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.
