I'm trying to run motif on a VMS workstation. That is I want to run mwm off a Ultrix machine, so that it controls the windows on a VMS system. Both the VMS system and the ULTRIX system have decnet. To run the system we have tried: 1) change protection on the VMS system to *::* under the session manager. 2) set host to the ULTRIX machine. 3) setenv DISPLAY to <nodename>::0.0 4) /usr/bin/X11/mwm This results in the "X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display" message. Can anyone help solve this problem? Thanks in advance. Bruce.

You must tell the server that the host that the client is running on is allowed to access the display. On Unix (Ultrix) systems the name of the command to do this is "xhost +<nodename>". On VMS, who knows? regards, fletcher Fletcher E. Kittredge fkittred@bbn.com

You might want to try setting the protrection on the VMS system to machine_name::ultrix-uid-number For example, my machine is "croton", and my uid is "frank" (which is 268 on croton). I would use croton::268 This has worked for me in the past. Regards, Frank
