Hi,
I encountered some problems loging from a SUSE Linux pc onto a HP-UX server and redirecting the DISPLAY to the Suse pc. Here is what I am doing (suse and hpux stand for the names of the two boxes):
[suse]$ xhost + hpux [suse]$ rlogin hpux [hpux]$ export DISPLAY=suse:0.0 [hpux]$ xclock Error: Can't open display: suse:0.0
- Networking works fine, both "ping suse" and "ping hpux" work. - The Xserver listens to tcp port 6000, "ps -edaf | grep xdm" gives root 6123 6113 2 11:41 tty7 00:00:07 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br :0 vt7 -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-N9wgXF - "netstat -ln" confirms that: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::6000 :::* LISTEN - "ssh -X" is no alternatice as there is no reliable ssh available for the (very old) HP-UX server.
I could not find any other configurations that should hinder the DISPLAY or any advice what else to do. Do you have any ideas what else I could try?
You have DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager right? You could try logging in to another SUSE Linux machine and try to export the DISPLAY to your own box to see how that goes. I tried and it worked for me. Also, check the firewall stuff. From hpux, try "telnet susebox 6000"; you should get a "Connected" response. And use just "xhost +", while you test, to rule out DNS problems. You can restrict aftewards. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
