OK. With these patches I can start the User Interface (ui) but as I don't have inetd running I can't rsh from localhost to localhost to start the server.
I can work around this by (http://www.opendx.org/started.html) dx -uionly & dx -execonly& to start the ui and server seperately. Then I try to connect to the ui to the server - select "Connection - start server" from ui menu - select "options" and connect to existing server and then connect The server sees this and responds with "server: accepted connection from client" then fails with "ExHostToFQDN failed" Looks like some sort of DNS lookup error or similar, so it may be specific to my configuration. I saw that the version Suhaib distributed had its own private rsh.exe. It may have avoided the rsh problems above by avoiding all the network stuff. -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 24 May 2002 2:42 To: Billinghurst, David (CRTS) Subject: RE: New package for testing: OpenDX Okay, I'll hold off.
