$ Xephyr :20 -ac -screen 950x540

Parameters:

  • :20 - the DISPLAY variable is set to :20
  • -ac - no access control to the X-Server
  • -screen - the dimensions of the X-display (example only)

For more information refer to the man-pages of your Linux system.

2Start an xterm inside Xephyr and create a SSH connection to HP-UX.

$ xterm -display :20  \
   -e ssh -Yf <user@hp-ux-ip-address> /usr/dt/bin/Xsession

3Wait for the password prompt inside the xterm window and enter the password for the HP-UX user.
4An X-Session for the user will open in the Xephyr window.

StepDescription
1Create a system-specific copy of the Xconfig file# cp /usr/dt/config/Xconfig /etc/dt/config/Xconfig
2Enable XDMCP.

Edit the file:

# vi etcvi /etc/dt/config/Xconfig

Locate the following line and insert a comment character, '#', at the beginning of the line.
        Dtlogin.requestPort: 0

Save the file.

3Restart the X-server.

# /etc/init.d/dtlogin restart

(If there is no dtlogin file in /etc/init.d, you first have to run
        /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e )

...


StepCommand
1Include the CDE fonts in the fontserver's catalog.

Use a text editor to open the file

/etc/X11/fs/config

If not already there, append

,/usr/dt/config/xfonts/C

to the end of the line beginning with

catalogue =

2Enable the automatic start of the fontserver at boot.

Use a text editor to open the file

/etc/rc.config.d/xfs

If not already set, set the following variable to 1:

RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1

3(Re)start the fontserver.

# /sbin/init.d/xfs stop

# /sbin/init.d/xfs start

4Test if the fontserver responds to queries.

Enter the following command on the system running the X-Server:

$ fslsfonts -server 192.168.2.88<font-server-ip>:7000 -fn '-dt*' | head

This should produce output similar to the following:
