362.0. "Windows on hidden nodes" by CUCKOO::SPENCER () Thu Jul 05 1990 14:07

Hi Guys,

how do I go about creating a window from a node outside my area onto my 
workstation which is a hidden node?

    Nigel,
    
    Dunno if this'll work but...
    
    when you stick the /node qualifer in try:
    
    	/NODE=bootserver::workstation::

    To get a process to talk to your DECwindow use the -
    
       $ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=<your node>/TRANS=DECNET
    
    Also make sure you allow the remote process to access your system by
    adding a definition with the Security option of the Customize menu.

This is from an ultrix system, not a vms one.

-dxterm -d -ls node::0.0 &

There is a bug with vms DECwindows that means you have to add your user number
(or whatever its called on unix) to the destination nodes security for some
operations; so add this and user name.

ps cat /etc/passwd to find your user number.

(Spencer is 273)

Actually it's

% dxterm -ls -d node::0.0 &

The -ls means Login Shell and the -d is short for display.

You could also do a

% setenv DISPLAY node::0.0  (equiv to set display/create/node=)

and forget the -d.

%/usr/bin/X11/xman

(case sensitive) will give xwindows manual

%man <section>

gives manual pages

%apropos <section>

searches for entries

Remember you need to add BACK::spencer and BACK::273 into the security
option on the customise pulldown off the sesseion manager on GALVIN.
