Yes (though not documented or supported). You can create a file called
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_ALLOWED.DAT with the following line in
it:
DECNET servernode serveruser
Where servernode is the DECnet node name of your stock dealing system,
and serveruser is the USER NAME under which the stock dealing system
runs.
When you start DECwindows, you'll want to only start the server, and
not the login prompter.

| Re .0 (1.), yes it is possible to replace the mouse with a track ball.
I've replaced mine with one made by ITAC Systems, Inc., Garland, Texas
75042. I think i paid around $180 (+- a few bucks, including shipping)
for it. It's not the greatest ergonomically designed track ball but it
is plug compatible with the DEC mouse.

| RE: Trackball
There's also a company in California (LA area I think) called Evergreen
Systems that makes a DEC compatible trackball. (compatible with the
corporate mouse, not the old square box mouse)

| 2908.4 | 90% there, thanks ! | WELWEL::GRAHAM | Hopelessly Hopeful ! | Tue Jun 26 1990 09:15 | 33 |
| Thanks for the replies. I have tested the remote display part and am
90% there ! What I have done is :
1. Created DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_ALLOWED.DAT;2
DECNET wellin manager_dg
DECNET welwel manager_dg
DECNET welwel system
where WELLIN is the boot node and WELWEL is a satellite
2. Commented out the line $ RUN sys$system:decw$startlogin
in sys$manager:decw$startapps.com
This presents a blank screen on WELWEL. From WELLIN I can do
a set display and run applications (clock, bookreader etc) and they
will appear on the screen of welwel.
The only problem I have is that if I log onto welwel (via set host)
and try to fire up an application I get an access error -
WELWEL$ mcr decw$clock
Xlib: connection to "WELWEL::0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to access server
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
%DWT-F-DWTABORT, xtoolkit fatal error
Why is this ? Once this is solved then at system startup time a batch
job can be used to start any local applications.
Regards,
dave

| 2908.5 | Need to authorize LOCAL as well as DECnet | STAR::VATNE | Peter Vatne, VMS Development | Tue Jun 26 1990 15:15 | 7 |
| When you run an application on the workstation itself, Xlib communicates
through a local, shared-memory based transport instead of DECnet. To
use this, you must also authorize connections using "LOCAL":
LOCAL welwel manager_dg
LOCAL welwel system
