Hello,
Xdm will does the Xauthority setup well. The problem (as usual) is dxsession.
If you use DEC dxsession it will add the host you logged in and all other
hosts you defined in the 'Security' item in the 'option' menu. tk refuses to
accept 'send' commands when hosts are added and therefore exmh-bg could not
communicate with emxh. As a workaround (IMHO don't use dxsession) you could
start emxh in a script like that:
xhost - >/dev/null
for host in `xhost | tail +2`; do
xhost -$host
done
echo "startup EXMH ..."
exec exmh -geometry +300+0 -iconic
Note: OSF/1's xhost could not remove DECnet or LAT host/user entries.
You have to remove them with dxsession. (Has someone an xhost that know's
about DECNET/LAT????)
If you are using MH (V6.7) as delivered by DEC you may find also this patch
useful:

Better to upgrade to MH 6.8.3.
Hope this helps,
Achim
