The new font-update script is mising the line to generate them. I'm not sure if they are really needed. I'm updating the script but I want to know if the encodings.dir files are really required. I noticed this. I assume that's why my xfontsel stopped working suddenly. please try: mkfontscale -n -e /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings \ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi \ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi \ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc \ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF \ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 does this help to start xfontsel again? bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
Re: Remote logon via XDMCP to Solaris and Linux
On Windows: startxin /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost remote_solaris_host rlogin remote_host setenv DISPLAY local_win_ip xtermamp; The problem is with the value you set DISPLAY to. You want to use the IP address associated with the far end of the VPN. Figuring out that value isn't always easy. Sometimes you can run who at the far end and it will tell you the hostname or IP address it thinks you're connecting from. Also, sometimes the VPN software itself will tell you the far-end IP address if you look at the detailed log as it's bringing up the VPN. _ Dont just search. Find.

Re: Remote logon via XDMCP to Solaris and Linux
One more thing on this subject... If you absolutely cannot figure out what your IP address is at the far-end of the VPN, then you might want to consider running dxpc. The original intent of dcpx was to compress the amount of data transferred between remote X-clients and a local X-server connected via a low-bandwidth connection. However, it has a feature which allows you to setup the connection if you only know the IP address of the machine your connecting to (and don't know the IP address of the machine you're connecting from, which is effectively the case here). I found a pretty good treatment of dcpx here: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=2374 _ Is your PC infected?

I run ipconfig on the local Windows PC, which give me the current IP (delievered from dhcp). Isn't that correct value to use? Terje J. Hanssen
Hosts and X0.hosts
1. Hosts - I have used C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts for a long time on a Windows 2000 terminal server. But for some or another reason the Hosts file suddenly is being deleted from the system, and again as soon as I recreate it. I have tried to limit the file access to system administrator only without succeed. And I haven't found out yet if there can be or have been installed some kind of antivirus or spyware program that detects the Hosts file as a virus file and cause that it is being deleted. a) Has someone experienced this before or any idea to solve it? I saw that C:\cygwin\etc\Hosts was a link to the above Hosts file. Because of the above problem, I replaced the link with the real Hosts file itself. Now I try to create a remote connection from a cygwin/X xterm using the following procedure: startxwin.bat xterm X :2 -query remote_hostname The system reports and exit the command in the xterm as follows. Fatal server error: Xserver: -query unknown host: remote_hostname b) Doesn't Cygwin/X read this latter Hosts file? 2. X0.hosts To let queried remote xdm/dtlogin/gdm/kdm get access to the local Cygwin X server, I wonder if the syntax for the content in C:/cygwin/etc/X0.hosts should be remote_hostname only or remote_hostname +, alternatively remote_host_ip only or remote_host_ip +?

Does Cygwin/X also need or use a user based auhentication? rlogin remote_host setenv DISPLAY local_win_ip setenv DISPLAY local_win_ip:0.0 I wonder why sometimes :0.0 is needed and other times not? xterm 2) An additonal question: 'xstartxwin.bat' open a small X window with small fonts. How and where is it possible to get larger fonts, possibly by using a configuration file for this startup? man xterm (see -fn and -fa option) xterm -fn 12x24 But is it possible to configure the default startup of startxwin.bat and xterm from the program start menu? Thanks, Terje J. Hanssen

Add a shortcut to startxwin.bat to the Start menu, and customize your own .bash_profile / .bashrc (assuming your shell is bash). If you really want to, you can obviously also edit startxwin.bat. -JT
