How to start the udp port 177 in HP-UX

[Harikrishnan L]

Hi Dues,

I have the problem to connect the x manger remote connection from windows machine to HP-UX server.
It is using the port number 177. how do i start the port number 177 in HP-UX.

#netstat -an | grep 177
output is not showing any thing..

You don't "start the port". You run (or
register) a program which listens at that
port. In this case, you probably wish to
enable an XDMCP server. Look for one of
those.

I know nothing, but a Google search for
keywords like, say,
hp-ux xdmcp
finds many things, many of which seem to
point to files like:

/usr/dt/config/Xaccess
/usr/dt/config/Xconfig

A Forum search might find other things, too.

Potentially useful:

man dtlogin


> # uname -a

Usually a good way to start.

Hi Thanks for you replay

# man dtlogin
No manual entry for dtlogin.


# netstat -an | grep 177
#

#/usr/dt dont have that file.

[Harikrishnan L]

# xclock
sh: xclock: not found.

# uname -a
HP-UX maa2tamh B.11.31 U ia64 xxxxx unlimited-user license

Did you try anything like a Forum search for
keywords like, say,
install cde
?

Or you could just read the manual(s). (Only
a thought.)

HI All,

What's your PATH?

echo $PATH

Around here:

dyi # which xclock
/usr/bin/X11/xclock

dyi # which xhost
/usr/bin/X11/xhost


You run "xhost" on the X server system (your
Windows system), not on the X client system
(the HP-UX system).

"I am not able" is not a very useful problem
description. It does not say what you did.
It does not say what happened when you did
it.

You may need to look at the system log files
to see what's happening.

[Harikrishnan L]

# DISPLAY=10.92.1.87:0.0
# export $DISPLAY
sh: 10.92.1.87:0.0: This is not an identifier.
# echo $DISPLAY
10.92.1.87:0.0
#

export DISPLAY

"$DISPLAY" is the _value_ of the variable,
not the _name_ of the variable.


I assume that "10.92.1.87" is the IP address
of the Windows system, but whether this is
a useful thing to do depends on what you're
doing. And, with my weak psychic powers, I
don't know what you're doing.

One thing I know you're _not_ doing is
running suggested commands and reporting the
results. Another thing you're not doing is
describing in any detail exactly what you are
doing.
