Re: Xwin, XDM and Solaris

["Eli Kleinman - IT Dept." <elik at bhphotovideo dot com>]

try using this

set DISPLAY=127.0.0.1
start /B xwin -ac -noreset -screen 0 1152 864 -query "Host_ip_address" -fp 
tcp/host_ip_address:7100 -from my_local_ip_address &

also make sure on the solaris box in /etc/inetd.conf that you have not comment 
out the line (this is for your fonts)

fs              stream  tcp     wait nobody /usr/openwin/lib/fs.auto    fs

hope this helps
Eli
