2118.0. "X across net problem, help!" by WPOMM2::ZAMBOTTI () Tue Jan 23 1990 23:47

Hi but once again,

Ok so I log onto my ULTRIX PMAX and start a session on a VMS PVAX like :

	% dlogin wpopc1
	USERNAME: ZAMBOTTI
	PASSWORD: #####
	.
	.
	.
	$ set display/create/node=wpomm1::
	$ dxcalc

And low and behold I can run X applications accross the net, simply amazing!

But if I log onto the VMS PVAX and try and run an X application on the ULTRIX
PMAX it wont go.  Here's I try : (starting from a DECterm on the VMS PVAX)

	$ set host wpomm1
	login: zambotti
	password:#####
	.
	.
	.
	% setenv DISPLAY = wpopc1::
	% dxcalc
	X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
	%

I have tried issuing "xhost wpopc1::" but all I get is :

	xhost:  unable to open display "wpopc1::"

I have also made sure the the security from both session managers has each of
the others node entries, but still no go.

What have I failed to do guys/girls ?

Signed X netting only half way there,

    I don't know if this is your problem, but the correct SETENV command
    is:
    
    setenv DISPLAY wpopc1::0

    Please reply with the host list entry on the PVAX for the PMAX (i.e.
    DECNET WPOPC1 ?).
