	Do you set security on your VMS machine?  This can be done 
	under the customize menu item in the Session Manager.

Yes. Sorry for not mentioning that.

| 925.3 | Another possibility | AVIATE::SHAH | Yanks in '89 | Tue Jun 13 1989 07:44 | 6 |

	Is your VMS node set properly in the NCP database on your
	Ultrix machine?

|  |     For an Ultrix to VMS connection, you need the UID in the username part
    of the VMS-side authorization.  It's often easiest to specify node::*.
 | 
| 925.5 | ::0 was needed | BDWISR::HEAFEY | How's the guy in the audience? | Tue Jun 13 1989 10:33 | 18 | 
|  | 	Got it to work! Not sure if this is the supported way but, it worked
for me.
On the VMS node:
I put ultrixnode::* in my security database per .4.
On the ULTRIX node:
setenv DISPLAY mystation::0
/usr/bin/dxmail
The "::0" was the key.
Thanks for all your help,
Dave H.

| 925.6 | two security entries...uid and name | R2ME2::OBRYAN | When in doubt, let the user decide. | Wed Jun 14 1989 21:33 | 7 |

I've found that SOME applications require both the user name AND uid need
to be defined in the security list (e.g. ultrix::user,   ultrix::321).
Some security-conscious types will find node::* to be a security hole.

| 925.7 | Related issue but only on VMS... | TOOK::L_OUELLETTE |  | Fri Jun 16 1989 13:25 | 19 | 
|  | I have a problem that is somewhat related and was hoping to find out if anyone
has any ideas... when I run some applications (e.g. DECW$CLOCK) with 
my security set to:  myworkstation-node::myaccountname (using myworkstation-node
and logged in as myaccountname) everything works fine - as to be expected.  
The problem is that if I, from a DECterm window, do a set host back to 
myworkstation-node and log in as SYSTEM, define my security as:
myworkstation-node::SYSTEM, I get:
XIO: non-translatable vms error code: 0x2DBA002, vms message:
%decw-e-cnxabort, connection aborted
%XLIB-F-IOERROR, xlib io error
%TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows
Interestingly enough, if I setup my security as *::SYSTEM, everything works
just fine - and yes I do have decw$display defined as myworkstation-node::0.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
