Broadcast will stop if you do any of the following steps:

* put the workstations in a vlan
* change the start parameter in /etc/rc.config.d/xfs to 1 and restart workstation

Re: disabling broad cast form HPUX workstations

Hello!
You can limit access to a login screen on the workstations by modifying Xaccess file. Copy Xaccess from /usr/dt/config to /etc/dt/config. After modifying /etc/dt/config/Xaccess, tell the login server to reread Xaccess by typing:
#/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -reset
You can comment out * wildcard to disable a workstation appears in XDMCP-broadcast for all hosts or insert host names which will be allowed to see the workstation in Xmanager.
"Intel inside" is not a label, it's a warning.

Use passive mode of xmanager to suit your requirement. IT will not display about machines which are online in the network.
Easy to suggest when don't know about the problem!

Re: disabling broad cast form HPUX workstations

Hello!
If you disable access in Xaccess file on a workstation, this workstation should disappear from clients' Xmanager list. By default any client can see it in Xmanager.
