Hello all HP-UX Gurus,

I am trying to connect to an HP-UX 11.11 workstation via Hummingbird
eXceed 7.1.

I modified the following file:

/var/adm/inetd.sec

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# The lines in the file contain a service name, permission field and
# the Internet addresses or names of the hosts and/or networks
# allowed to use that service in the local machine.
# The form for each entry in this file is:
#
# <service name> <allow/deny> <host/network addresses, host/network
names>
#
# For example:
#
# login allow 10.3-5 192.34.56.5 ahost anetwork
login allow 10.1.1.100 winxp01
#
# The above entry allows the following hosts to attempt to access your
system
# using rlogin:
# hosts in subnets 3 through 5 in network 10,
# the host with Internet Address of 192.34.56.5,
# the host by the name of "ahost",
# all the hosts in the network "anetwork"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I also added the following line in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm
*loginShell:True

The following files do not exist.
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/HPterm
/etc/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtterm
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This will be found as /usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtterm. Don't change that file!
Copy it to /etc/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtterm and change the copy. All changes to
CDE files should happen on a copy under /etc/dt.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I bring up Exceed I see the host name and IP Address but when I
try and connect the X window does not come up. Are their any other
files I need to modify or create?

Neither of the files you modified has anything to do with allowing in incoming
X connection.

The inetd.sec file is for daemons started by inetd, and your X connection is
not...

Setting "*loginShell: True" will make new Xterm windows be "login shells" - in
other words, they will source your dot files as happens when you login...

What you need to do is a) make sure you are running at the correct runlevel for
X and b) you modify the correct files to allow X connections.

For "a", make sure you have a link in /sbin/rc3.d like this:

S990dtlogin.rc -> /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc

You may need to run "/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start" to start the dtlogin
daemon... use 'ps -ef' to check if it is running.

For "b", take a look at /usr/dt/config/Xaccess. It should have the following
entries uncommented:

* # grant service to all remote displays

* CHOOSER BROADCAST # any indirect host can get a chooser

Note those "*" chars need to be uncommented.

If you need to modify the file to get the entries correct, copy it to
/etc/dt/config/Xaccess and modify that copy.
