ez way to temporarily restrict dtremote access

[jmb]

This forum has been great, with a ton of good ideas, as I've worked with AIX, but am new to HP-UX.

I'm looking for an equivalent of the /etc/nologin, which works fine for standard conenctions, that will work for dtremote. I just want to be able to "switch off" XWindows access (and any others, if a quick solution), then switch it back on. I might end up with a script to do it all, but wondering what files/settings need to get hit. fyi, this is UX 11.0, on a smaller system. There is not currently an /etc/dt/config/Xsetup file.

Thanks one and all

You can use the following command to stop Xsessions, if any user is currently using it will kill them.

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop

when you want to enable run

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

If you want to disable permanently you edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/desktop
change DESKTOP=CDE to DESKTOP=

Hope this helps

Hi,

Try this out

# cp /usr/dt/config/Xaccess /etc/dt/config/.


You can chnage the parameters according to your need in Xaccess file.

# /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop
# /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

Hi
Add this to /etc/profile

name=$(logname)
if [ -r /etc/nologin ]
then
if [ $name != root ]
then
echo "$name not allowed to login, System is Unavailable"
echo "Exiting"
sleep 2
exit
fi
fi

touch /etc/nologin and chmod 444

Then the non root logins are banned when /etc/nologin exists and is readable


If csh users exists add code /etc/csh.login
