[TriLUG] OT: compaq digital unix help

[Marty Ferguson]

Item 1 and 2, can't help, although with item 1, you may be able to 
use stty or something to map a key.  Man on ASCII says that
the ESC character is 1B.

Item 3, sounds like XDMCP X display manager control protocol, 
is trying to exchange cookes (like on the web).  Try the xhosts 
command allowing access permission to everyone in the universe:
$ xhost +

(BTW - were you opening a root-xterm as root, or is X running as root
while you were running as uzer? or vice-versa?)

Hope this helps
Marty

Hi All-

This is sort of off topic (not a linux OS), but I'm in desperate need 
of help.  A colleague of mine has an Compaq Digital Unix Workstation 
(personal workstation 500au) that I need to get on the network 
(primarily since the CDROM is broken).  A few (very stupid) questions, 
since I'm new to this ancient beast and it's wicked slow ...

1.  This is sort of ridiculous, but I cannot figure out how to get ESC 
on the keyboard to work.  It shares a home on the same key with ~ and ` 
.. but the is printed on the key as (ESC).  I've tried using ALT, 
CONTROL, SHIFT, but cannot get it to work (might be important for use 
in vi).  Any ideas?

2.  Anyone know what specific files I might need to edit to get the 
network up and running (I am RTFM right now, but it's horribly 
organized, but nicely stained in coffee).

3.  A disturbing message prints to the terminal when I open a new 
window:  "Cannot send cookie to root, because user X is not in trusted 
host database."  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Doug
