Hi all,
I am using a wizard from Hummingbird to create an Xterm on my pc, but I was wondering if I can create one without the help of Hummingbird. Could someone please help?
thanks
Ivo
Firstly, do you have X installed?
What version?
What window manager?
What system?
.....yes, sorry, here's more info.
I am using a HP 9000/899 with HP-UX B.10.20. X is installed but I can't see which version. As for a window manager, I am using WindowXP, or do you mean something else?
I don't know much about HP 9000 - so bare with me!
Is your system setup with a grphical login or command line login?
I use a telnet session to login.
When you like to open a Xterm window on your PC (e.g. running winXP), you need a window manager like Hummingbird.
If do not like Hummingbird (to expensive, to big) you can get a window manager from the internet.
I do not know where, i never used a free one, but Iam sure there are some out there
Ivo,
Did this fix your problems, or do you still have
after reading CIS Controls v8 Released | SANS Institute, does it still make sense of using ssh with the presumption that it is more secure than telnet and etc...
SO, after all these security, whether telnet, ssh, we are still at the risk of not being secure, so what can we do?
Turn off your network interfaces 
Seriously though, just don't take anything for granted - Do not assume you are secure just because you are using something like SSH, VPN, telnet, etc...
Getting back to getting an xterm on your machine - have you had any luck?
If you're on a Windows PC, you might try PuTTY - it masqurades as an xterm via telnet or ssh, so you can cut and paste via the mouse, view color text, and it's highly configurable...
CRT is also a good tool to use and can be downloaded free of charge
Sorry, I was trying to split this thread into a SSH vulnerability thread and accidentally deleted two good posts. My apologies for the mistake.
what do u mean by network interfaces? sorry for my ignorance,
D'oh!
To build an emulation terminal
just type:
i) man xterm
=> This is for normal UNIX system usage to build the emulation
from the terminal
ii) man hpterm
=> this is for HP UNIX sytem. It has its own UNIX terminal. I have tried to use before but I don't much different between xterm and hpterm.
***Sorry to call you to read at the help because I have not touch HP UNIX for 5 years. Now I am moving to LINUX Mandrake & SuSe.
Telnet also can be used; or other software. Since you are using HP - UNIX, you can use a software to telnet for terminal emulation
There is also a command, user friendly for HP UNIX;
type: tsm
(if I am not mistaken - it has a software that can emulate and execute from dump terminal - F1, F2, etc.)
