[comp.unix.ultrix] Help with YP and DECwindows

kays@gtenmc.UUCP (Eugene D. Kays) (07/26/90)

Greetings Netland - 

I'm having a problem with DECwindows on a YP client.

VAXstation 3100 Model 40 set up running NFS and YP.  NFS filesystems are
working correctly.  YP seems to be working OK as well.  

You can rlogin to this system using a login and password being fetched from 
the YP server and everything is fine.  Logging in at the console has problems.

The user logs on, the Icon box appears, the Message box appears, dxterm
tries to start and then the screen clears and the system re-displays the
login panel.  ID's which are local to the system work fine, this happens
only when the ID and password are being fetched from the YP master.

This is the content of /tmp/sm_pid.errs for some failures :

X Protocol error detected by server:
Failed request major op code 192
Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable)
ResourceID 0x0 in failed request (if applicable)
Serial number of failed request 0
Current serial number in output stream 2

The most common message is as follows :

Connection # 3 to server broken.
XIO: Broken pipe


What have I overlooked?  Any help is welcome.  Please post replies or
direct e-mail.

Thanks in advance,
Gene
