eXodus Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have a problem using a Sun or Solaris font server with eXodus?
The Sun Operating System version 5.6 has had several reports where the font server name is reported incorrectly. A key symptom of this is that the font server name may be truncated and or have an extra period; such as:
tcp/host.:7100
or
tcp/.domain.com.
The problem seems to be because of bad entries in the /usr/dt/config/Xsetup configuration file, where combining hostname+domainname+:7100 results in the address that will be reported as the font server. You can run "hostname" and "domainname" for that system and check the reported results are what was expected. The results are used to create the font server name that will be reported. If they are in error, then the font server name will be in error.
Even if the host and domain names are reported correctly, the scripting in the Xsetup file may be in error (this has been seen on the Solaris 2.6 and Sun 5.6 systems). Near the end of the file '/usr/dt/config/Xsetup' is a code that causes the login to have the X server connect to port 7100 of the Sun. You should be able to 'hard code' it by replacing 'hostname' with your Sun's name as follows:
$ XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/hostname:7100
or
$XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/hostname.dts.de:7100
