Greetings:
I'm running DUNIX V4.0d with all patches on an Alpha 1200. We are,
for the first time ever, attempting to get an XWindows session
enabled from our Win95 PCs. We're using Hummingbird Exceed.
I see in the /etc/securettys file this comment:
# Note: Each entry in this file represents a device (secure device)
# from which root login is permitted. For, pseudo ttys (ptys) a
# single keyword entry "ptys" means all ptys are to be treated as
being
# secure. Note that the entry is "ptys" and not prefixed by /dev
# as is customary for the other physical devices. The absence of
# this key word implies that root login will not be permitted from
# all ptys. X displays are indicated with the display name.
I've set it up so that 'root' can login from anywhere by placing
the 'ptys' entry at the end. This is working fine and is what we
want. This however only allows root to login as a character-cell
terminal.
How do I determine the correct 'display name' (as indicated by the
last comment line above) to allow 'root' access with Xwindows? Are
there any other hints or kinks I should be aware of? Our final
goal is to allow all the users to access this system via Xwindows.
Thanks.
Larry
