Problems with dtlogin and XDMCP
Hi;
I am trying to connect to my Solaris 9 box using XDMCP and I am having various degress of sucess. Before I go on I should add that using the same X server as a client on the same remote machine I was able to connect to various other AIX and HP-UX boxes.
The server in question does not run any kind of local display. Therefore, as advised in this article:
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/802-6486/6ia6232c5?a=view
I have copied the /usr/dt/Xservers to /etc/dt/config/Xservers (incidentally I had to create the dt and config directories under /etc even though the documentation implies they already exist). I then edited the file to comment out the:
:0 Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0
line. Of course everything was sent a -HUP after the config files were edited.
Despite this, when I attempt to connect to the machine using `-query machine1` I get a back screen with an egg timer and little else. After a while the connection times out.
On the Solaris box I get another dtlogin spawned to listen for more connections, along with an instance of `dtgreet -display mypc:0` for the machine connecting to it. Forward and reverse name resolution are working correctly for both machines.
Within the /var/dt/Xerrors file I get the following error messages:
/usr/openwin/bin/xset: bad font path element (#58), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax

error (pid 777): display mypc:0 could not be initialized, server may be grabbed.
I am now at a complete and utter loss and would very much appreciate any comments or suggestions anyone has. Many thanks: Sam.
