When running client applications on an ATT box uner SYSV, the clients are looking for a file called Xconnections. THis file is supposed to have the server name, a node id, and a net id according to source code. Might anyone know what values ought to be put in that file?? Thanks Jack

Given that we have /dev/tcpip /usr/X/lib/net/tcpip/nameserver /usr/X/lib/Xconnections /usr/X/lib/xdaemon our /usr/lib/X/Xconnections looks like * * tcpip which tells the client that for all displays on all nodes, open the clone device /dev/tcpip and ask xdaemon for an address on net tcpip, which it will do by exec'ing the nameserver in /usr/X/lib/net/tcpip. If you have multiple nets (say Starlan and TCP/IP), the file is more complicated, since you need to put in specific information saying which displays are on which nodes, and which nets those nodes are on. If you have Interlan networking, try "it" in place of tcpip; for Wollongong, use "tcp."
