Setting up a workstation for use as an X11 Xterminal

hi,
I want to set up a workstation for use an an X11 Xterminal. I tested 11.0 workstation, everything is ok. but 11.i, i have some problems.
Sometimes I chose a server in server list, login screen was not show up. In a login state, i click an exit icon, server list scrren(main screen) was not return.

Is it possible to set up a workstation(11i) for use an an X11 Xterminal?

Here is a specific example of how it can be done.
1. On workstation, modify /etc/dt/config/Xaccess to contain
* CHOOSER BROADCAST.

2. On workstation, modify /etc/inittab to contain

xind:4:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/X -indirect host_name

3. On workstation, modify /etc/dt/config/Xservers so that the Local
entry was commented out:

# * Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

Hi
Sure it is possible. For some time I used this (on a HP-UX 11i workstation),unfortunatly this workstation is reinstalled so I cant check how it was configured. I had problem to get all working automatic but one simple metod that worked for me was to disable CDE and log in with a "ordinary" terminal session. Then I started X as a command (/usr/bin/X11/X -indirect). Then i run as a X-terminal until I crashed the X-server with shift-control-pause.

Hi

1)I would not respawn it but make a user who calls the X to give the chooser.

2)You need a font server. -fp option

/usr/bin/X11/X -query 15.160.35.105 -fp tcp/15.160.35.105:7000 -terminate &

3)If it does die look at the destination machines /var/dt/Xserrors
