xdmcp

[Ross Minkov]

How do I enable xdmcp on an 11i system? I have Cygwin on my PC and want to be able to connect to the HP-UX system using something like:
XWin.exe -query hp-ux_server

Xwindows?

On the HP box:

vi /etc/rc.config.d/xfs

Set the first variable to 1.

Restart the system or font server.

/sbin/init.d/xfs start

You need to make sure "dtlogin" is running. Check for an entry in one of the files in /etc/rc.config.d for CDE (Not near an HP-UX box right now so can't be more precise). These files configure how various services get started. Then go to /sbin/init.d and find the cde startup script (grep -i dtlogin *) if you can't immediately see which one it is and run it with an argument of "start".

This, of course, assumed it isn't already running :)

Hi,

xdmcp is implemented by dtlogin process in HP-UX.

Check for the process

# ps -ef | grep dtlogin

If not running then

# /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

Thanks,

Sundar.
