Solstice Backup 5.1 Administration Guide

Xview Errors

If you receive the following error message when you attempt to start the graphical administration interface with nwadmin from a client machine, it means that the client is not authorized to display Backup:


Xlib: connection to "mars:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Xview error: Cannot open display on window server: mars:0.0 (Server
package)

To correct the situation, perform the following steps:

  1. From the client machine, invoke the xhost command:


    # xhost server-name
    
  2. Remotely log in to the Backup server and issue the setenv command at the shell prompt.


    # setenv DISPLAY client-name:0.0
    

    For command shells other than /usr/bin/csh, enter:


    # DISPLAY=client-name:0.0 
    # export DISPLAY
