Hello,
I have two computers set up:
1) Linux on a Pentium/75
2) NetBSD/macppc 1.4.1 on a Performa 6400
The Performa 6400 right now is running off of a serial console, and so,
isn't at all good for running an X server on. However, the Linux computer
is configured well for X servers. What I want to do is run two X servers
on my Linux computer: one normal one whenever I type 'startx' that goes to
:0 and another one that runs via xdm on my NetBSD/macppc computer.
What I did was:
1) Set up /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers to remove the local client and
add the foreign client:
nucleus:1 foreign
2) Start X on the linux computer:
X :1
3) Let the NetBSD/macppc computer run an xdm on it:
xhost +positron
4) Start up xdm on the NetBSD/macppc computer.
xdm
What happened:
On the Linux box, I got a whole bunch of messages like:
AUDIT: Sun Mar 12 21:03:08 2000: 18475 X: client 1 rejected from IP
192.168.0.10 port 65494
And on the NetBSD computer, I get many
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61
As well as the occasional:
xdm error (pid 334): server open failed for nucleus:1, giving up
xdm error (pid 329): Display nucleus:1 cannot be opened
Xlib: connection to "nucleus:1.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server
How is this properly set up? Should I be running xdm on both my Linux
host and my NetBSD/macppc and linking the two? Help, please!
Thanks in advance,
