9957.0. "Running on one AXP other login box remote.CDE 4.0b " by MDR01::ARANCHA (MCS Madrid) Tue May 27 1997 13:24

Hi,
My customer has two AXP: one 4100 and one Alphastsation 200.
He wants to do the following:
	Running on Alphastation 200 one session of 4100.
The environment is CDE.

There is an artic on star about it, but I can't do it work O.K.
1.  Copy the Xservers file from /usr/dt/config to /etc/dt/config and edit the 
    new file.                                                                
                                                                              
    # cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/                              
    # cd /etc/dt/config                                                       
    # dtpad Xservers                                                          
                                                                               
2.  Add a line at the bottom of the file similar to this:                     
                                                                             
    wkstnB:0 RemoteLogin foreign                                              

3.  The next step is to either reboot or stop and restart the X server on     
workstation A.  (Any unsaved work in session will be lost on this             
machine after issuing these commands):                                        
                                                                              
# /sbin/init.d/xlogin stop                                                    
# /sbin/init.d/xlogin start                                                   
                                                                                                                                                            
From this point on, as long as the remote system (workstation B) has an X     
server running, and the second workstation (workstation A) is running X-window
there should be a login screen on the remote node.                            
     

Please, anybody can help me? 
I think that it is posible.
I don't kow if I must add anything on another files.

Thanks for all,
Arancha

	There is a good writeup on exactly how to do this in the Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide See the section Displaying a Login Screen on a Network Display. You seem to be basically doing all the things that are required. I've gotten this to work by hand by starting the X server with X -querty <name of the server> This tells the X server to send XDCMP messages to the server. The method you are using is desribed under a section called Managing Non-XDMCP Network Displays. This should work too except you have to make sure that the remote workstation has access control set up to allow the login manager to display there. Try starting the remote X server with -ac to disable access control (this is like doing an xhost +). You can also use the Xn.hosts file to do this as well. Pete
