Operating Systems AIX How to enable XDMCP? Post 302181559 by prichard on Thursday 3rd of April 2008 10:28:23 AM

You would have to have an X session running on the AIX box for xhost + to work.
For example, when I ssh from my linux box to my AIX box and run xhost + I get the same error you get: 1356-200 xhost unable to open display ""

But when I login in to the AIX box via xdmcp, open a dtterm and enter "xhost +" I get the message "access control disabled, clients can connect from any host".

This means that xhost must be run from the machine with the display connection.

NAME
gdmXnestchooser, gdmXnest - run an XDMCP chooser SYNOPSIS
gdmXnestchooser [--background] [--broadcast] [--direct] [--no-gdm-check] [--no-query] [--xnest-extra-options=options] [--xnest=string] [gnome-std-options] hostname DESCRIPTION
gdmXnestchooser automatically gets the correct display number, sets up access, and runs Xnest with -indirect localhost. This ensures that you get an XDMCP chooser that is provided by your machine. You can also specify the hostname whose chooser should be displayed, so that gdmXnestchooser somehost runs the XDMCP chooser from host somehost inside an Xnest. gdmXnest is a symbolic link to gdmXnestchooser and is the same as running gdmXnestchooser with the --no-query and --no-gdm-check options. gdmXnest is useful for running Xnest without actually connecting somewhere. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -b, --background Run in the background. -B, --broadcast Run broadcast instead of indirect (chooser). -d, --direct Do direct query instead of indirect (chooser). --no-gdm-check Do not check for running GDM. -n, --no-query Just run Xnest, no query (no chooser). -o, --xnest-extra-options=options Extra options for Xnest. The default is no options. -x, --xnest=string Xnest command line. The default value is Xnest. gnome-std-options Standard options available for use with most GNOME applications. See gnome-std-options(5) for more information. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: hostname Hostname whose chooser should be displayed. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Running the XDMCP Chooser From Host somehost Inside an Xnest example% gdmXnestchooser somehost Example 2: Connecting to somehost Directly Run example% gdmXnestchooser -d somehost FILES
The following files are used by this application: /usr/bin/gdmXnestchooser Executable to run an XDMCP chooser ATTRIBUTES
