- We have a tcpip network consisting of some hp9000 s700 and NeXT-computers
- (also running X11).
- On the i386/387 (old chips) we are running linux-0.98 with tcpip-sockets,
- telnet and telnetd are from tcpip-0.81.
- If I am connected via telnet to one of the hp-stations it's no problem to
- run X11-clients under the linux Xserver. Everything shows the expected
- behavior.
- But the other way round after telnetting from a hp-station to the linux box
- does not work. Every client started under linux produces an Errormessage at
- the hp-station:
-
- XIO: fatal IO error 22 (Invalid argument) on X server "131.188.134.4:0.0"
- after 44 requests (41 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
-
- DISPLAY variable is propperly set and access to the Xserver at hp-site is
- also set in the right manner (with xhost). The same error happens if I try
- to run a linux-client form on of the NeXT-stations.
-
- Any help?
-
- BTW: If there is asked for a password through login-procedure the connection
- "hangs". A user without any password has no problems to connect to the linux-
- box. But if you force another demand for a password (for example via su), the
- connection hangs again. Escaping with '^]' works. It seems that is has
- something to do with the hidden characters which are (not) displayed while
- typing the passwd.
