1840.0. "Displaying VMS on an ULTRIX Server" by ARTFUL::SCOTT (TPU, TP me, TP them, TP ... we?) Mon Dec 04 1989 13:50

How do you go about displaying a VMS application on an Ultrix server?  I've
looked at all the titles in this conference containing Ultrix, and all I've
found is some advice on doing the reverse (Ultrix Client, VMS Server).  I've
tried adding a security entry on the ultrix server for VMSNODE::0 and doing
a SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=ULTRIXNODE:: and then running the application, but
that gets me an XLIB I/O error message.

Thanks.

1840.1	By the way ...	ARTFUL::SCOTT	TPU, TP me, TP them, TP ... we?	`Mon Dec 04 1989 13:52`	1
	BTW, this is VMS V5.2 and Ultrix V3.0 (i.e., DECwindows V1 on both).
1840.2	It works - I use it every day...	BLOCKP::neth	Craig Neth	`Mon Dec 04 1989 14:09`	3
	The security entry on the ULTRIX node should say VMSNODE:: or VMSNODE::USER, not VMSNODE::0 (you're telling it the only username to accept connects from is the name '0', which I doubt is your username on the VMS system...)
1840.3	/SCREEN=0	LUNER::CARLSON		`Tue Dec 05 1989 11:52`	3
	Try this SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=ULTRIXNODE::/SCREEN=0
1840.4	/SCREEN should not be necessary	STAR::VATNE	Peter Vatne, VMS Development	`Tue Dec 05 1989 12:17`	7
	re: .3 > Try this > SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=ULTRIXNODE::/SCREEN=0 The default value for /SCREEN is 0, so this qualifier should not be necessary. I believe reply .2 is on the right track...
1840.5	Thanks (but no thanks to the doc and error messages)	ARTFUL::SCOTT	TPU, TP me, TP them, TP ... we?	`Wed Dec 06 1989 15:20`	7
	Thanks--I got it to work. The documentation doesn't seem to address the vaga- ries of doing this, and the error messages are very misleading (1. if the secu- rity entry's missing or wrong, you get an Xlib I/O error instead of an access violation message; and 2. the Ultrix session manager's security form won't ac- cept "host::username", if "host" is not currently defined in DECnet's database-- when it balks, it claims that you got the syntax wrong).
