hi,all,
i aborted the consideration of display sun xwindow on win2k windows.think
that,display it on RedHat 7.1 more reasonable.
so i must export the sun environment
varable:DISPLAY=10.100.143.30:0.0(RedHat machine IP),then execute
command:/usr/openwin/bin/xhost +10.100.143.30(RedHat machine IP).but,at
this,the sun server said:

Xlib:connection to "10.100.143.30:0.0" refused by server
Xlib:client is not authorized to connect to server
/usr/openwin/bin/xhost:unable to open display "10.100.143.30:0.0"

i don`t know which files i must config first for authorization,in order to
admit accessing.
pls tell me the method.

thanks a lot.

this was a few years back but what i remember having to do initially was
telnet to the host box and type xhost (as root) and also do a setenv for the
remote machine i think it was
setenv DISPLAY 192.168.0.1:0
 where the ip is the ip of the remote client. this was when i was using
solaris 2.5.1 but i highly doubt its changed since.

How about using XDMCP?
From Redhat, grab a root console and type in:

        X :1 -depth 16 -query <host>

[ ToZ ]

that won't work. and the reason it won't work is because its his sun box
that's refusing the connection not his linux one. this will work on windows.
i used it for 2 years this way. i noticed there isn't an xhost command
anymore but in CDE there was a GUI front end for it (i don't use the GUI
anymore and haven't for a long time but after an initial install before i
remove the keyboard/monitor/mouse i set up the initial accounts via the gui
front end to useradd and poke around to see if anything's changed in cde or
openwin)

anyway the long and the short of it are he has to do two things
1. make solaris allow exported xsessions
2. tell it where to export it to

xhost appears to be gone but setenv isn't. i did this in a cshell

You run the xhost command on the RedHat box to allow the Sun machine to
display on it (specify the address of the sun machine).  For more
details and more secure methods, see:

on RedHat:
   xhost +sun_box

on Sun Box
   x_program -display redhat:0.0

or
   DISPLAY=redhat:0.0
   export DISPLAY
   x_program

that's where i got xhost from. had forgotten. must not have been on solaris.
but i don't think i was using linux i am pretty sure i was using freebsd
because i never really liked linux. like i said though. its been a really
long time since i've had to do it.

|that's where i got xhost from. had forgotten. must not have been on solaris.

Why not on Solaris?  xhost is available on just about any system with
X Windows, including Solaris.  You just have to remember it controls
who can use your screen/read your keyboard, so you have to run it on
the system with the screen/keyboard.  (It wouldn't be very useful
security if any other computer in the world could simply say "I'm going
to take your keyboard input now, hopefully you'll type in some nice
secret information or passwords soon.")

dude I know you got a lot posts about this but the quick real way to do this
is type
xhost + machinename

type

xhost +

just for testing purposes - realize this is rather insecure, but good enough for
now.

On your RH box type

Xnest :10 -query w.x.y.z &

where the w.x.y.z is the ip of the sun..
