I am attempting via a VAXstation 3100 running VMS DECwindows server to have a SUN client (program=ico) display window on the VS 3100. I have setenv DISPLAY vaxnodename:0 and xhost +vaxnodename on the SUN and on the vax session manager customized security for CMU sunnode for user *, and for good measure also TCPIP sunnode *. This should authorize the sunnode to put a window on the vax as far as I know. I have no problem with other vms vaxen putting windows up on this VS. When on the SUN I give the command "ico -display vaxnode:0 the response is "access denied by server". It clearly sounds like the security access permission by the vax is not working. As further evidence, if I run a small program on the vax that calls the X function, XDisableAccessControl(display), and then run ico on the SUN, it displays as it should on the Vax! Our transport is CMU tcpip, which works fine between vaxen and with vax client on sun server. It is only sun client - vax server that is causing the problem. Knowing DEC's passion for security, it is hard to believe that they intend for one to have to disable access control to enable putting up a window. The SUN has X11R4 installed, DECwindows is X11R3 (vms5.3-1). Is there a site that has successfully had SUN clients display on a VMS vax server? What is the secret? What am I doing incorrectly? ======================================================================= W.
