44 # or whatever IP-address you want
or: X -broadcast # local LAN only, of course

HTH,
