Connecting to HP CDE via an X Client

[jacks0n]

Hi Peoples,

I've got a quick question about connecting to CDE via an X Client.
What is the command I should be executing to start CDE?

Cheers,
Attila.

Hi,

If the CDE filesets are loaded you should be able to start it

# /sbin/rc3.d/S990dtlogin.rc start

You can check to see if the filesets are loaded with
# swlist -l fileset |grep -i cde

One other thing, if you need to install the CDE filesets they can be found on the "CoreOS CD"

try /sbin/init.d/dtlogin start

To get a client login banner say from ReflectionX or equivalent client, issue an XDMCP Broadcast Query to host or lan...
XDMCP will return will hosts (those running the dtlogin process with Xaccess file configured correctly)

Later,
Bill

Hello Attila,

first: you are talking about an "X-Terminal", right?
an X-Client is a program, like "xclock"...

second: is it an "old" one?
without support for "XDMCP"?
Then you will have to add that X-Terminal's
IP-Address to that config file
"/etc/dt/config/Xservers"
and send a signal HUP to the "dtlogin" process
with the lowest PID. The line would look like:
XTermName:0 Foreign foreign

where "XTermName" is the hostname or IP-address
of your X-Terminal...

HTH,
