+===========================================================================+ | Example of the installation of dec$transport_cmu of CMU-TEK V6.4 90.08.22 | +===========================================================================+ 1. Copy DECW$TRANSPORT_CMU.exe to sys$common:[syslib]decw$transport_cmu.exe ( Note: Although the change of $ to _ is required (see 5.3 upgrade and installation procedures section 10.4, p.10-)7, I didn't do so. But it works) You can get it via anonymous FTP from: HAL.CC.CMU.EDU (128.2.232.20) user name is "ANONYMOUS" password is some sort of self identification. remember to set type to IMAGE when fetching .EXE files remember to get structure to PAGE when fetching Save Sets. (.SRC file) 2. Set protect on the file as -- S:rwed,O:rwed,g:rwed,w:re 2.1 Copy IPACP064.EXE from HAL.CC.CMU.EDU and rename it as IPACP.EXE and placed it in the proper directory.) 3. Add a following record in sys$manager:systartup_v5.com $install create sys$share:decw$transport_cmu.exe /open/share/header/prot 4. Customize decw$private_server_setup.com to have the following line: decw$server_transports == "DECNET,LOCAL,LAT,CMU" Eg. Copy decw$private_server_setup.template to *.com in Sys$common:[sysmgr] directory and add one record as follows; $do_default: >>> $ decw$server_transports == "DECNET,LOCAL,LAT,CMU" $ exit 5. Reboot workstation 6. Security Entry on VAX/VMS+CMU If you are using VAX/Station(VMS+CMU) and you want create a windown on the VAX/Station (i.e. you want to use it as "server"), it is required to customize security by adding as "authorized user" the CMU transport for the users and machines desired. (Select security in the setup menubar of VAX/Station and add following entry NODE: IP-address or domain-name (Eg. 134.160.1.1) USER nam ? or * (Eg. *) Transport: CMU (Eg. CMU) If you want use your VAX only as a client or your VAX is not workstation, it is not necessary to define the security entry. 6.1 Security entry on UNIX workstation (eg. SUN + X11 Release 4) If you want to communicate with a UNIX workstation running X11R4, it is also required to define the security entry of the hostname on the UNIX. There are two ways to define the security entry (1) Write hostname in /etc/X*.hosts file. (* is display number) (2) Define hostname by "xhost" command. (this works only in the local terminal. This does not work on the telneted terminal) You can get more information by "man X" and "man xhost" command in UNIX. X11 Release 4 entire kit and its patch are available for anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu in pub/R4 directory 7. Then you can create a X-window from UNIX or on UNIX Eg. 1 (create a X-terminal on VAX/Station from SUN [SUN OS 4.0.3+X11R4] ) (% xhost hostname (authorize hostname, see 6.1)) % setenv DISPLAY hostname:0 (defile display) % xterm & (Create a X-terminal of sun on VAX/VMS) Eg. 2 (create a DEC-terminal on SUN from VAX/Station) $ set disp/cre/node="hostname"/tran=CMU $ cre/term/det PS: And another one of Bruce's unsolicited tips: (Following is applied only for X11-server [i.e. VAX/Station] ) After you bring up the transport with DECWindows, do a NETSTAT to see if the transport was initialized to wait for incoming connections. You should see a TCP port at port 6000 in the LISTEN state. If not, you've done something wrong. Example $ netstat 1 TCP connection found IDX Address Local Host Port Foreign Host Port State 2 0004C188 0.0.0.0 23.112 0.0.0.0 0.0 LISTEN 0 UDP connections found $ Best Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------- Takashi Ichihara RIKEN (The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research)
