Hi

If not sure then

www.docs.hp.com
select
search this site (In Blue Area)

Give Xaccess

First result is CDE documentation where it is well explained.

If you look in /var/dt/Xerrors and find errors over MIT then look at Xconfig

Hello

You want to use SAM on a remote station and display it on your
local machine ?

If so you must do this :

- On the local machine : xhost +

- On the remote machine :
# DISPLAY=local_machine_name:0.0
# export DISPLAY
# sam

the file you need to create is /etc/X0.hosts

put in it the hostname or ip address of the remote systems you wish to grant access to.

This is an X issue not CDE !

extract from man Xserver ->



The sample server also uses a host-based access control list for
deciding whether or not to accept connections from clients on a
particular machine. This list initially consists of the host on which
the server is running as well as any machines listed in the file
/etc/Xn.hosts, where n is the display number of the server. Each line
of the file should contain an Internet hostname (e.g.
expo.lcs.mit.edu.) There should be no leading or trailing spaces on
any lines. For example:

joesworkstation
corporate.company.com
Standard input
