xhost help

[MCubitt]

My AIX server /etc/hosts has:
127.0.0.1 loopback localhost # loopback (lo0) name/address
10.56.4.10 OURSERVER
10.56.57.14 5R2RH0J.mycomp.local

I telnet from my windows pc (10.56.57.14) to the aix server (10.56.4.10) and log in as root

I su to oracle

Then export DISPLAY=10.56.57.14:0.0

Then dbca

java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using '10.56.57.14:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

Do I need to do something more to get things going?

you need an X-Server at your PC.

If you don't have Exceed on your workstation, then download putty.

 

[mikri]

or try cygwin/X, its free

I am using putty as my telent session, on my Windows PC.

Can you ping 10.56.57.14 from the AIX server?

 

[MCubitt]

KHz: Yes indeed, it does.

I think you can't use telnet for X11 Forwarding.
You have to use ssh.

Oh dear, thanks.

All I want to do is run dbca from a remote session!!!

On your AIX server as root, type: xhost +

 

[MCubitt]

Ok, this sounds familiar.

However:
# xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
1346-217 xhost: must be on local machine to enable or disable access control

Does this a GOOD thing or a BAD thing?!!!

bash-2.05a$ dbca
java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using '10.56.57.14:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

But i did this over a vnc session, so I expect I have to go to the server since I am usig :2 not :0

Is that right?

I tried it from the server itself, no error but still no workie.
