657.0. "Running on A200 one CDE session of remote node " by MDR01::ARANCHA (MCS Madrid) Wed May 28 1997 10:41

I posted it on Digital_unix conference, but I need any idea.
******
Hi,
My customer has two AXP: one 4100 and one Alphastsation 200.
He wants to do the following:
	Running on Alphastation 200 one session of 4100.
The environment is CDE.

There is an artic on star about it, but I can't do it work O.K.
1.  Copy the Xservers file from /usr/dt/config to /etc/dt/config and edit the 
    new file.                                                                
                                                                              
    # cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/                              
    # cd /etc/dt/config                                                       
    # dtpad Xservers                                                          
                                                                               
2.  Add a line at the bottom of the file similar to this:                     
                                                                             
    wkstnB:0 RemoteLogin foreign                                              

3.  The next step is to either reboot or stop and restart the X server on     
workstation A.  (Any unsaved work in session will be lost on this             
machine after issuing these commands):                                        
                                                                              
# /sbin/init.d/xlogin stop                                                    
# /sbin/init.d/xlogin start                                                   
                                                                                                                                                            
From this point on, as long as the remote system (workstation B) has an X     
server running, and the second workstation (workstation A) is running X-window
there should be a login screen on the remote node.                            
     

Please, anybody can help me? 
I think that it is posible.
I don't kow if I must add anything on another files.

Thanks for all,
Arancha

PRODUCT: DIGITAL[R] Unix Version 4.0

OP/SYS: DIGITAL Unix Version V4.0

SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation


QUESTION:

A user has DIGITAL Unix V4.0b running on workstation 'A' and wants to
create a login box for this workstation to appear on workstation 'B'.
Can this be done?


ANSWER:

In order to accomplish this, both workstations need to be capable of
running an X server.  To start, on workstation A, perform these steps:

1.  Copy the Xservers file from /usr/dt/config to /etc/dt/config and edit the
    new file.

    # cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/
    # cd /etc/dt/config
    # vi Xservers

    Note:  Any text editor can be used to modify the file.


2.  Add a line at the bottom of the file similar to this:

    wkstnB:0 RemoteLogin foreign

    The first parameter, wkstnB:0, is simply the node name of the
    remote worktation and display device 0.  If workstation B is in
    the same subnet as workstation A, all that is needed is name:0, otherwise,
    a full domain name is required - wkrstnB.do.ma.in:0.

    The next item, RemoteLogin, can be any text string, like a comment.

    The final item is 'foreign' for remote login windows.


3.  Save the modified file.


4.  The next step is to either reboot or stop and restart the X server on
workstation A.  (Any unsaved work in session will be lost on this
machine after issuing these commands):

# /sbin/init.d/xlogin stop
# /sbin/init.d/xlogin start


From this point on, as long as the remote system (workstation B) has an X
server running, and the second workstation (workstation A) is running X-windows,
there should be a login screen on the remote node.
