After login under DECwindows to one account, I've set host to
another account on the same system and then tried running the
BOOKREADER. The error message I get is, as follows:
$ run sys$system:decw$bookreader
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
%DWT-F-DWTABORT, xtoolkit fatal error
The BOOKREADER runs fine from the account I originally log into,
but after hosting to another account on the same system, I can't
get any DECwindows software to run.
Is this what DECwindows does, or is there something I can do to
solve the problem?

| 252.1 | Sound like Session Security | OIWS20::BRYSON | Mon Feb 20 1989 12:57 | 18 | |
When you set host, I assume that you either
1. DEFINE DECW$DISPLAY WSA#:
where WSA#: is the WS device used by non-set host terminals
2. Performed a SET DISPLAY command
In either case, your problem sounds like security from the session
manager. From your set host terminal, perform a SHOW DISPLAY.
If you see node is 0 and transport is local, add a permission in the
session manager security 0::*. If you see node is <NODENAME> and
transport is DECNET, add a permission in the session manager security
NODENAME::*. Apply it and this should solve the problem. Obviously
using "*" allows anyone on this system to set up a connect to your
display, you may want to add only specific usernames. You could use
"*" while testing, however.
