Is there any way to run clients on the 386 && have them use my Sun as the display? Frankly, it seems that all ISC X11 will talk to is another 386 and only then if it's running certain hardware. Can I do this with another X11 package ? I mean, the _whole_ _point_ is portability, right? Sign me disappointed with ISC, the wharf rat ps - I contacted ISC about the csh (nfs_read: etc.) problem. They've never heard of it... :-)

I posted a question about using ISC X11. I'm getting lots of
"I do it all the time" ' s. Maybe my question wasn't clear, because *I*
don't see how it's possible at all :-)
I am working on a Sun. I want to rlogin to a 386 and run, say,
xsol. When I open my window && get logged in, if DISPLAY is set to
unix:0 I this:
XIO: fatal IO error 77 on X server "??": Not a data message
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
If I set display to "rambler:0" - rambler is my workstation - I get:
Client is not authorized to connect to Server
The 386 knows about rambler; rlogin, etc. works just fine.
I tried playing with the permissions stuff ISC provides via sysadm,
to no avail. I looked at configuring a new display, also via sysadm, but
they provide a limited and mandatory selection of hardware they will allow
you to configure for, and it's all PC stuff. My feeling is that what I'm
trying to do, i.e., treat the 386 like it was any other box hanging of my
Ethernet and run x* on it and have it talk to the display on my Sun is
not possible, since it seems to require a different server for each
hardware configuration and Sun is not one of those offered.
Do y'all _really_ "do it all the time" ??? :-)

I asked him to fax me the problem and I would check to see if it was known. I haven't heard of the exact issue he had, but I would check on it. This doesn't mean that it was not known; it means that I wasn't familiar with it personally. I have checked on the issue and it is known bug. The bug numbers associated with nfs/csh issues are #28075 and #28144. Thanks for the reports on this problem. Marty Stewart Manager, Customer Support

Rlogin et. all are different tools from X. The X server has its own validation requrements (if it wasn't this way, anybody on any system could connect to your server and do whatever they wish). > I tried playing with the permissions stuff ISC provides via sysadm, >to no avail.

Ok, Ok, in the (too kind :-) words of someone from ISC (out of the many someones who responded :-) I was a little confused about who needed permissions where... See, I never bothered with xhosts on the suns, since of course they all *share* that stuff and it works by default. When I got complaints about permissions on the 386, I fixated on the idea that the problem was *on* the 386, when of course it was on the sun I was connecting too (from?). Using xhost on the sun made the error go away. Thanks very much to everyone who responded. I *had* RTFM, I just didn't quite UNDERSTAND TFM... "sometimes the light's all shinin' on me, other times I can barely see..."

Maybe this is a dumb followup response, but ..... try using: $ xhost + to allow all hosts to connect to your box through X....
