Xaccess problems

[Steve Coates]

I have been trying to get Xaccess to control who can connect to the Xserver. No mater what I out in the file the system continues to allow everyone on to connect.

As a test in the Xaccess file I have:
!dt7d50cc.ode.state.oh.us

I have restarted dtlogin (/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop/start). The system is still allowed to connect.

I did a search here and based on past posts this seems right.

Any suggestions?

Your syntax is correct.

It is however possible that the state of Ohio has multiple IP addresses and purposeful discrepencies in its DNS server.

do a dig or nslookup and do it by IP address.

Also, check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log during your login test so hou can get all of the IP addresses.

No the DNS is fine. We run our own and everything is as expected.

I tried a Xaccess file with nothing in it , which with how I understaqnd it should prevent any connections. It still allows me to connect even configured that way.

Hi Steve,

Have you updated Xconfig to point to the new access file?

cp /usr/dt/config/Xconfig /etc/dt/config/Xconfig

In /etc/dt/config/Xconfig
Replace
Dtlogin.accessFile: Xaccess
With
Dtlogin.accessFile: /etc/dt/config/Xaccess

Now make any configuration changes you would like in /etc/dt/config/Xaccess file and then run:
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc reset

Yes I did change it to point at the /etc/dt/config/Xaccess but by default it looks there first and then at /usr/dt/config.

I did start and stop dtlogin.

From everything I have looked at it seems it never even looks at the Xaccess file.

And by "connect" you mean the X server is still accepting XDMCP connections? Does the server still accept connections after running "/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop"?

Bastille does something very similar to disable XDMCP connections from remote hosts, so if it's not working I'd like to know.

Steve,

Try cp /usr/dt/config/Xaccess ->

/etc/dt/config/Xaccess : vi ->

!dt7d50cc.ode.state.oh.us
*

(in that order as it's important)

exit CDE

/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -reset ... or preferably
/sbin/init 2 followed by init 3

result ?
