I am running DECwindows on a mvax II/GPX with Ultrix 4.0 FT2.
Whenever I do anything with the session manager customize->security
window, DECwindows crashes. If I add a node and hit 'OK', it crashes.
Once, it even crashed when I merely moved the window.
Also, if I set the node manually in '.Xdefaults' I can't get output
from a node running Ultrix 3.1. Error is 'Server not authorized...'
(yes, I setenv'd 'DISPLAY', first)
Any help appreciated,
Peter Keegan

I have this problem and reported a priority H QAR on it on Jan. 19 (GORGE UWS QAR database number 2257). | |||||

Have you installed the X server patch included in the ULTRIX V4.0 FT2 mandatory patch subset? And, are you running DECnet and attempting to include a DECnet hostname when the crash occurs? You probably get the idea by now... if you have not installed the patch, please do so, because it includes a fix for the scenario described above. The patch applies to all UWS X servers in FT2. In addition to crashing when adding hosts, the problem also has been seen when logging in. It results from walking on memory due to a change in DECnet hostname that was not picked up until late in the game. John Hoffman former UWS V4.0 Project Leader | |||||
