1794.0. "Ultrix client --> VMS server; security problems" by MU::PORTER (MB1 for choice...) Mon Nov 27 1989 14:20
I'm having trouble running clients on a PMAX (UWS V2.1) with output
to a VAXstation running VMS V5.3.
DECterm works fine: on the PMAX, I type "dxterm -d mu::0", and the
terminal window comes up on the VAXstation. I can get any number
of windows up in this manner.
Anything else I try (dxclock, dxpaint, gnu emacs) gets me an error
message saying "client not authorized to access server".
The one I'm really interested in is emacs, but I tried the DECwindows
applications in an effort to isolate the problem.
Anyone got any idea as to what's going on? Is this some kind
of V1/V2 incompatibility?

| I'm not sure if this is an exact translation of .1, but: Check your
authorization file to make sure you are specifying both your username
and your UID as valid users coming from the client node. An application
running as root will pass the username (is DECterm running root?) and
a normal app will pass the uid to DECnet in Ultrix.
