Netscape Browser will not start

[John Weinch]

I'm running HP-UX 10.20, and I just finished installing Netscape 4.7 for hpux
10.x, and when I launch Netscape from /opt/netscape, I get......

XLib: Connection to ":0.0" refused by server
XLib: Client is not Authorized to Connect to Server
ERROR: Can't open display: :0.0


Anyone else ever seen this??? I've checked my Xwindow display configuration,
and it seems to be correct (hostname:0.0) any ideas??? Thank you in advance!!

Warmest Regards,

John

John, a temporary work around is to enable client access by executing
#xhost +

To change the default to allow client access all the time for users, a resource
needs to be activated and the CDE login needs to be restarted:

1. copy the template resource file. Copy from /usr/dt/config/Xconfig:
# cp /usr/dt/config/Xconfig /etc/dt/config/Xconfig
2. Uncomment a line in /etc/dt/config/Xconfig:
#vi /etc/dt/config/Xconfig
remove the "#" at the beginning of the line:
#Dtlogin*authorize: False
Restart the X-server by rebooting the machine.

There are 2 types of X Authority :

1) User based X auth : enabled by default in the Xconfig file under HP-UX /
CDE.

2) Host based : run xhost + or create /etc/X0.hosts file.

See man X for full details, but the 2 mechanisms are separate and running xhost
+ will not affect errors wrt MIT Magic cookie authentication.

Thanks once again Berlene!!! I appreciate your help!! I can't believe I forgot
all about the xhost security?????? Oh, well!! Thanks again!!!!


Have a great day!!
