Aix

Hey,

I'm running AIX on a RS6000 (Yeah I know old as me Smilie ) and also running a Solaris 8 Ultra 60 box. I need to use the RS600 as a xterm machine to display crap from the ultra 60. (Both have dual displays)

But for some reason it wont let me.

On the ultra 60 i'll type

setenv DISPLAY 64.1.153.1:0.0

then to test it works

xterm &

Now that should pop up a xterm on the 64.1.153.1 screen on the bottom one (x.x.x.x:0.0). But this wont happen, the error I get is.

Xlib: connection to "64.1.153.1:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server
xterm Xt: Can't open display "64.1.153.1:0.0"

I get the same error no matter what machine I'm on either it be the RS600 or the ultra 60.

Does anyone have any idea's on how I can fix this problem?

You need to grant the ultra60 permission to pop windows on to your display (since you don't want just anybody to be able to control your screen). Try "xhost +ultra60" on the AIX box -- substitute the appropriate hostname or IP address of the Sun.

"xhost -ultra60" will remove permission.
"xhost" with no arguments displays which machines are allowed to connect.
