Can not Log in CDE via Reflection

[Bruno Vilardo]

Hello all,

I am using Reflection X 11 to connect the UNIX cde environment.
But when i try to connect, it gives me the following message

"Cannot obtain database information on this terminal"

I alsom checked the
/dt/Xerrors file and it says :

Wed Apr 7 11:55:32 2004
error (pid 747): Cannot convert Internet address 10.251.38.80 to host name

Does anybody knows what this could be ?

TIA

Hi Bruno,

greetings,

Michael

[Bruno Vilardo]

Hey Michael,
Yes it is added at /etc/hosts

10.251.38.38 SCSTER099


Thanks

Bruno

By the way ,

I can login using telnet but not the graphic interface.
When i try to connect i also get the following message :

! userFont or fallback font cannot be proportional. Switching to default fixed font.


Thanks

Bruno

Bruno,

If your entry is correct, then there is a mistake in /etc/hosts. You say it contains
10.251.38.38, but your PC is .38.80

YEs you are right , i ve changed the the ip to 38.80 but still the same.
I can use it with others Servers like SOLARIS and it works.
Maybe there is sometinhg specific with the TRU64 unix ?


Thanks a lot
Bruno

Are you running Enhanced Security on the Tru64 system?

Can you use wrq just to create an Xterm?

Anyway, from you screen shot it would seem that your screen simply is not big enough, with the bottom falling away?
Does MB2 bring up a menu?
- Start out with an 800x600 desktop?
- Oversize the windos display properties?

It's funny, 10.251.38.80 is not the host you used to contact the server! You wrote

10.251.38.38 SCSTER099

this is not equal to the error message showing a problem with 10.251.38.80!

Btw. the given message "cannot obtain database information on this terminal" is typical for C2 problems. Do you have C2 enabled?

If so please add the ip-adress of the X11-Server (here 10.251.38.80) to the C2 database
of terminals allowed to connect to the server!

[Bruno Vilardo]

First sorry for the delay..

Hello All,
THanks for the responses ...

Hey Ralf, How do i know that i have C2 enabled ?
And how do i add the Ip-address of the X11 Server to the C2 database?

Thanks
Appreciate a lot
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Ralf's terminology is colloquial. He is referring to Enhanced Security, which is often used to achieve a C2 level of security. You can find information on Enhanced Security in the Security manual (or Security Administration manual for V5.1b).

In the V5.1a Security manual the information you're looking for is in chapter 8, "Creating and Modifying Secure Devices" In the V5.1b Security Administration manual it is in section A.8.

Bruno..
Did you try deleting the .dt directory and try to login again?
Usually when there is something for me like that, I telnet to the machine, move the .dt directory to .dt_old directory, logout and login again.
Remember, if you login with a user, mv the .dt directory in the home folder for that user.

Forgot to mention that when you mv that directory, and login again, the OS creates a new fresh one for you
