Respectly !

We have a problem with logging from VAX workstations 4000/60
and VAX stations 3100, if we try to make connection to
XDM server which is runing on UNIX system.
X session is only possible to make when we use very high
priority username which is registered on server.
In case where privileges are to small the x session is refused.
On the same XDM server we can log in with Multia on Alpha
platform/NT or Alphastation with UNIX and also 
with other stations(non DEC) no matter which privileges are
given to the user.
Is there any reasonable answer.
If the problem is in versions of VMS or Motif, we have no problem
to change it.

Regards

1575.1Consider OpenVMS Upgrade, Use V6 FeaturesXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringTue Feb 11 1997 15:049
   The security alarms and use-of-privilege alarms available in OpenVMS
   V6.0 and later -- current is V7.1 -- make tracking down file access
   failures and privilege-related problems quite easy.

   On a version as old as V5.5-2, tracking these sorts of problems down
   can be quite tedious, and involves checking each file and all of its
   parent directories that are involved in the failing operation.
