| 545.1 | Did you *give* someone access? | MRFLEX::MILLER | Bush For President...Kate Bush! | Wed Apr 05 1989 21:08 | 16 |

-< xphoon/security concern >-
Brad,
Do you have either SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_ALLOWED.DAT or
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_TRUSTED.DAT on your workstation? If so,
these files are read for security access in the absence of your
session manager. Whatever transport protocol/node/accounts in that
file will have connection access to your server process and * * * gives
anybody access.
Regards,

| 545.2 | Nope and nope. | TLE::DANIELS | Brad Daniels, VAX C RTL whipping boy | Fri Apr 07 1989 10:55 | 8 |
| Re .1
I just checked. Neither file exists on my system. BTW - where is some
documentation on how those files are used? As I said, I liked the way xphoon
looked on my login screen, and would like to set it up.

| 545.3 | Don't think it's in a book (unsupported) but... | MRFLEX::MILLER | Bush For President...Kate Bush! | Fri Apr 07 1989 11:40 | 6 |
| Check out notes 445.* for an idea of the format/purpose.

| 545.4 | me too | WATERS::LEVINE | it's turtles all the way down | Sat Apr 08 1989 17:06 | 9 |
| I recently starting running my DECwindows applications as detached
processes, rather than as subprocesses of the session manager. The
other day, after quitting the session and restarting it, I noticed that
the Xphoon started in the previous session was still there. Is there
something different about Xphoon that keeps it from getting blown away
when the session ends?

| 545.5 | Maybe a dumb question, but... | MCNALY::MILLER | Bush For President...Kate Bush! | Sun Apr 09 1989 16:37 | 15 |
| Are y'all *sure* XPHOON is still running? If memory serves me right,
XPHOON draws a bitmap to the root window, and thereafter the server
deals with expose events. There are no clients required to maintain
the image. The XPHOON client is around to *rotate* the phases of the
moon by redrawing the bitmap.
The question still is definitely, "how come the server didn't reset
when the session mgr. terminated". Namely, why was the root window not
reset.

| 545.6 | xsetroot stuck also | STAR::PARKE | Kung Fruit - Defense against agressive vegtables | Thu Apr 13 1989 13:46 | 10 |
| re .4
I use xsetroot to put up various "slides" from all over as my
background. Last week I has such a background up, logged out and the
background was all that remained. I never got back tothe login screen.
This has only happened once, but the xphoon problems sound sorta like
this "sticky setroot" anomoly.
|
| 545.7 | The xsetroot occurred when no one was logged in | TLE::DANIELS | Brad Daniels, VAX C RTL whipping boy | Fri Apr 14 1989 11:13 | 13 |
| Re .6:
Not quite... The screen had definitely gone back to the default, and the
picture of the moon on the screen had a noticeably different phase than it
had had the night before.
BTW - This is something of a tangent, but doesn't the shadow on the picture
of the moon have the wrong concavity when the moon is more than half full?
Does anyone know of a version of XPHOON which does the shadowing correctly?
If not, where can I get the source to hack?

| 545.10 | What's with GVRIEL? | ARTFUL::SCOTT | Lord, save me from these Mass-inine drivers! | Mon Apr 17 1989 15:10 | 8 |
| RE: .9
I've tried a few dozen times in the last couple of weeks to access
GVRIEL and it has never been accessible. What gives??? Is this some
kind of cruel tease?

| Node GVRIEL is not in ARTFUL's node database.
Use node 25519:: for GVRIEL::.

I *know* that ARTFUL's node database doesn't know about GVRIEL and I *know* how
get the node address and how to derive a numeric equivalent. When I said that
the node isn't available, I mean that I tried to access the node and was told
that it wasn't reachable. Not that it was unknown. Even ANCHOR thinks that
the node is unreachable whenever I've used it to get the address.
Thanks for your help, anyway. In any case, I checked while writing this note
and GVRIEL was available, for once, and I fired off a couple of FTSV jobs to get
the stuff I wanted.

| 545.13 | GVRIEL is up... | 25517::SCHOELLER | Who's on first? | Tue Apr 18 1989 15:28 | 16 |
| Mikey
2 things happened recently.
1) GVRIEL was moved (along with me and the rest of my department 8^{) to PKO3-1
That took us out for several days.
2) On Friday everything at PKO shut down for the weekend because of a power
shutdown for annual maintenance (great timing, huh? move just before the
shutdown instead of just after)
Sorry for any inconvenience. In general, GVRIEL is up and around most of the
time (BAGELerS would lynch me if it weren't 8^{)
