Hi,

on Solaris run:
xhost +
telnet to hpserver and set DISPLAY variable

export DISPLAY=solaris_ip:0

run xterm command to check

Could you be more explicit about your configuration ?

I understand you have a workstation with an opened X session to a solaris 9. You try to get graphical App from an HP-UX server. Could you confirm ?

If this is the case, from your session on HP-UX export DISPLAY to your workstation. Launch App and it should work (just do as if solaris does not exist - it shouldn't be hard :).

Regards,

Fred

remember you have to run xhosts + on solaris console.

Hi,

to get full CDE session from remote host, you must run local X server with sending XDMCP query packet to remote host.

From HP machine it can be done by:

1. Not login to CDE, but choose Command Line

2. Run X server with options:

/usr/bin/X11/X -query hostname

To run CDE session from remote HP host on local solaris9 machine, the idea is the same.

Make sure, that dtlogin process is running on remote host.

Regards,
Zygmunt

to disable access control type:
xhost +
export display
"export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:x.x" ip and port number.
This will enable you to start an exported gui session on your terminal.

Instead of xhost + (wide open)....just xhost hpservername

Or better yet, create a little file of hosts you want to trust for X:


cat /home/gwild/xhost.sh
xhost +svr003
xhost +svr004
xhost +svr031
xhost +svr032
xhost +svr100
xhost +svr101
xhost +sha1

so, from Solaris, telnet to the hp server, export DISPLAY=solarisserver:0
