HP-UX X-windows authorisation

[Vignir Bjarnason]

Hi,
I have a HP-UX 11.0 and a Linux client.
I like to connect from my Linux to the HP-UX
but I'm not able to do that because of error;
I open a terminal in Linux and use telnet to the HP-UX.
I'm asked for display and hitting return I get error message: You are not authorized to connect to HP-machine.
How do I authorize it on the HP-UX ??

1) Make sure the font server is running on HP-UX
/sbin/init.d/xfs start

For auto start at boot:
vi /etc/rc.config.d/xfs
make sure the first variable set to 1.

2) If you want telnet, make sure telnet is configured in /etc/inted.conf

3) Check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for more detail on the errors. Post here if you do not understand.

Thank you for your answer. There is nothing in the syslog and the font server is running.
I'm able to connect the HP-UX from other machines. I think this have more to do with security on the HP-UX. I need to put the IP-address of my Linux system somewhere, but I don't know where.

Not sure if this will help. But try adding the host name of the HP-UX box to your xhost list on you Linux box.

xhost + hpbox

(man xhost)

With the command ssh -X name
then it was working ok.

"SSH -Y ..." should work as well.
