732.0. "ULTRIX - VMS display problem" by OSLACT::OLAV (Do it in parallel!) Fri May 05 1989 08:33

When running a DECwindows program on a ULTRIX machine with the DISPLAY
redirected to my VMS worktstation I have to enter "nodename::*" to the list
of authorized users. If I just add "nodename::username", I get the error message
"Client is not authorized to access server". Why?

732.1	Ultrix exports user id, not username	MAXDOG::kittell	Richard S. Kittell - Database Sys	`Fri May 05 1989 11:21`	8
	It is because your Ultrix system is identifying you as nodename::nnn instead of nodenname::username., where nnn is your user id. % echo $uid ! will show your user id value. This is in the Release Notes.

	"% echo $uid" didn't work, but I did a "% cat /etc/passwd" to find the uid. Thanks, Olav

	If your installation is running Yellow Pages, the command will be ypcat passwd \| grep username where 'username' is your username.
