To the admin type persons...
The end user is going to give a demo of his work on a standalone workstation. I
added a disk drive to his existing workstation so he could copy all the data
required for the demo to this drive. I then placed an entry for this user in the
password file (before NIS) and placed his $HOME in the demo directory. AFter
logging on as the "local" user, xhost +hostname fails. xhost +localhost fails,
xhost + fails. Comment out the local user and log on again, (resolved via NIS
and NFS mounts $HOME), we have no problems with the xhost command. We need this
command to be successful in order to run the demo.
I first copied over his dot files to the local desktop to keep the same look and
feel. I then removed those dot files and let CDE recreate them including the
Xauthority. However still no luck. I tried /etc/X0.hosts. I tried
/usr/dt/config/Xsession.
Is there a switch similiar to openwindows that allows me to start CDE with
noauth? What else can I do to override this temporarily?
Thanks
