1852.0. "Firewall on a server without graphics board ???" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Olivier Decroupette) Tue Mar 11 1997 04:34

Hi,

I'd like to know if it's possible to run the altavista firewall on a server
(like a DEC3000/900) with no graphical board.
When the system boots it starts the alarmd daemon... and gives the following
error message:

pid:/usr/dfws/etc/alarmd: /sbin/loader : fatal error : cannot map libX11.so

As the process is of respawn type, a login is no more possible ... so in
single user mode I removed the last line in /etc/inittab.

Is the firewall running if this process isn't ? I exported the display on a
VXT200 and ran netscape but it
couldn't connect to localhost:8314 as needed. Is it due to to what I
mentionned earlier or just that the firewall is running but
prohibits such X communication ?

Could someone help me?

Thanks a lot.

    We did this a number of months ago.  We installed the AltaVista
    Firewall for Digital UNIX on a AlphaStation, however, to configure and
    manage the system we logged in and set a remote display back to a 
    DEC 3000 Model 500. 
    
    From the DEC 3000 we were able to do everything.  I assume that even if
    we had a PC running eXcursion or some other similar X Server we could
    have achieved the same results.  You must be doing something incorrect.
