Displaying on a local host

[Jonathan Caplette_1]

Hi guys,

I've a new system with HP-UX 11i installed... I've installed a spaceball mouse, and with the driver comes a manager to map the button, when I logon localy on the system as 'root' the daemon runs and the manager icons appears, but when I logon as another user than root, the daemon is running, but the icons of the manager doesn't start, to start it I just have to do a 'xhost +' and then the icon appears... Do you know how can I arrange that when I login as a normal user I should have to do a xhost +???

Thanks!
Jonathan

Try adding the command into the .dtprofile file in the users home directory.

2 ways : add xhost + in the users .profile.

ensure the user has a $HOME/.Xdefaults file with :

dtterm*loginShell: True

if not create it log in and out of cde for changes to take effect.

or
try creating a /etc/X0.hosts file... add the local hostname here

restart X ......

Thanks Alex,

The Xdefaults files that's what was missing to my config...!
