Xterm problem on Solaris 10

I apologize but didn't find an answer in the Discussions. I use an Exceed xterm just fine with Solaris 8 but it fails to connect to Solaris 10 server:

Xterm command line: DISPLAY=@d;export DISPLAY;/usr/openwin/bin/xterm

Failure message: "Unable to connect to host using specified start method"

I tried changing XServer type to "SUN" form "Xorg" using kdmconfig, but it didn't matter.

I can't enter the command: "export DISPLAY" at the command line, and am thinking that's the problem. Is this a Solaris 10 difference?

Thank you.

Solaris 10 comes with some of the more insecure access methods shut off by default. The error message tells you the START METHOD won't work. I.E.: telnet, rexec (rsh/rcmd), etc., etc..

Does your "X" emulator use SSH to connect ? The later versions of "Reflection X" can use OpenSSH to connect.

OR, on the Solaris 10 box, you can enable telnet, or RSH, or one of the other methods that eXceed allows you to use, as a means to connect to the Solaris 10 box.

As long as you already have the account on the Solaris 10 box, and you use a "connection method" from eXceed that is enabled on Solaris, you will be all right.

# svcadm enable rexec

That should resolve these problems.
