Does anyone know how Mac X1.1 makes a connection to the client?? I am unable use MacX's remote command facility in order to connect to a system running System V.3, X11R3. The client does not allow a connection to be made. I have no problem at all connecting with a system running SunOs. Any ideas??? Pedro P.S. I AM able to telnet to the V.3 client, and run an xterm back to the Mac (under MacOS). It is in having MacX initiate the remote command that everything gets hosed. -- Pedro J.

MacX uses rexec to run a command on a remote machine. Rexecd is a BSD program and as such was incorporated into SunOS. Rexec works much like rsh except that instead of reading .rhosts on the remote machine, a username/password combination is sent to the remote machine. It is likely that the System V machines does not have rexecd or, if you're lucky, it's just not running. If you're good with writing TCP servers on the System V machine, you could port rexecd. The source should be available from Berkeley. Steve
