If you are working from the graphic console so do the following:
1. In the server run "xhost +" or "xhost ". The first says everyone has a permission to access your GUI server, and the latter specify a server, so only it can do it.
2. In serverB set the DISPLAY variable to serverA.

Good Luck....

On server a enter:

>>xhost +

telent to serverB and enter:

>>EXPORT DISPLAY=serverA:0.0

From Server A Console:

Telnet to the Server B.
# xhosts +
# export DISPLAY=:0.0
Execute your GUI command.

Abhijeet,

Look at the prompt to see on which server I am runing the command.

Open an appropriate term (dtterm,hpterm etc.,) on the graphical console of serverAAA

serverA$xhost + serverB
serverA$telnet serverB

serverB$export DISPLAY=serverA:0

serverB#hpterm

This should display the hpterm of serverB on serverA's graphic console.

Thx for reply.

I have issue.When I give command
ServerA#/usr/bin/X11/xhost +ServerB

It gives error " Xlib:client is not authorised to connect to server "

Both servers has entry in /etc/hosts file.
On serverA , display is correct ( ServerA:0.0 )

Try this, then serverb:

xhost +localhost

Rgds...Geoff

[Abhijeet_3]

same error for , xhost +localhost.

[Alex Glennie]

try this ...

cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers -> /etc/dt/config/Xservers

vi the /etc Xservers file thus :

* Local local@console /usr/lib/X11/X :0 -ac audit 0


wq!

/sbin/init 2
/sbin/init 3 and try again .....?

[Alex Glennie]

other things/thoughts to check:
is /etc/hosts involved or is name resolution being done by NIS or DNS ?

Are multiple network cards involved on either system at all ?

[Abhijeet_3]

Alex,

On serverA when I copied and edit Xservers file , then /sbin/init 2 , /sbin/init 3 , I am unable to get a CDE screen .

Both the servers are using Built-in -Lan only. Hosts file is used for name service.
