Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
Hello, Pardon my ignorance, but what am I supposed to do to solve the problem ?

What about this message ? This just means your local server is not running. Same as before with can't connect to localhost:6000. But this time DISPLAY was :0.0, not localhost:0.0 bye ago

Which means: use XDMCP don't use xterm. Please correct me, if I am wrong. Regards, Marek Alexander Gottwald skrev: On Wed, 4 May 2005, a12 wrote: Hello, Pardon my ignorance, but what am I supposed to do to solve the problem ? Start XWin.
XWin -indirect
Hello. I am having a problem with XWin -indirect, where the foreign machine cannot access my local X server. I have researched the mailing list archives, and found this thread to be very similar: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-06/msg00331.html But, it did not conclude with an answer that seemed useful to me. Or least, it was not an answer I understood. My scenario: -I have several development Solaris and Linux systems, which are running xdm, kdm, or dtlogin. -I have several users running Windows XP with Cygwin/X. These users can connect to all of the Unix systems just fine with the invocation: XWin -query target-ip-address However, this means I have to manage several startup scripts for the users, edit and add to them, as target systems change, which they do here every couple of weeks. I have one system which is stable and non-changing, so I thought it might be useful to make one script which had the invocation: XWin -indirect stable-target-system And let the users select the system they wanted that day. The problem: Well, the user does get the list of systems, however, they can only access the system specified as the parameter to the indirect option. All of the other systems are blocked from accessing the XWin server on the user's machine, including the user's own machine. An excerpt from kdm log output on one of the Linux systems: Hung in XOpenDisplay(users_system_addr:0), aborting server open failed for users_system_addr:0, giving up This seems like an access control problem with XWin at the user's system. I would like to run xhost + but the local system can't access XWin either. (Yes, I realize the security implications, but want to get it working first) I have tried establishing an /etc/X0.host file, but XWin seems to disregard it. Could someone provide some insight, or point me in the right direction, please? Thanks in advance, Bill Schaffer -- Let it snow

It means exactly what it says: run startx (or startxwin.bat, or start XWin.exe ..., or any of your favorite methods for starting the X server on your local machine) before running ssh -X/Y.

Re: XWin -indirect
Thanks! That was the tip I needed. The one machine that couldn't access the others via XWin -query was the one I picked to test with. I went over to one of the other Win systems, did the -indirect and had no problems. A Windows firewall issue. I hate when that happens.
