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
Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
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.
Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
Hello again, I logged into sun host again, and entered: xauth remove localhost:10.0 [not del] Then I started the graphical application, and I still get the following error: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Any hints ?

Then I start the graphical application in the Sun host, and I get the following error message: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). So I checked the DISPLAY variable, and as it was set to 'localhost:10.0', I changed it to 'a.b.c.d:10.0', and restarted the application in the Sun host. Guess what? localhost:10.0 was all right and a.b.c.d:10.0 is wrong. There may be some older authentication info left. Maybe this helps: $ xauth del localhost:10.0 bye ago

Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
Hello again, I have no .Xauthority in $HOME in my PC. I logged into the Sun host using: ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] removed .Xauthority in $HOME there, logged out logged in again. When I started the graphical application in the Sun host, I received the following error: *** OI_init: Error, cannot connect to X server ntc: couldn't open a connection to a X server So, I checked that there still is no .Xauthority in $HOME in the Sun host, logged out, and logged in using: $ DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I received the following message: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

Cannot access Sun server via VNC
Hello X users, I have just installed XFree, and I can access a Sun server using: XWin.exe -query host When I try to access another Sun server using Cisco VPN, only X window is shown, but I do not get any login window from the server. Is it possible to access a Sun server using VPN ? Regards, Marek

Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
Hello X users, I access a Sun server using: XWin.exe -query sun-host I login, and start an application in the Sun server correctly. When I start xterm using startxwin.bat, and then I start xterm to a Sun server using: xterm -e /bin/telnet sun-host I get a new xterm window from the Sun server, and I login to the Sun server correctly. Then I start a graphical application in the Sun server, and I get the following error: *** OI_init: Error, cannot connect to X server ntc: couldn't open a connection to a X server What have I missed ?

Hello Alexander, Thank you very much for your reply.

RSA key fingerprint is x:y:z:... . Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'borsen1,a.b.c.d' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
Hello again, Following your reply below, I created an userid in the Sun server, and entered: xterm -e ssh -Y sun-host In order to test the graphical aplication in the Sun server, I closed both X windows, entered startxwin.bat in a DOS window, and entered in the first X window: xterm -e ssh -Y userid@sun-host sun-host Then I replied to the password request, and the X window from the Sun server just closed. I have also tried: xterm -e ssh userid@sun-host -Y sun-host replied to the password request, and the X window from the Sun server closed too. Any hints ?

Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
Hi, When I enter in the PC window: ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get a request for password, and I am logged into the Sun host. Then I start the graphical application in the Sun host, and I get the following error message: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

So I checked the DISPLAY variable, and as it was set to 'localhost:10.0', I changed it to 'a.b.c.d:10.0', and restarted the application in the Sun host. A while later, I got the following error message: *** OI_init: Error, cannot connect to X server ntc: couldn't open a connection to a X server ntc is the name of the graphical application. As far as I understand, ntc cannot connect to a X server. Any hints ?

You should try starting ssh from the cygwin prompt first. This will keep the error message. open cygwin prompt $ ssh userid@sun-host -Y sun-host Oops this should be $ ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] or like mentioned above $ ssh -Y -l userid sun-host bye ago
