3508.0. "ACCESS DENIED FORM CLIENT TO SERVER" by LATINA::CARVAJAL (Rafael Mart�nez, TSC Madrid, Spain) Tue Oct 23 1990 11:49

    Dear All:
    
    We want to know if there is somethig equivalent to the
    DECW$SERVER_ACCES_ALLOWED.DAT VMS file in ULTRIX UWS 
    
    
    We are trying to execute an aplication form a client to a server
    using TCP/IP. When we do:
    
          # setenv DISPLAY node:0.0
          # dxclock
    
    we get this error message form the client :
    
              Xlib : connection to "node:0.0" refused by server
              Xlib : Server is not authorized to connect to host
              XTolkit error : Can't Open display.
    
      
    Any suggestion about it ?
    
    Thank's a lot.

3508.1	session manager - customize security	OXNARD::KLEE	Ken Lee	`Tue Oct 23 1990 13:55`	6
	The easiest way to modify UWS access control is through the session manager "customize security" dialog. You can also use the (unsupported) xhost program or the eqivalent Xlib calls. Ken
3508.2	Another suggestions, please	LATINA::CARVAJAL	Rafael Mart�nez, TSC Madrid, Spain	`Wed Oct 24 1990 08:33`	8
	Yes you are right my dear, but what happen if we don't want to login into the window manager. I think you didn't try to do it, in other way you didn't answer it. Would you like to read again our note and try to do it. We think perhaps you change your mind. Carlos

	Hi, I managed some time ago to display a vms login dialog box on a ultrix server. I think I used a file called /etc/X0.hosts. I don't remember the exact syntax in this file. I think it contains lines specifying nodenames and transport, like decw$server_access_allowed.dat do. Hope this help, Jean-Marc.
3508.4	The solution at all	LATINA::CARVAJAL	Rafael Mart�nez, TSC Madrid, Spain	`Thu Oct 25 1990 05:25`	21
	We have found the way to use and Ultrix node as a Xserver. 1 - Comment out the line "0: "/usr/bin/login ...... in /etc/ttys 2 - Create a file call X'display-number'.hosts with the names (one each line) of the hosts you allow to display an application into your system 3 - Include "/usr/bin/Xmfb &" (Start the Xserver) as the last line in /etc/rc.local 4 - Restart the system Now you can execute in Xclient # setenv DISPLAY node_name:0 # application That's all folks Our greattings to SIMON (Valbonne)
