Managers,
Thanks for the many answers, as I thought my issues were very basic:
Anyway, I never did get the xon command to work. I believe the users .chsrc file is causing problems.
What did work is to follow the below simple steps:
From the HP (i.e. where we want the application to display):
open an xterm session and enter the following commands:
xhost + Alpha (Give the alpha access to the HPs display)
telnet Alpha
setenv DISPLAY HP:0.0
/usr/bin/X11/xclock
All very simple, once you see what is required.
Thanks again
Greg Freemyer
Original Question below:
I believe this is simple, I don't use X very often. I did try to look in the archives, but there is so much related X-windows it is hard to find anything in the clutter.
Anyway:
One of my users is trying to run the 'xon' command on a HP machine, and use a Alpha Tru64 machine to serve the application.
He is getting a 'permission denied' response.
The user has a valid login on both machines and can run the application directly on the Alpha.
Also we have some Exceed emulators on PCs which use XDM to create a full X-login. They also can run the application.
Can anyone tell me what I need to check to get this working from the HP? (xon is not required in the equation, just the ability to run the application from the HP's monitor.)
