2791.0. "ULTRIX -> VMS & server access again !" by BLKPUD::THOMASA (Wow I,ve got a colour ....) Mon May 21 1990 09:34

Hi all,
	I'm having some trouble running a client process on an Ultrix machine 
to display to a VMS workstation. I keep on getting the 

"Xlib: connection to "fltcap::0.0" refused by server"
"Xlib: Client is not authorized to access server"      message.
"X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display"

Steps taken so far

1. decnet is running on the Ultrix node   (can do %dlogin vmsnode:: OK)

2. NCP on the ultrix node knows about the VMS node and vice versa.

3. The security of the VMS session manager is set up for 

		Ultrix_nodename::Ultrix_username
      AND       Ultrix_nodename::UID                 (from % id  command)

4. I even tried Ultrix_nodename::*

	and even *::*  !!   but no joy 


( I'm trying to do   % setenv DISPLAY fltcap::0
		     % /usr/bin/dxclock &

		or   % /usr/bin/dxclock -d fltcap::0 & 
			
	(fltcap = the vms node)    


	
	Anyone have any more ideas please ?


		Thank in advance

    Can you provide a little more detail about step 3?  Are you using the
    session manager's security dialog box?  What values are you entering in
    each of the three text widgets?

	Yes I am using the session managers customize security box. (and I have
ADD'ed APPLY'ed and OK'd my values )

The values I provide are :-


	node :   DECUK              	-- ULTRIX NODE NAME
    Username :   DAT			-- MY USERNAME
    Transport:   DECNET


AND 

	node :   DECUK
     Username:   1077			-- UID FROM % id   COMMAND on ultrix
     Transport   DECNET			   node.


	As I said I've also tried


	     Node    DECUK      and ..    *
         Username    *                    *
	Transport    DECNET               DECNET



	Hope this helps.. sorry it wasn't clear.

			Thanks in advance

Look in SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG.  It will tell you what the server is
seeing as the incoming node and username.

2791.4the .log files not much useBLKPUD::THOMASAWow I,ve got a colour ....Tue May 22 1990 06:0447
OK so here are the decw$server_0_error log files. When the server starts it
seems to create two of these. One which is locked all the time by the server
when it is running and one that is not

 So I started my decwindows server and after logging in fired a few
applications from the ULTRIX node with the usual results (.. not authorized ...)
 Then I stopped the decwindows server by stopping its process. 

The decw$sever_0_error.log;1  -- the log file locked by the server while it was
running was empty -- ( $ type $ set file/end  $ dir/siz=all )

The file decw$server_0_error.log;2 contained :-

22-MAY-1990 09:25:55.3 Hello, this is the X server
Dixmain address=13074
Now attach all known txport images
%DECW-I-ATTACHED, transport DECNET attached to its network
%DECW-W-ATT_FAIL, failed to attach transport LAT

22-MAY-1990 09:30:10.6 Connection 9adf8 is accepted by Txport

The entries from 9.29 onwards are about the time I tried to get the ultrix
machines applications fired up. these entries seem to of been appended to this
decw$server_0_error.log file at that time -- i didn't see them the first time
I looked at this file -- they don't appear to be very helpful.

	Any more ideas anyone ? (please !)

    I see no evidence that this server rejected any connections.  Thus, I
    have to ask whether the connections are ever arriving at THIS server. 
    
    I would do the following: check that the DECnet node databases for the
    client and server systems are correct, with respect to the other's
    address.  With that done, I'd then attempt to catch the link between
    the client and the server, on the server node.  Use the NCP command
    SHOW KNOWN LINKS on the VMS system to attempt to see whether the link
    is created (i.e. do this immediately after you start dxclock on the
    Ultrix system).
    
    Good luck.

There is something very funny going on here.  If you got the "not authorized"
message, and you were really looking at the log which belongs to the (VMS)
server which rejected your connection, there would be a log entry.  You would
not see those "accepted" messages at all.

This leads me to believe that maybe there is something funny happening like you
are not really displaying on the workstation you think you are trying to display
on.

I think you said that from the Ultrix machine you checked to see that the
names were known, but did you actually try

dlogin fltcap

and make sure you were really getting the machine you think you are?
