[comp.sys.mac.system] MacX1.1

pjd2@po.CWRU.Edu (Pedro J. Diaz) (04/26/91)

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.

 MacX uses rexecd to make connections to client programs. If you are having 
trouble, it is probably due to a permissions problem (check the .rhosts file).

rexecd does not look at the .rhosts file. The rexec program uses the .netrc,
but there is no file for the daemon.
