Hi, we are running NeWS 1.1 on SUNs. I have been trying to produce output on a remote server to no avail ! I have followed the procedure in the Sun NeWS manual; setenv NEWSSERVER `setnewshost xxxx` say -b"Hi" Hi where xxxx is the id of the Sun running the server. I get the following message on the server Network security violation: Rejected connection from yyyy where yyyy is the id of the mechine originating the message. I am new to NeWS so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance -- Richard Cole colers@prl.philips.co.uk

To make machine yyyy a trusted host, you must execute the command newshost add yyyy on machine xxxx. There are other options besides "add" to the newshost program; read the man page (in $NEWSHOME/man/{man1,cat1}newshost.1) for details. -- Rich

(Even though the NeWS 1.1 manual is pretty deficient). The command "newshost" is used to allow remote NeWS servers to connect to a given workstation. If you were on machine salt, to let machine pepper pop up NeWS windows remotely you would say: salt% newshost add pepper Also setting the systemdict entry /NetSecurityWanted to false will disable network security. Does anyone know what newshost enable and disable do? They are not described on the newshost manual page. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew S.

You can also put the line: /NetSecurityWanted false store in your user.ps file on the server. That lets anyone access the server. -Bruce
