Exceed Users Guide
X Window Systems and Exceed

Exceed converts your PC into an Exceed X server. In the X Window environment, the Exceed X server is also referred to as an X window terminal or display server. Without Exceed X server software, X applications are accessible only via X terminals, UNIX, Linux, and VMS workstations. Exceed works with your network transport software (TCP/IP, DECnet, or IPX/SPX) or your modem, to access X Windows applications on host computers running the X Window System. The host can be any operating system that is running the X Window environment. The figure below shows how Exceed lets your PC access the X Windows environment.
Host terminals UNIX Host
Transport software Your PC Applications
Displays X Window applications on the Exceed X server
Exceed Applications
The Exceed software package includes applications that serve distinct functions. The applications are listed and briefly described below. X Client Wizard This application guides you through the process of creating a connection to a host. See Chapter 4: Connecting to Hosts and Running X Clients on page 97 for details. Xconfig Xconfig is a utility for configuring a variety of Exceed settings: input, communication, video, protocol, security, window modes, performance, X selection, fonts, troubleshooting, and transport settings. For details, see Chapter 6: XconfigConfiguring Exceed on page 143. Xstart Xstart is an application for automating access to hosts and starting applications. Use Xstart to create Xstart (.xs) startup files and create shortcut icons to your UNIX, Linux and X applications. When you click on these icons, they automatically establish a host connection, log on, and then start an X client, a character-based host application in a terminal emulator window, or run a host-based script. For details, see Chapter 4: Connecting to Hosts and Running X Clients on page 97. Xsession Xsession lets you start multiple X clients (Xstart files) and Windows programs (Wstart files) simultaneously. For details, see Chapter 4: Connecting to Hosts and Running X Clients on page 97. Exceed Exceed X server is a PC X server that displays graphical UNIX, Linux, and X applications on your PC. Exceed XDMCP Broadcast This shortcut lets you start the Exceed X server in XDMCP broadcast mode. Exceed XDMCP Query XDMCP query mode. This shortcut lets you start the Exceed X server in
Exceed Help This is the Help documentation that installs with the Complete setup type or if you specify its installation in a Custom setup type. You can use the Exceed startup applications to connect to a host and display UNIX, Linux, VMS and X applications on your PC. You can use the Client Wizard to guide you through this process, or set up the connection manually.
Exceed Users Guide
Throughout this guide, xterm (a UNIX VT100 terminal emulator) is used as a sample X client. It provides a terminal emulation window on the host, and a command line where you can start other X clients.

Chapter 2: Installing Exceed
Overview
The Hummingbird Setup Wizard (beginning with version 7.0) supports Windows Installer technology. Setup Wizard is based on three standard, top-level user interfaces or modes: installation, administration, and advertisement. Each defines a different installation path and user interface flow. The following sections in this chapter provide:

For more information, see Preserving User Profiles on page 44.

Note: You cannot preserve user profiles for products before version 6.2.
For information about updating products (version 7.x or greater), see Updating the Product on page 45.
Windows Installer Technology

For more information about Windows Installer, see the documentation available in the MSDN online library at msdn.microsoft.com
The Windows Installer service is an operating system component that acts as a setup engine. The installer includes:

an operating system-resident installation service a standard format for component management a management API (such as Hummingbird Setup Wizard) for applications and tools
11
Exceed Users Guide
Windows Installer copies files onto the hard disk, modifies the registry, creates shortcuts on the desktop, and displays dialog boxes that prompt for user input. For more information, see Multi-Language Support on page 15.
Windows Installer consists of a client-side installer service (Msiexec.exe) and a Microsoft Software Installation (.msi) package file. The installer uses information in the package file to install the Hummingbird product. Msiexec.exe is called by Hummingbird Setup Wizard and uses a dynamiclink library (.dll) to read the package files, apply transformation (.mst) files, and incorporate options supplied by Setup Wizard. Windows Installer changes the registered file type of .msi files so that double-clicking the file runs Msiexec.exe with the .msi file. Each .msi package file contains a relational database that stores instructions and data required to install (and uninstall) the program. The installer eliminates the need to run a setup engine on each target computer. Since installations are run through this common engine, the operating system can keep track of installation databases. The key benefits of this technology are:

efficient management of shared resources consistent installation rules easy customization choice of what pieces of the application are installed the ability to diagnose and repair problems at run-time
These and other benefits are outlined below: Consistent Installation and Setup Rules Windows Installer ensures all setup rules are implemented by the operating system. To follow those rules and avoid problems, a Hummingbird application describes itself in the standard Windows Installer format. The installer then performs the installation duties on behalf of the application. Restores computer state if installation fails Windows Installer tracks changes made to the system during the installation process. If the installation fails, the installer restores the system to its initial state.
12
Prevents program conflicts Conflicts occur, for example, when an installation operation updates a dynamic-link library (.dll) file shared by an existing program (sometimes replacing a newer .dll with an older one), or when an uninstall operation deletes a .dll file shared by another program. This might cause the computer to stop responding. The installer enforces installation rules that help prevent such conflicts. Diagnoses and repairs corrupted or damaged files Windows Installer can determine whether an installed program has missing or corrupted files. The installer repairs the program as necessary by replacing only those files. Reliably uninstalls existing programs Windows Installer reliably uninstalls any program it previously installed. All the associated registry entries and program files are removed, except for those shared by other software.
For more information about Sconfig for Windows Installer, see Chapter 3: Advanced Installation.
Supports Hummingbird Sconfig Sconfig is an advanced system administration tool that lets administrators customize the Setup Wizard program.
Hummingbird Setup Wizard

Hummingbird Setup Wizard is the interface displayed by Windows Installer. Setup Wizard does the following:

uses the Windows Installer service to maintain the applications and resources installed on the computer determines the correct path to specific components ensures that applications do not point to missing files
The Windows Installer service views all applications as three logical building blocks: products, features, and components. For more details about these terms, see the following sub-sections.
Products
A product represents a single Hummingbird product such as Exceed, NFS Maestro, or HostExplorer. Products consist of one or more features. Each product is described to the Windows Installer service in the form of a single package file (.msi) or installation database.
13
Exceed Users Guide
Products do not own any resources directly, but they do have globallyunique identifiers known as Product Codes. These enable the service to identify applications that are clients of a given component. Windows Installer service maintains a list of client products for each component. Product Codes let the service determine if a given product is already installed on a particular computer.
Features
Features are the individual pieces of an application that you can choose to install. Typically, they represent the functional features of an application. When you select Custom in the Setup Wizard program, the interface provides you with a tree that is composed of features (and sub-features). An example of a feature is X Server or Traceroute.
Components
A component is the smallest and most fundamental of the three logical building blocks. A component is a collection of files, registry keys, and other resources that are all installed or uninstalled together. When a given component is selected for installation or removal, all of the resources in that component are either installed or removed. Components are invisible to the user; Hummingbird Setup Wizard manages whatever components make up a given Hummingbird application. Examples of components include single files, a group of related files, COM objects, registration, registry keys, shortcuts, resources, libraries grouped into a directory, or shared pieces of code.
14
Multi-Language Support
Hummingbird Setup Wizard can perform installation for the following languages:
Language German English1 Spanish French Italian Portuguese
1
Transform File 1031.mst 1033.mst 1034.mst 1036.mst 1040.mst 2070.mst
English (United States) is the default installation language. Some Hummingbird products are available only in English. For more information, see the table on page 16.
Each language has an associated .mst transform file. Depending on the language selected, Setup Wizard applies the appropriate .mst file to the original .msi (which initially contains English text strings in the user interface). You can by-pass Setup Wizard and apply a language transformation using the following command line syntax:
For more information about Msiexec command line options, see the Windows Installer documentation in the MSDN online Library at msdn.microsoft.com or on CD-ROM via subscription.
msiexec /i path TRANSFORMS=filename.mst
where path is the path to the .msi file, and filename.mst is the appropriate transform file listed in the table above. For example, the following applies an German transformation to Exceed:
msiexec /i Hummingbird Exceed.msi TRANSFORMS=1031.mst
If no transform is specified, then English user interface and files are installed.

16
Preparing to Install
System and shared files currently in use cannot be updated. Close all applications before proceeding with the installation.
Note: Before installing on Windows NT/2000/XP , it is recommended that you log on with Administrator authority. You also require write access to the Windows system directory and registry. If necessary, consult your system administrator.
Hummingbird connectivity products (version 7.0 and later) use Windows Installer. It is included with Windows 2000/XP and Windows Me. If Windows Installer is not present on your Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0 operating system, then Hummingbird Setup Wizard installs and configures the service.
Note: The first time Hummingbird Setup Wizard installs and configures Windows Installer, you may be prompted to restart the machine. Installation continues after your system restarts.
If Windows Installer is present on the operating system, Setup Wizard checks the version. If necessary, Windows Installer is updated.

Approximate free hard disk space required for a installation of all program features (Complete setup type). Administrator privileges are required to install some portions of the product.
Note: For some installation scenarios, Windows NT 4.0 requires Internet Explorer 4.01 or greater, and Windows Desktop Update (shell32.dll version 4.72.3110.0).
18
Third Party Software

JRE consists of the Java Virtual Machine, the Java platform core classes, and supporting files.
Certain third party software must be installed to run some Hummingbird products. Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is required to run Java programs. For example, you must install JRE before installing the Exceed (Tools)Xdis product sub-feature. Hummingbird Master Setup lets you install third party add-on(s) such as Adobe Acrobat Reader and Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment.
Choosing a Setup Type

For an illustration of setup types, see the dialog box on page 25.
Hummingbird Setup Wizard prompts you to choose either a Typical, Custom, or Complete setup type. For assistance with choosing a setup type, consult the following quick reference table:
Setup Type Typical Function standard features no feature or feature directory changes Custom control over feature and directory changes advanced users and system administrators users with restricted disk space Complete everything is installed in default directories users without disk space restrictions see Complete on page 30 Recommended for: new users More information: see Typical on page 26
see Custom on page 29
Note: All setup types allow you to change the destination folder (also known as the root home directory). However, this change affects all feature directories.

Hummingbird Sconfig
Sconfig is an advanced system administration tool that lets administrators customize the Setup Wizard program. For more information, see Chapter 3: Advanced Installation.
Installation Directories
Hummingbird Setup Wizard installs program-specific and user-specific files to the directories described below.
Installation Destination folder Description Program files install into the destination folder (also known as the root home directory). It is recommended that you use the default directory: C:\Program Files\ Hummingbird\Connectivity\ Version\ However, you can specify a different directory. User directory User files install into the user directory. These files are configuration files or related files that your Hummingbird product can change. There are two kinds of user directories and user files. For more information, see Installed Files below. Warning: Do not make a user directory read-only. Location: a remote network drive or a local hard drive. Location/Type Location: a remote network drive or a local hard drive. Can be a read-only directory.
Setup Wizard supports the Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) so you can begin path specifications with \\ in place of the disk drive to specify a shared directory on a file server. For example:
\\machine_specification\share_name
where machine_specification is the name of the computer to which you are connecting, and share_name is the name of the shared directory. If you use UNC names to install to a Novell server, you must install the OS/2 support patch on the NetWare server as NetWare servers do not support UNC paths. 20
Installed Files
User files for Hummingbird connectivity products fall into two categories:

Per-machine files are local so that key operating system components, such as device drivers and services, can reliably access them during login.
per-machine per-user
Per-machine files are those application or service files that, when changed, affect all users of the computer. An example is the inetd.ini file. If you change inetd.ini to stop the Telnet daemon from running, then regardless of which user is logged onto the computer, the Inetd service rejects Telnet connections. Per-user files are all application or service files that, when changed, affect only the user who is making the change (that is, the currently logged in user). An example of a user-specific file is exceed.xcfg. If you configure exceed.xcfg with Xconfig to use a certain display, then other users of the machine are not affected.
Note: Each user of the product on the machine receives a personal user directory.
The following are the per-machine file locations:

Operating System Windows 98/Me Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000/XP Per-MachineFile Location C:\Windows\System\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\ C:\Winnt\System32\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\
21
Exceed Users Guide
The following are the default locations for user files:

Operating System Windows 98/Me Windows 98/Me (user profiles enabled) Windows NT 4.0 Windows 2000/XP Per-User FilesDefault Location (Current User) C:\Windows\Application Data\Hummingbird \Connectivity\version\ C:\Windows\Profiles\%USERNAME%\Application Data \Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\ C:\Winnt\Profiles\%USERNAME%\Application Data \Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\ C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME% \Application Data\Hummingbird\Connectivity (hidden) \version\
Current User versus All Users

For version 8, Hummingbird Connectivity products use individual or personal profiles even when a product is installed for all users of the machine. For more information about customizing individualized installations, see Chapter 3: Advanced Installation. For Windows NT/2000/XP platforms, Hummingbird Setup Wizard prompts you to choose between installing the product on the computer for the currently logged in user, or for all users. For the current user, shortcuts are created in the appropriate user profile folder, along with copies of all other user files. For all users (anyone who uses the computer), shortcuts are created in the All Users profile folder, and user files are created for each user of the machine (when they first use the product).

Administrative Installation
Autorun launches the Hummingbird Master Setup application when you insert the CD into your drive. If Master Setup does not launch automatically, run Msetup.exe from the root directory of the CD. Administrative installations let you create a centralized image of the product. This means that many users can install the product without the original CD media.
32
There are two types of administrative installations: Copy Image This installation creates a language-specific image at a network location, but in all other respects, this image is the same as the contents of the original CD. Running Setup.exe from a Copy Image is the same as a personal installation. For more information, see the procedure Personal Installation, from pages 23 to 26. Shared Image This installation creates a language-specific image for running applications from the network. When an application is marked Run from Network, only the user and system files are installed to the local computer. All other files remain on the Shared Image server. Running Setup.exe from a Shared Image is called a workstation installation (see page 43). This is similar to a personal installation, except advertisement (see Advertised Product on page 38) is not available and features are set to run from the network. All Hummingbird products support AdministrativeCopy Image installation. AdministrativeShared Image installation is available for the following products:

Exceed Exceed 3D Exceed XDK Exceed PowerSuite HostExplorer NFS Maestro Client NFS Maestro Solo
Note: An administrative installation only copies files. The product is not installed to the network location (server), nor does it make changes to the server. Only the network location folder is modified.
33
Exceed Users Guide
To run Setup Wizard in Administrative mode: 1 Run Msetup from the product CD. In the Hummingbird Master Setup application window, you can select options to install third party add-ons, register online, or view release notes. Otherwise, to run Setup Wizard, click Install Product, then click Administrative Installation. Alternatively, from the product directory on the CD, run:
setup /a
Select a setup language and click OK. This language will apply to all installations from the copied image or shared image.

If necessary, the version is updated and the Setup Wizard continues. If Windows Installer is not present on your operating system, Setup Wizard installs the service.
After configuring Windows Installer and preparing to install, Setup Wizard proceeds to the Welcome dialog box. Click Next.
Note: To quit the installation, click Cancel in any Setup Wizard dialog box. Your computer is not affected if you do this before the Setup Wizard copies files. To review or change settings in a previous dialog, click Back.

Note: There are no spaces between the /V and /qn options and that V is upper-case. If a character string contains a space, put quotes around it. For example: /Vparameter space /lnnnn Overrides the default English language installation where nnnn is the transform file name. Note: For nnnn, type only the number but not the .mst extension. /RS|RE command Run the command either at the startup (/RS) or at the end (/RE) of setup. For example, to launch a file in Notepad at startup: /RS notepad readme.txt
Installation proceeds to completion.
Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)

An Administrator can use SMS to manage network computers, distribute software from a central location, and perform a variety of other system management tasks. The Administrator can install a package of products simultaneously on multiple computers.
40
Requirements:
You can get the latest service pack for SMS from the Microsoft web site.
SMS version 2.0 with service pack 2 (or greater) SMS Client (installed on each client computer) supplied with SMS Server Windows Installer on the client computer
A package contains source files for the program and various details for directing the software distribution process.
To distribute a product using SMS, the Administrator must create a package definition file according to SMS instructions. For convenience, Hummingbird provides default .sms files for all products. There are three default scenarios in each package definition file:

Typical SilentTypical SilentComplete
When a package is run through SMS, it prompts you to select one of these options (scenarios). Use the following command line parameters to apply modifications or create new package definition files:
Command Line Parameter /i /q INSTALLLEVEL=150 TRANSFORMS=nnnn.mst Description Installs or configures a product. Sets user interface level (silent). Does a complete install. Specifies the product language where nnnn is the transform file name.
For more information about Msiexec command line options, see the Windows Installer documentation available in the MSDN online library at msdn.microsoft.com
For example, a complete silent installation of a Hummingbird product in Italian would look like this:
msiexec /i "Hummingbird Product.msi" TRANSFORMS=1040.mst INSTALLLEVEL=150 /q

Preserving User Profiles

Hummingbird Setup Wizard does not preserve user profiles for products before version 6.2. You must manually uninstall all such products before installing version 8.x.
Version 6.2 User Profiles

You can preserve user profiles for version 6.2 Hummingbird products. If you are upgrading the same (single) product from version 6.2 to version 8.x, Setup Wizard will back up user profiles and automatically uninstall the version 6.2 product. User profiles for multiple version 6.2 products can be preserved, but the products are not automatically uninstalled. These must be uninstalled manually before installing version 8.x. For more information, see the following procedure. General procedure: 1
User files are stored in the current users Application Data folder under MigBack.
After launching Hummingbird Setup Wizard, version 6.2 products are detected. Setup Wizard reports that user files are saved for each product. This part of the procedure varies depending on the number of products detected: Single product (upgrade): a) The product is uninstalled. You are prompted to restart. b) Launch Setup Wizard again. Multiple products: a) You are informed that these must be uninstalled manually. Setup Wizard exits. b) Uninstall the products. c) Launch Setup Wizard again.
2 3
If Setup Wizard does not detect any older product versions, installation of the version 8.x Hummingbird product proceeds to completion. Your version 6.2 profiles are available when you run the version 8.x product.
44
Version 7 User Profiles

Hummingbird version 8 products automatically replace a previously installed 7 version of the same product. All settings are preserved in a backup location, and those settings that are applicable to the newly installed features of version 8 are migrated.
Note: Some products do not support side-by-side installation. If version 6.2 to 8 migration was disabled to allow side-by-side installation of a product, an upgrade from version 7 to version 8 is possible, but the version 7 settings are migrated instead of the 6.2 settings.
With All Users installation for version 8, each user gets an individual profile. Previous user files (older versions of Hummingbird products) were possibly shared by one or more users. As a result, these files are backed up to the Migration subfolder of the global user directory (template) so that all users get the profile settings.
Updating the Product

WebUpdate options for your Hummingbird product are preset. For update options, right-click the Hummingbird product entry in the WebUpdate dialog box and select from the drop-down menu.

Chapter 3: Advanced Installation
Installing on a Terminal Server

A Terminal Server installation is a two-stage process that consists of creating an administrative copy image on the Terminal Server, and installing the Hummingbird product onto the Terminal Server from the newly-created copy. You can run a terminal server installation on Windows NT4 Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000 Server, and Advanced Server with Terminal Services enabled. The following procedure assumes:

you are logged onto the Terminal Server as the Administrator the product CD is available locally or on the network
Stage 1: Creating an Administrative Copy Image

You must apply the appropriate product-specific transform to your Hummingbird product before the product can be installed on a machine with Terminal Server capabilities. To create an Administrative Copy Image on the Terminal Server: 1 From the product directory on the CD, run the following commands from a command prompt. For Exceed:
setup /a /vTRANSFORMS=ExceedTSE.mst
For Exceed XDK:

setup /a /vTRANSFORMS=ExceedXDKTSE.mst
For Exceed PowerSuite:

setup /a /vTRANSFORMS=ExceedPSTSE.mst Warning! When creating the Administrative Copy Image, you must apply the product-specific Transform. For Exceed, apply ExceedTSE.mst; for Exceed XDK, apply ExceedXDKTSE.mst; for Exceed PowerSuite, apply ExceedPSTSE.mst.

Select a setup language and click OK.

Note: The language you select during this setup process will be the language of the administrative image.

If necessary, the version is updated and the Setup Wizard continues. If Windows Installer is not present on your operating system, Setup Wizard installs the service. Click Restart System to continue installing the product. Setup Wizard reboots the computer. This is necessary only the first time Windows Installer is configured and installed on your Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition operating system.
After configuring Windows Installer and preparing to install, Setup Wizard opens the Welcome dialog box. Click Next.
Note: To quit the installation, click Cancel in any Setup Wizard dialog box. Your computer is not affected if you do this before the Setup Wizard begins copying files. To review or change settings in a previous dialog, click Back.
The Network Location dialog box opens. Accept the default installation folder for the product or click Change to browse to an alternate network location. A folder with the default name Admin is created on the terminal server. The Administrative Copy Image will be placed in the Admin folder.
Note: Each user has private shortcuts, registry entries, and user files. User files are copied from the Admin folder. Each user must have at least read access to the Admin folder installation point.
Click Next. The Ready to Install Network Image dialog box opens.
50
Click Install. Installation of the Administrative Copy Image proceeds to completion.

Note: The Administrative Copy Image must be readable by all users who are granted permission to use Exceed.
Stage 2: Personal Installation

After creating an Administrative Copy Image, you can install personal installations of your Hummingbird product onto the Terminal Server from this image. To install your Hummingbird product onto the Terminal Server: 1 From the command line, change the directory to C:/Admin and run
setup.exe
where C:\Admin is the name of the drive and folder where the Administrative Copy Image is located.
Note: The Admin folder and its contents must remain available during the lifetime of on the terminal server. Multiple terminal servers can share the same Admin folder.
Warning! Installing from Add/Remove Programs should be avoided. When in installation mode, Windows Terminal Server Edition caches values written into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hive. This defeats the purpose of the per-user installation and can cause problems with display assignment.

Remove the UsrSetup file from the Terminal Server machine.
Customizing Installations with Sconfig

Many users in an enterprise maintain different development needs and require customized software to meet those needs. For example, some users may require specific features of the Hummingbird product such as Telnet and FTP setting files to connect to frequently used hosts, while other users would not. Instead, these users may require specific font settings and features installed with their Hummingbird product.
For more information on Windows Installer, see the installation chapter.
Sconfig is an advanced system administration tool that helps users make the best use of their Hummingbird software in specific networked environments. With Sconfig, you can customize the Setup Wizard to create tailored installation packages of Hummingbird software for different users. You can do the following:

Customize the directories in which the product is installed and add custom folders. Tailor the list of applications or components to be installed. You can alter the list to limit the functionality available to users, or to optimize the use of disk space. Simplify user input during the installation by preselecting information, such as the properties of the software being installed.
55
Exceed Users Guide
You can use Sconfig to package customized installations that cater to each user by creating a Microsoft transform file (.mst). After creating a transform file, you can then include those applications (and subsequent components) that are useful for each user.
Note: When installing the Hummingbird software on the administrator machine, you must choose Custom or Complete installation. Sconfig does not install with a Typical installation.
About Windows Installer Database Files

Microsoft Windows Installer uses Microsoft Software Installation package files (.msi) to install the Hummingbird product. A package file is a database file which contains information on product components and installation directories. Sconfig uses the package files as a foundation for building customized installations. Using Sconfig, you can open any Hummingbird product package file, modify the settings, and save the settings in a Microsoft transform file.
Microsoft Transform Files

A Microsoft transform file makes changes to the elements of a package file. When a transform file is applied to a package file, it changes the behavior of an installation. Whenever Windows Installer needs to perform a customization or a configuration change, it applies the transform file to the package file to create and change the installation database. Like the package file, the transform file is a relational database with information about product components and installation directories, but the transform file contains only those changes that you want to apply to the installation package. Instead of changing the package file, Sconfig stores all the customized settings in a transform file. You can then use Sconfig to open the transform file and make future customizations by applying your settings to an updated package file. 56
Working with Transform Files in Sconfig

Using a transform file, Sconfig lets you make modifications to an existing, preconfigured package file. When you run the Setup Configuration Wizard, you must first identify the package file that you want to customize. Then you can specify the transform file that you want to use. Sconfig opens the Setup Configuration Wizard Customize dialog box. Here you can begin making alterations to the installation database. When preparing for multiple custom installations, you need to create a separate transform file for each group of users. You can then apply each transform file to the Hummingbird products package file, thus temporarily updating the package file and storing the changes in your customized transform file. When opening Sconfig you must specify the transform and package files. You can work with a new package file or with a preconfigured one.
Note: Sconfig is not installed in a Typical installation. It installs only if you choose Custom or Complete installation type.
To open Sconfig: 1 2 3 4 On the Star t menu, navigate to the Hummingbird Product Administration folder. Click Sconfig to open the wizard. A short welcome screen appears. Click Next to continue. Specify the package file that you want to customize and click Next. You can choose a package file in one of the following ways:

Specify a package file (.msi) that you previously configured. Browse for a new package file (.msi).
Specify the transform file that you want to create. You can specify a transform file in one of the following ways:
Specify a transform file (.mst) that you previously configured.

Setting Custom Font Directories and Servers

To view the Custom Fonts Settings dialog box, expand the Exceed Settings option in the left panel of the Setup Configuration wizard and click the Custom Fonts Settings option. When you execute custom installations for Hummingbird Exceed, Sconfig lets you control the directories and servers added to the font database. The font database is stored in the lfp.xdb file; Xconfig uses this file when locating font directories and servers. The end result of the customization is that users should see a new customized font directory or server in Xconfig.
Note: You need to plan your font directories and servers according to the demands of each user.
79
Exceed Users Guide
Hummingbird font directories and servers can be added to, modified within, and removed from an installation database for different users in an enterprise.
Setting Custom Font Directories

This option is available for users that use Exceed and require custom font files in the Xconfig utility. During a mass installation, you need to provide font directories that are tailored to meet the demands of each user. This means including only those font files (.fon) in each directory that are useful to each user. With Sconfig, you can provide custom (.fon) files in each directory for specific users to optimize disk space and to enhance productivity.
Adding a Custom Font Directory and Font Files

Adding font directories with Sconfig creates new customized font directories in the Xconfig font database. The font database in Xconfig is stored in the lfp.xdb file in the user directory. Specific fonts in the font database are stored in font directories and on font servers.
80
Before you can add the font directory to a custom installation database with Sconfig, you must do the following in the Exceed Xconfig utility:

Create a custom font directory. Add custom font files (.fon) to this directory.
For more information, refer to the Exceed Users Guide. To add a custom font directory: 1 In the Custom Fonts Settings dialog box, click Add. The Add/Modify Custom Fonts Settings dialog box opens.
2 3
From the Font Type drop-down list, select Directory. In the Font Directory box, type the name of the custom directory. In the File Name box, click Browse and navigate to the font database file (.fdb). This file is created by Xconfig and stored in the following location:
Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\Default User\Exceed\ <CR>

Select and copy the custom font files (.fon) you need into your custom font directory and click OK. The Custom Fonts Settings dialog box appears listing new font files added to the directory.
10 If you want to add new font files to the directory, repeat steps 7-9. A new custom font directory along with (.fon) files is added to the installation database.
Modifying a Custom Font Directory

Modifying a custom font directory lets you change the specifications for the selected font directory in the Xconfig font database. You can change the font type from directory to server, change the name of the font directory, and add a new font database file (.fdb) to this directory.
Warning! When changing the name of a font directory, you must add the font files (.fon) to that directory.
82
If you are changing a font directory in the database, you need to know the name of the directory and the name of the font database file corresponding to the new font directory. To modify a custom font directory: 1 2 3 4 In the Custom Fonts Settings dialog box, click Modify. The Add/Modify Custom Fonts Settings dialog box opens.

Saving the .mst File

Once you have made your modifications to the Hummingbird product properties, go through the following steps to save your transform file: To save the .mst file: 1 In the Setup Configuration Wizard, click Next. The Sconfig Configuration Wizard Commit dialog box opens confirming that you are about to save your configurations to a transform file. Click Next to create the transform file (.mst). This process is automatic and does not display on screen. The Sconfig Wizard Configuration Complete dialog box opens, stating that you have created your transform file. Click Finish to exit Sconfig.
Sconfig saves your transform file in the same folder as the package file. This makes it easier for users to find when they want to access the file from the administrative installation point.
Applying the .mst File to an Install

After you have created an transform file, you can use it to customize Hummingbird product installation. To do this, you must tell the setup.exe where to find your transform file. To change the setup.exe:
For more information on installing with an .mst file, see the Sconfig online help.
1 2
In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder that contains the setup.ini file of your Hummingbird product. Open the setup.ini file.
88
On the line beginning with CmdLine, add the following text:

TRANSFORMS=full path to the .mst file
For example, the CmdLine for Hummingbird YourProduct would look like this:
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS=c:\Hummingbird YourProduct.mst
where YourProduct is the Hummingbird Connectivity product you are customizing. 4 5 On the File menu, click Save. On the File menu, click Close.
The new CmdLine in the setup.ini file tells the setup program to incorporate the new transform file in the program install. When you run setup.exe, it uses both the original package file, and the transform file that you created using Sconfig.
Creating Multiple Custom Installations

Multiple custom installations are important for disparate users with different development needs. Users demand software that makes efficient use of both their time and disk space. Rather than having users sift through a large Hummingbird product installation, use the Sconfig utility to package custom installations for each user. To create another .mst file: 1 2 3 Open Sconfig and browse to a new transform file (.mst). Create and save the transform file (.mst) to the administration installation point. If you want to create more transform files for custom installations, repeat steps 1-2.
89
Exceed Users Guide
To use your new transform file (.mst), launch the Setup Wizard by using the following command:
setup /vTRANSFORMS=c:\YourTransform.mst"
This way multiple transform files can exist in one source location, without repeated modifications to the setup.ini file.
Running Sconfig from a Command-line

You can use a command-line prompt to generate transform files and to apply them to an .msi.
Generating a TransformFile
Use the following command to generate a transform file:
-g basedb newdb transform [error/validation conditions]
where:
basedb is the database file you want to use to create the transform
file
newdb is the name of the new database file that contains changes
that you want to add to the transform

tranform is the file name of the transform file you want to create. error is the code for any errors you want to suppress validation conditions is the code for any conditions under which
a transform can be applied to a package
Applying a Transform File

Use the following command to apply a transform file to an installation file (.msi):
-a transform database [error conditions]
where:
transform is the transform file you want to apply
90
database is the database file to which you want to apply the transform error conditions is the code for any errors you want to suppress
Error Conditions
The following table lists the error that you can suppress when applying a transform:
Code a b c d e f Definition Add existing row. Delete non-existing row. Add existing table. Delete non-existing table. Modify existing row. Change codepage.
Validation Conditions
The following table lists the validation conditions you can apply to the transform file:
Code g l p r s t u v Definition Check upgrade code. Check language. Check platform. Check product. Check major version only. Check major and minor versions only. Check major, minor, and update versions. Applied database version < base database version.

Customizing Hummingbird Connectivity Settings Installation

During the installation of Hummingbird Connectivity products, default profiles and settings are installed in a common location for all users. This location, including all files and folders, acts as a template collectively known as the global user directory. When a user launches a component for the first time, this template is copied to a user-specific (per-user) location or personal user directory. The product CD is not required. The following are the default (root) directories:
Directory Personal (Per-User) Global (All Users) Location (Root)
AppDataFolder\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\ Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\ Default User
92
Administrators can refresh default files, profiles, and settings in the global user directory. Administrators control the global defaults contained in the global user directory; users control the contents of their personal user directory. Each application determines what personal data and what global data exists, but only reads user-specific settings from the personal user directory or from the current user's Windows Registry.
Note: Administrators and users should change files and folders only below the root level.
Customizing Files and Folders

Any user who has write access can modify the global user directory; typically, only Administrators have write access. Both files and registry entries can be added and removed. Such changes are reflected respectively in the personal user directory and the current user's Windows Registry. Administrators can add files or folders below the level of existing root subfolders. These files or folders are automatically copied to the personal user directory. New root level sub-folders are handled by PerUser Settings.ini located at the root of the Default User directory. This file determines whether or not an installation is required. Hummingbird Connectivity user settings are automatically created when a user of the machine first launches a Hummingbird Connectivity application. Administrators can change the location of the personal user directory where the template files and folders are installed. Default locations are based on registry values. An administrator can change these values (even remotely) after the initial install. Sconfig has the ability to modify the initial values through its Directory dialog box.
Adding Registry Entries

Each root-level folder in the global user directory has an associated registry file. These are stored in the Registry folder. The [Registry Files] section in PerUser Settings.ini provides a method of associating a .humreg file (which is actually .reg file format) with an internal folder name. This is only for installing registry keys and values to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hive.
93
Exceed Users Guide
Entries in [Registry Files] use the following syntax:

FolderName=Short_humreg|Long_humreg
where Long_humreg represents the path of the file (for example, Registry\Accessories.humreg) relative to the global user directory root. Short_humreg is the proper MS DOS 8.3 path name. If the Long_humreg file is described as a MS DOS 8.3 path, then Short_humreg and the pipe (|) character can be omitted. Multiple .humreg files can be specified for a single folder by separating the paths with semi-colons.
Updating the Personal User Directory for All Users

When the global user directory is updated, any newly created personal user directories automatically get the latest files. For users that already have a personal user directory, Administrators can use one of the following methods to update the user files.
Automatic Update
To update the personal user directory for each user automatically (the next time they use a Hummingbird Connectivity application), update the [Last Modified] section of PerUser Settings.ini. Do this by running the following command:
HumSettings.exe UPDATELASTMODIFIED=FolderName
where FolderName is the internal name for one of the top level, global user directory. Specify multiple directory names by separating the names with semi-colons. HumSettings.exe is located in Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\Accessories.
Note: The time stamp is stored in binary format. If you change the time stamp values manually, you risk having the per-user installation run multiple times.
Manual Update
To manually update the personal user folder for a specific user, at the command prompt type:
HumSettings.exe REFRESH=ALL USER=user_profile_path
94
where REFRESH=ALL re-installs, repairs, or refreshes all installed product folders. USER=user_profile_path specifies the profile path for the personal user directory. For example:
HumSettings.exe REFRESH=ALL USER="C:\Documents and Settings\user" Note: Do not include a backslash character (\) at the end of the USER command. Otherwise, the command line may be misinterpreted and lead to unexpected results.
Disabling Migration for Per-user Installations

If the machine has an available migration source, you can disable the migration process for individual users by modifying PerUser Migration.ini. This file is used by Hummingbird Connectivity Settings to determine whether or not the settings contained in the migration folder of the global user directory should be migrated to each user. Change the [Active Migration Sources] section in PerUser Migration.ini so that all migration sources have a value of 0. This section determines whether or not a particular version should be considered for migration purposes.
Controlling the Uninstallation

When a Hummingbird Connectivity product is uninstalled, Hummingbird Connectivity Settings removes the personal user directory from the current user profile. In addition, the default behavior of the uninstall is to remove all key registry entries (including Hummingbird Neighborhood registration) from all local user profiles on the machine for which Hummingbird Connectivity user settings were created. Set the PREVENTALLUSERPROFILEUNINSTALL property to 1 in Sconfig, or manually on the command line of an uninstall operation. If the property is set to 1, the uninstall process removes only the personal user directory from the current user profile.
95
Exceed Users Guide
For complete control, set the property PERUSERUNINSTALLTYPE in Sconfig, or manually on the command line of an uninstall operation. It can be set to a string representing the exact command line parameters passed to HumSettings.exe.

Load optimization
This feature makes Xstart connections more efficient. Where the original host is already accommodating many connections, the connection may be diverted to another host. 108
Methods
To configure Xstart for load optimization, select a Method:

the application on the least busy host. You can create and maintain this file, and save it in the User directory. This method is the easiest to run and is convenient if the desired application resides on every host in rupdb.txt (such as xterm). If the application runs on certain hosts only (not necessarily the least busy ones), then this method could fail. Alternatively, you can use rupdb.txt in conjunction with appdb.txt (provided you have previously created appdb.txt). In this case, select Use Apps File in the Options sub-tab. By comparing the two files, Xstart figures out what subset of hosts in rupdb.txt have the desired application and selects from those alone.
FTPUses a file on an FTP server as the source available hosts. You can

In the File field, enter the name and location of the source file on the FTP server. NISUses an NIS (Network Information Service) map rupdb as a source for available hosts. Before browsing, you must configure Hummingbird Directory Services. The system administrator on the UNIX side has to create the map.
NIS+ Uses an NIS+ map rupdb as the source for available hosts.
Before browsing, you must configure Hummingbird Directory Services. The system administrator on the UNIX side has to create the map.
LDAPUses the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Like NIS+, LDAP secures its objects by requiring client authentication. Before browsing, you must configure Hummingbird Directory Services. Broadcast Sends out a broadcast on the network. This option is
limited to queries within your subnet, unless you type an address for another subnet. If you selected Use Apps File in the Options sub-tab, then Xstart broadcasts the rup RPC to the subset of hosts in appdb.txt that run the desired application. If Use Apps File is not selected, then Xstart broadcasts to all hosts on the subnet. Using this method, you do not need a rupdb.txt file.
Browse AppsUses an application database file (appdb.txt) to get a list
of hosts to check. 109
Exceed Users Guide
Options
The following load optimization options are available:
Use Apps file specifies that Xstart uses rupdb.txt in conjunction with appdb.txt. In the Section name(s) box, type one or more section names
(separated by commas). These are defined in rupdb.txt. Each section name field can include just one section name or several section names (separated by commas). In the Timeout: ms box, set a timeout value from 0 up to 9999 milliseconds. If Broadcast was selected in the Method sub-tab, this time is the total time that Xstart will be waiting for answers from remote hosts. If other methods were selected, this time is the maximum time to wait for an answer from each host. The Remember Browse Information check box indicates whether Exceed remembers (caches) browse information. If not remembered, each browse reloads the selected applications file. If remembered, you can use the cached or locally saved list of applications and only refresh the browse from the source Once A Day (the default) or On A Manual Refresh (click Refresh in the Browse dialog box). Even if you select Once A Day, you can still use Refresh to update the information.
110
Host and Application Files

Host Address File
The hostsdb.txt file lists IP addresses and corresponding host names. For example:
123.45.67.89 boethius
This information affects which hosts Xstart browses.
Host List File

The rupdb.txt file lists hosts that are running an rpcd daemon that supports the rstatd service. This service is capable of running the rup command, which returns status information about the host, including the service load on the host. The rup command is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and the rpcd daemon handles all incoming RPCs. Xstart consults rupdb.txt when running Load Optimization by sending a rup RPC to each host in rupdb.txt to find the least busy one. You can use section names in rupdb.txt to associate applications with host names. The following syntax rules apply:

Lines beginning with # are comments and are ignored by the system. Section names are enclosed in square brackets [ ]. If you do not specify a name in the Section name(s) box, the system inserts the name [Default Section]. If you do not provide a name in the Section name(s) box on the Options sub-tab (Load Optimization tab), then the system inserts the name [Default Section] in the rupdb.txt file. You can use any combination of alphabetic characters, spaces, capitalization, and numbers in section names. If you want to list more than one application in section names, then separate them with commas. When you add the hosts, type only one host on each line. Host names may be in short or full form, for example, irix or irix.domain.com.
111
Exceed Users Guide
For example:
[xclock] onefish twofish [xterm] redfish bluefish
In this example, the hosts onefish and twofish support the xclock application; the hosts called redfish and bluefish support the xterm application. When you specify an application in the section, Xstart queries only those hosts following each section. This prevents Xstart from contacting a host that does not run the desired application.
Note: appdb.txt lists hosts that must be running rstatd. Therefore, the list of hosts in appdb.txt is a subset of the hosts listed in rupdb.txt, which is itself a subset of the hosts in hostdb.txt.
Application Database File

The appdb.txt file lists host names, application nicknames, and full path names for applications on remote hosts. Xstart uses appdb.txt to determine which hosts run a particular application. For example:
solaris/mailtool: /usr/bin/mailtool solaris is the host, mailtool is the application, and /usr/bin/mailtool is
the application path.
Creating an Xstart Shortcut

After you have saved Xstart settings as an Xstart (.xs) file, you can install a shortcut in the Windows Explorer that you can double-click to run the file. When Xstart installs a file as a shortcut, it uses the entry in the Description box on the Xstart dialog to name it. If this box is empty, it uses the file name (minus the extension) to name the icon.
112
1 2
On the File menu, click Install. In the Description drop-down list, select the location where you want to install the Xstart icon. If you do not specify a location, the icon is installed in the current program group (that is, the open folder in Windows Explorer). In the Files list, select the .xs file you want to install. To browse files in another directory, click Directory. Use the Select All and Deselect All buttons, if necessary. If you want to use an icon other than the default Xstart icon, click Change Icon. Choose an icon from the displayed icons or click Browse to locate another graphic file. When you are satisfied with the information in this dialog, click OK. The icon installs with your specifications.
Running the Xstart File

When you run an Xstart file, the following events take place: 1 2 3 If you clicked either the Prompt: Login Info or Prompt: Account Info option button, you are prompted to specify your login/account info. Exceed starts. The system retries the connection for the length of time specified in the Connect Timeout box on the Connection tab. After you have connected, the command specified in the Command box is sent to the host specified in the Host box. If the command starts a client, the client session begins. The initial socket closes after the length of time specified in the Close Timeout box. If the Show Host Reply check box in the Connection tab is selected, host or client messages are displayed in a window. You can copy text from this window to Clipboard.

Running the File from a Command Line

You can also open Xstart from a command line in the Windows Explorer Run dialog box. The command-line syntax is:
home\xstart [settings.xs][-m method] [-a type] [-h host] [-u userid] [-p password][-c command] [-l|-l-] [-t timeout] Note: Any parameters you specify after the settings.xs parameter overrides the settings in the .xs file.
The following table describes Xstart parameters:

Parameter Description This is the directory where Exceed is installed. This is the name of the Xstart startup file you want to run. You do not have to type the .xs extension. If the file name is preceded by a path, Xstart looks for the file in that directory. If no path is provided, the location of the Exceed user directory is assumed.
home settings.xs
-m method
This is the startup method, specified as one of the following: rexec, rsh, rlogin, pcx (for PCX$SERVER on DECnet), dterm (DECnet) or hrps. This specifies the program type and can be one of the following: xwin (for an X Window client) or term (for an application that does not require X and can be run using a VT terminal emulator). This is the host to which you want to connect. You can type either the host name or its network address. This is the login name you use to log on to the host. This is your password on the host. This is the command that you want to execute on the host. If your command contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotes (command).
-a type
-h host -u userid -p password -c command
114

home settings.ws
Using Xstart on VMS Systems

You can use Xstart on VMS systems by selecting the correct start method for your transport software and entering all of the required information in the Xstart window.
TCP/IP Transports
You can use Xstart on a VMS system running TCP/IP if your VMS system supports REXEC or RSH. You must create a script on the host containing the DISPLAY environment variable specification and the command to start the X client. You can then use REXEC or RSH to connect to the host and execute the script. If your VMS system supports REXEC or RSH, and it is running Version 4.0 of the PCX$SERVER command processor, start an application by choosing the REXEC or RSH start method and type the following in the command box:
@sys$system:pcx$server 4,display-number, screennumber,tcpip,node-address, command <CR>
For example:
@sys$system:pcx$server 4,0,0,tcpip, 2.10 DECW$TERMINAL <CR>
Otherwise, use Telnet to connect and start remote applications.
116
DECnet Transports
To use Xstart on a VMS system running DECnet, choose the PCX$SERVER (DECnet) startup method and, depending upon which version of the PCX$SERVER command processor you are using, type one of the following in the Command box:
By typing a command, you can select Version 2 of the PCX$SERVER command processor. For example,
DECW$TERMINAL
You can specify that you want to use Version 3 of the PCX$SERVER command processor by typing the following command:
3,transport,node-address,command
For example, to send the command DECW$TERMINAL to your node address 2.10 on DECnet, type the following:
3,DECNET,2.10,DECW$TERMINAL
You can specify that you want to use Version 4 of the PCX$SERVER command processor by typing a command as follows:
4,display-number,screen-number,transport, node-address,command <CR>
For example, to specify display number 0 and screen number 0, and send the command DECW$TERMINAL to your node address 2.10 via DECnet, you would type the following:
4,0,0,DECNET,2.10,DECW$TERMINAL
You can also use command field macros when specifying this information. For example:
4,@#,0,DECNET,@a,DECW$TERMINAL

Common Desktop Environment (CDE)

A handshake is an activity that keeps two computers or programs synchronized (such as the CDE display manager and the X protocol). It usually involves the exchange of messages or packets of data between two systems.
When you log into the UNIX host via the CDE display manager using XDMCP, a handshake implemented by the X protocol is employed. CDE does not begin unless it detects a supported PC X server (that is, Exceed). To start CDE: 1 2 Ensure CDE is configured properly on a UNIX host. Select a window mode in the Xconfig Window Mode Settings dialog box.
Note: If you select multiple window mode and you are using the Windows (Native) window manager, verify that the Cascade Window option is not selected.
3 4 5 6 7
Select XDMCP-broadcast in the Xconfig Communication Settings dialog box and clear the Select First Display Manager check box. Start Exceed. From the Display Chooser, select a UNIX host. After you make a selection from the chooser, the greeter opens. Log into the UNIX host. The CDE Session manager starts and the interface displays on your PC.
Using Desktop Environments for Linux

There are two types of X Graphical Desktop Environments in Linux. Depending on which one you chose when you installed Linux, either KDE or GNOME was set as the Default desktop.
GNOMEGNU Network Object Model Environment works with window managers such as Enlightenment, Sawmill, and Window Maker. KDEK Desktop Environment uses KWM as its window manager.
KDE and GNOME run on a Linux host and are displayed on the remote PC using standard X protocol. 118
Window Modes
A window mode determines the appearance of the X client windows on your PC. The window mode in which you operate depends upon your own preference. By default, the Exceed X server operates in multiple window mode and the window manager is configured to default to native.
To open the Screen page, open Xconfigfor Classic View, click the Screen Definition icon/text in the right panefor Category View, click the Display and Video icon/text.
To configure the PC screen to reflect the window mode, see Configuring X Screens on page 171.
Use Xconfig to select a window mode for the Exceed X serverSingle or Multiple:
Single window modePresents all clients in a single Exceed window. You can use any X window manager (local or remote) as your window manager.
Note: If you minimize the Exceed X server to an icon in this mode, active client windows are no longer visible.
For more inoformation, see Configuring Window Mode on page 173.
Multiple window modeEach client you start creates its own new window on your display. You can use either the Native (Microsoft Windows) or any X window manager (local or remote) as your window manager. 119
Exceed Users Guide
Using Window Managers

A window manager interprets requests or commands entered on the PC and sends them to the Exceed X server. The X server sends the request to the X application, and the application sends instructions to the Exceed X server to display. If you run an X window session without a window manager, you cannot perform window operations such as resizing, moving, and iconizing. Overlapping windows can make hidden parts of underlying windows inaccessible. Exceed uses two types of window managers: local and remote. Local window managers run on your PC, while remote window managers run on a remote host. Running Exceed with a remote X window manager generally increases network traffic and may decrease overall system performance. On the Xconfig Screen page, select a window manager type:

NativeRestricts you to using local managers. Local managers are
located on the Exceed X server.

XRestricts you to using remote managers. DefaultInstructs the system to use a remote manager if available, but otherwise use a local manager.
You can use any of the following window managers: HWM (local) Uses the Hummingbird Motif-like window manager. If you are running the Exceed X server in either single window mode or in multiple window mode (with one of the X or the Default To Native options selected), double-click its icon to run HWM. Microsoft Windows (local) Uses the Microsoft window manager on your PC. Windows automatically becomes the window manager when you select either the Native or Default to Native option in the Screen tab of the Screen Definition dialog box (with Multiple selected as the Window Mode). You cannot use Windows as your window manager in single window mode.
120
Remote X Window Managers Uses a window manager that resides on one of your hosts. You can use a remote window manager in multiple window mode (when either X or Default To Native as the Window Manager type).
Starting HWM or MWM

MWM is only available with Exceed XDK.
HWM and MWM are located in the Exceed Tools folder. To open one of these window managers, double-click the appropriate icon.
Starting Remote X Window Managers

Start X window managers in the same way that you start any X client in Passive startup mode. If you are running an XDMCP startup mode, the remote window manager is likely specified in the hosts startup file. To start a remote X window manager: 1 2 3 Connect to the remote host using any startup method such as Xstart, Xsession, or Telnet. Provide a User ID, password, and any other login information required. Type and execute the command to start the window manager.
Some typical window manager startup commands are listed below.

Window Manager DEC (UNIX) OpenLook AIX DEC (VMS) Motif (VMS) Startup Command Syntax1
[path/]dxwm& [path/]olwm& [path/]aixwm& [path/]SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NL RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$WINMGR <CR> [path/]SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NL RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$MWM <CR>
You must specify the DISPLAY environment variable or command line parameter so that the remote window manager knows which display it should use to connect.

Copying and Pasting

There are copy and paste commands on the Edit menu of most Exceed X windows applications. In most cases, these commands are the same as the copy and paste commands in other Windows applications. Exceed provides copy and paste commands that can bridge the gap between X applications and Windows applications. They let you copy and paste between X and Windows, and X applications. These commands are listed on the Exceed X server Edit menu. Typically, you may want to copy and paste data such as long path specifications, command lines, and sections of script files. To determine the copy or paste command you need, you may find it useful to think of the task in terms of the source and destination of the data. The copying and pasting procedure varies depending upon the source and destination.
If you are having difficulties with cutting and pasting data, ensure Clipboard contents appear in Clipboard (ClipBook) Viewer (on the Start menu, under the Accessories group).
The following sections describe copying and pasting procedures for the following scenarios:

Between Windows-based applications (for example, Microsoft Word, Notepad, Paintbrush, Telnet, Hummingbird Basic, Xstart, and so on). Between Windows-based applications and X clients displayed on your PC (that is, displaying to your Exceed X server). Between X clients displayed on your PC.
Using a Temporary Storage Buffer

The copying and pasting processes use a temporary buffer to hold data until it is cleared or replaced. This is similar to Windows Clipboard. The buffer being used depends upon whether you are running Windows applications or X applications.
If you are unsure, see your X client documentation.
The X selection an X client uses, and how it is used, depends upon the client. Most systems use the PRIMARY X selection, but other selections such as SECONDARY, CLIPBOARD, and CUT_BUFFER0 to CUT_BUFFER7 are also defined. Some clients can make use of more than one X selection.
122
To specify the X selection buffer: 1 2

For information on automatic copy and paste, see page 127.
Open Xconfig. For Classic View, click the X Selection icon/text in the right pane. For Category View, click the X Selection icon/text. On the X Selection page, select the correct buffer type, then click Validate and Apply Changes.
Copying and Pasting Data

For information on copying and pasting between X clients, see page 126. For more information, see the Help.
You can copy data to Clipboard, a file, or to the printer by using the methods listed below. If you copy and paste using the Clipboard, you can use csv and biff formats. You can paste data from Clipboard or from a file, using the Paste to X Selection from Clipboard and the Paste to X Selection from File commands on the server Edit menu.
Copying
Copy Rectangle to Copies a selected rectangle of the active X client window (multiple window mode) or the Exceed X server root window (single window mode). After you choose Copy Rectangle to, the cursor changes to a camera icon. To define an area to copy, click anywhere within the window and drag the mouse to define a rectangle. When you release the mouse button, the Exceed X server copies the selected rectangle to the destination specified by the selected command. Copy All to Copies all visible portions of the active X client window (multiple window mode) or the server root window (single window mode). Copy X Selection to

123
Exceed Users Guide
When you paste data from Clipboard to the X selection, Exceed assumes ownership for the X selection. You can then use the X client-specific method to paste X selection data into one or more X client windows (usually at the insertion point). If you are using the PRIMARY X selection, you can usually paste data into an X client window by clicking the middle mouse button.
Note: If you are using a two-button mouse, start Xconfig, select Middle Button Emulation on the Mouse Input dialog box, then click OK. This lets you emulate a middle mouse button by clicking both the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously. For more information, see Mouse Input Settings on page 151.
Paste to X Selection from File selection.
Pastes data from a specified file to the X
Copying and Pasting Graphics

Exceed lets you copy images from X to Clipboard. You can copy an entire window or a partial window by dragging a rectangle over the window.
For more information, see Installation Directories on page 22.
The servers also let you paste images from Clipboard into an X client. The method of pasting an image to X is based on ICCCM (Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual). For a technical description of the process, refer to seltest.doc, located in the Exceed installation directory.
Note: Many X clients support the copying and pasting of graphics to other X clients, but only through ICCCM X selections.
An example of copying and pasting images is supplied in a file named

seltest.c in Program Files\Hummmingbird\Connectivity\version\Info.
To build Seltest you must upload it to a host where an Xlib development environment is available. On a UNIX host compile Seltest as follows:
cc -o seltest seltest.c -lX11
where the library file libX11.a is on your path.
124
To copy images from Seltest to Clipboard:

You can find Clipboard (ClipBook) Viewer on the Windows Start menu, in the Accessories program group.
1 2
Clear the contents of Clipboard by selecting Delete from the Clipboard Viewer Edit menu. Select Clear X Selection on the server Edit menu if you are running in single window mode, or from the Edit menu on Seltest system menu if you are running in multiple window mode. This causes the server to give up ownership of the primary selection. Click the left mouse button in the seltest window. Seltest will request ownership of the primary selection and will associate the image it is displaying in its window with the primary selection. Select Copy X Selection on the server Edit menu if you are running in single window mode, or on the Edit menu (the Seltest system menu) if you are running in multiple window mode. This causes the server to ask the primary selection owner (Seltest) for the primary selection image data. The server copies the image to Clipboard. Display the Clipboard Viewer to verify the image was transferred from the Seltest client to Clipboard.
To paste images from Clipboard to Seltest: 1 2 3 4 Copy an image to Clipboard using an appropriate Windows application like Paintbrush. Run Exceed and ensure the X selection option on the server Options menu is set to primary. Run Seltest from an xterm or Telnet window as information is output to the standard output stream. Seltest initially displays an empty window. Select Paste To X Selection on the server Edit menu if you are running in single window mode or on the Edit menu on Seltest system menu if you are running in multiple window mode.
125
Exceed Users Guide
Click the right mouse button in the Seltest window. Seltest will request the current primary selection information and display all of the selection target types, if any, which are available in the xterm or Telnet window. If an image is available, it is displayed in the Seltest window. The amount of time it takes to display the image in the Seltest window varies depending on network load, image size, and color resolution, but should not be longer than 30 seconds in most cases.
Copying and Pasting Between X Clients

If two X clients running on your PC support the same X selection, you can copy and paste between these X clients.
Note: Copying and pasting between locales is supported if you set up the input properly on your PC. To do this, open Control Panel and adjust the settings in the Regional Settings application.
To copy and paste between X clients: 1 2 3 4 5 Place the data that you want to copy in the X selection buffer using the X client selection procedure. On the Exceed X server Edit menu, click Copy X Selection to Clipboard. This places a copy of the X selection in Clipboard. If necessary, start Xconfig, select the X selection type used by the destination client in the X Selection Settings dialog box, then click OK. Choose Paste to X Selection from Clipboard on the server Edit menu. Use the X client-specific method to paste the X selection data.
126
Automatic Copy and Paste

You can set your system to automatically copy and paste X selections. This saves time and is especially useful for high volume copying and pasting. To set copying and pasting of X selections as automatic: 1 2 3 Open Xconfig. For Classic View, click the X Selection icon/text in the right pane. For Category View, click the X Selection icon/text. On the X Selection page, select the following options, according to the automatic settings you want.
Select Auto Copy X Selection Copy On Focus Loss To do this Copy the contents of the X selection to the Clipboard. Copy the contents of the X selection to the Clipboard when the window containing the X selection is not in focus. Paste the contents of the Clipboard when the Clipboard contents change.

Creating a Universal Login

This feature lets you cache your password, so that during an Xstart session, you need login just once. The system caches the password until you either exit Exceed or manually empty the cache. For example, you may need to manually empty the cache if you are leaving your PC unattended for an long period of time. To create a universal login: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Create the Xstart file as usual. Refer to Creating a Startup File on page 101 for detailed instructions. In the Xstar t dialog box, click Other in the Settings area. Click the Remember Password tab. Provide the following informationHost, User ID, Password. Click the Remember Password drop-down list and select an option. Click OK.

To manually empty the password cache: 1 2 3 Open an Xstart file. Click Other, then click the Remember Password tab. Click Delete All. This empties the cache, so that the next time you run or create an Xstart connection, the system prompts you for your password.
Optimizing System Loads

This feature makes Xstart connections more efficient. When creating a connection using Xstart, you can indicate that the connection should be redirected to another host if the original host is already accommodating many connections. When you run the Xstart file, the system locates the host you specified. If that host is busy, the system finds the host best able to accommodate the connection, based on the search format you specified. To optimize loads on the hosts:

Running Multiple Xstart Sessions on One Host

When you create an Xstart file, you can put multiple commands in the Xstart Command box (in the Login area). This feature is useful for simultaneously starting X applications that you commonly use, such as expense reports, calendar, and mail applications. To use this feature, all of the X applications must reside on the same host.
Note: You may need to edit the command line to accommodate a particular host. For example, each command is separated by a semi-colon, but some UNIX hosts do not accept semi-colons.
Running Multiple Xstart and Wstart Sessions

To run multiple connections, create an Xsession file. Xsession lets you combine .xs files into one .ses file, to run multiple Xstart sessions on different hosts.
You can create different Xsessions to run different window managers simultaneously.
Xsession provides other useful options such as specifying a configuration file with your own settings, window modes, and startup modes. If you select these settings within Xsession, they override Xconfig settings. For more information on Xconfig settings, see Chapter 6: XconfigConfiguring Exceed on page 143.
Note: By default, all Xsession files are saved in the user directory where Exceed is installed, but you can specify another location. The .ses file extension is appended automatically.
The following sub-sections describe how to create and run an Xsession file.
134
Entering Startup Information

You may find it useful to create Xsession files that just start the X server with a specific startup mode and window mode. This lets you install custom icons to start the X server in different ways, to selectively override the default settings in Xconfig. The Xsession window is divided into two areas showing information for the session: an Available Programs box and a Included Programs pane.
Available Programs This box lists the file names and descriptions of all Xstart (.xs) and Wstart (.ws) files in the directory where Exceed is installed. To view files from another directory, click Directory.
For information on creating an Xstart or Wstart file, see Creating a Startup File on page 101.
If you have not already created a file that starts the X client or X application, click New Program and select the appropriate Program Type (either X Client or Windows App ). Then click OK. This opens Xstart, where you can create the required startup file. Session All programs that start when you run the current Xsession file are listed in the Included Programs box. The programs start in the order in which they are listed here. A button panel lets you manage files.
135
Exceed Users Guide
You can also remove file(s) from the Included Programs box. Click Remove All to remove all of the files in the list. Use Up and Down to re-arrange the list of files into the desired startup order. To use any of the buttons, select the file(s) in the Available Programs or Included Programs boxes that you want to change, then click the appropriate button. You can also add files by dragging and dropping them into the Included Programs box. Description In this box, type the description of the Xsession file. When you install an icon for this file, the text you enter in this box appears below the icon. You can type up to 40 characters. If you do not specify a description, Xsession uses the file name (minus the extension). Show On Session Startup Menu If this option is enabled, a command is created on the Session Star tup menu and Exceed launches the associated X session. To open the menu, select Session Star tup from the X server Tools menu, or the Exceed toolbar, or the Launch Pad X Apps menu. Run X Server If this is enabled, Exceed starts automatically when you run the Xsession file. Options If Run X Server is selected, then you can click Options and specify options in the X Server Options dialog box. Defaults are specified in Xconfig.
136
For more information about a specific option, click Help in the Server Options dialog box.
Interval This value (in seconds) specifies the time between the startup of each program listed in the Included Programs box. The default value is 2 seconds.
Running the Xsession

You can run an Xsession file in the following ways:
For more information on Xsession, see Running Multiple Xstart and Wstart Sessions on page 134. To troubleshoot a connection, Exceed Diagnostics on page 274 and Chapter 4: Connecting to Hosts and Running X Clients on page 97.
In Xsession, select an .xs file and click Run on the menu bar. In Xsession, click Run on the File menu. In the Run dialog box, specify an .ses file name (or multiple file names) and a directory, if necessary.
The Xsession File Sequence

This section describes the sequence of events when you run an Xsession session. Learning this sequence helps you troubleshoot your connections later on. 1 If Run X Server is selected and the X server was not previously started, the X server starts. If the X server is already running and you have selected the Prompt for Server Restart option, Xsession asks you if you want to restart the server. After the time interval specified in the Xsession file has elapsed, the first program listed in the Included Programs box starts. After each program starts, there is a pause corresponding to the specified interval. The next program starts. The files start in the order that they are listed.

Creating an Xsession Shortcut

After you save an Xsession (.ses) file, you can install a shortcut. To install an Xsession shortcut: 1 2 On the Xsession menu bar, click Install, or on the File menu select Install. In the Description drop-down list, select the name of the folder where you want to install the Xstart icon.
137
Exceed Users Guide
You can also type a new name to create a new program group. If you do not specify a folder, the icon is installed in the current folder (that is, the open folder in Windows Explorer). 3 In the Files box, select the .xs file you want to install. To browse files in another directory, click Directory. Use Select All and Deselect All, if required. If you want to use an icon other than the default Xstart icon, click
Change Icon. Select an icon from the displayed icons or click Browse to
locate another graphic. When you are satisfied with the information in this dialog, click OK. The icon installs with your specifications.
Running Multiple CDE Sessions

To run multiple CDE sessions with Xsession: 1 2 3 4 Open Xsession and click New Program. In the New Programs dialog box, select Windows App and click OK. In the Wstart window, type a description (such as CDEHostA) in the
Description box.
In the Command Line box, type parameters. For example:

exceed.exe -d l -m query -h host -w single
In this example, the following parameters apply:

-d 1 specifies the display number -m query specifies the startup mode -h host specifies the connect host -w single specifies the window mode
5 6 7 8
Click the Run button to test the session. If the session runs successfully, close it, then click Save on the Wstart File menu to save the Wstart setting file. On the File menu, click New. Repeat steps 3 to 6, except type a different description (suchas CDEHostB).
138
The Xsession window lists the saved files and descriptions under Available Programs.
10 Highlight a file or multiple files, and click Add. The selected files display under Included Programs. 11 On the File menu, click Save to save the Xsession file. 12 Click Install (on the menu bar) to create an icon. The next section contains more detailed information.
Multiple X Display Support

Support for multiple X displays is available. It lets users run multiple simultaneous copies of the Exceed X server (limited only by available memory and resources) as long as each copy has a unique display number. This feature is useful for users who want to establish multiple XDM (X Display Manager) sessions with different hosts. The following command line parameters are supported by the Exceed X server (Exceed.exe):
-d display# -f filename.cfg
where display# represents the desired display number from 0 to 9999 inclusive and filename.cfg is the configuration file name. The following command line parameters are optional:
-m [passive|query|indirect|broadcast] -h hostname -w [multiple|single]
where hostname represents the connect host for the XDMCP-query or XDMCP-indirect startup modes. For example, to start the Exceed X server in single window mode on display 1 with a startup mode of XDMCP-query to host xdmhost specify:
exceed.exe -d 1 -m query -h xdmhost -w single
139
Exceed Users Guide
For a particular command-line parameter, if you want the setting to default to its current Xconfig value in the exceed.xcfg configuration file, then omit its specification on the command line. The easiest way to startup multiple simultaneous copies of the Exceed X server is to use Xsession. In Xsession, you should clear the Run X Server option, add a New Program of type Windows App to the session for every copy of the Exceed X server in the session. For each Exceed X server in the session make sure either the command line is fully specified or the exceed.xcfg value is suitable, and ensure a unique display number is used. Enter the session description text in the Description box, save the session, and install a program shortcut to enable double-click startup of the session. The current implementation of multiple X display support has several restrictions or caveats. For example:
Since certain X displays might share the same configuration file, do not make changes to your configuration while the Exceed X server is running. Since only one X display can own the desktop/root window and the configuration file is shared, do not enable the following multiple window mode Xconfig settings if you are using the multiple X display feature: Root Mouse Actions to X and multiple screens. The Root Drawing option should be None. You can still use the Root Mouse Actions to X toolbar button, but ensure the setting is selected for only one X display at a time. Colormaps are not shared between X displays which may result in color flashing in 256 color video mode when you change the focus between windows which are on different X displays. Multiple copies of the Exceed X server cannot share a single log file. To solve this problem, the name of the log file in your configuration file is used to construct the log file name for each copy of the Exceed X server. This is done in the following manner: if the log file name in your configuration file is exceed.log then each copy of the Exceed X server will use a log file whose name is exceeddisplay#.log where display# is the display number of the Exceed X server.
140
To disable support for multiple X displays, set a value named DisableMultipleXDisplays to 1 (DWORD) for the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\ Exceed\XServer in the registry database.
Using Exceed on a Remote PC

X Web is also known as Broadway or X11R6.x
X Web lets system administrators provide user access to X applications from a remote PC. The application is designed to extend X to the Internet, intranet, and extranet without making any modifications to the existing base of UNIX or X applications. The system administrator embeds X application links on a web page for users to access from a remote PC. By using X Web, users can access X applications from a central location without having to know the UNIX host name, or be familiar with UNIX or X Windows system protocol. The system administrator does not need to re-code the applications to make them available, and can control user access. X Web (Broadway) includes the Low Bandwidth X (LBX) application, a transparent extension to the X server that compresses X protocol and uses server-side caching to cut down X server requests. Overall, LBX improves the performance of X on WANs and slow dial-up connections. To use LBX, you must install lbxproxy on the host to which you are connecting. To run X Web, only the browser and the X server need be Broadwaycompliant. However, each application on the UNIX server must now have three files associated with it:
Application-name.htmlthe page on which the URL resides. Application-name.rxAn RX document describing the X server resources the application needs. For example, a data modeling application might specify the OpenGL extensions of Exceed for 3D rendering; if the X server does not support these extensions, an error dialog pops up. Application-name.plthe CGI (Common Gateway Interface) script that launches the application.

Setting Up X Web
Complete the following general procedure to install and set up X Web. To set up X Web: 1 2 3 If you have not already done so, install Exceed. Exceed fully supports X11R6.6 (X Web). Ensure the UNIX host can compile X11R6.3 or higher and you have installed a web server. For each application on the UNIX server, install Applicationname.html, Application-name.rx, and Application-name.pl on the web server. These files are outlined above.

Chapter 6: XconfigConfiguring Exceed
About Xconfig
Xconfig includes applications for configuring the Exceed X server input, communication, video, protocol, security, window mode, performance, X selection, font, troubleshooting, and transport settings. In most cases, the default settings are sufficient. If the Exceed X server is running while you make changes to the configuration, the changes may take effect immediately or require a server reset, depending on the settings changed. If the change requires a server reset, a confirmation message appears. A server reset terminates all X clients. The default configuration file used by the Exceed X server is exceed.xcfg. It is located within the system directory where Exceed is installed for the user. For example, in Windows NT (for the current user):
c:\WINNT\Profiles\user name\Application Data\Hummingbird...
You can use Xconfig to make changes to exceed.xcfg and create other configuration files (using Save As on the File menu). To have the Exceed X server use a configuration file other than exceed.xcfg, you can either:

Use the Xsession X server options to specify the configuration file in a session startup file and enable the Prompt For Server Restart option. Specify /f and the full path to the configuration file on the Exceed X server command line.
Consult the Exceed Help to determine whether a particular configuration setting is global.
Certain settings, such as all security settings, are global to all configuration files. If you make a change to a global setting it changes in all configuration files.

Input Methods for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean

This icon appears in Xconfig only if you are running a CJK Windows operating system or Windows 2000/ XP (provided Microsoft IME is installed and enabled).
The CJK Input page lets you configure how to enter and pass Chinese, Japanese, or Korean (CJK) text to an X client.
The Exceed X server supports both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. To enter CJK text in an X client, you need to run an Input Method (IM) server. You can configure the Exceed X server to use either an external X client as the IM server or an IM server built into the X server. To use the Microsoft Windows Input Method Editor (IME) to enter text in an X client, you must configure Exceed to use an IM server built into the X server. You can select one of the following input methods to enter CJK text:

Select Use Input Server on the host to use an input method server X client. Select Protocol to use an Input Method Server built into the Exceed X server. Select Copy and Paste to use copy and paste commands to input CJK text.
155
Exceed Users Guide
Using an Input Method Server X Client

For information on the remote Input Method Server, refer to your host documentation.
The Use Input Method Server on the host option lets you enter CJK text using whatever mechanism the input method (IM) server X client supports. Select this option if you are using an external IM server X client. This means the Exceed X server will not support internal CJK input methods. This option does not permit the use of the Microsoft Windows IME to enter CJK text. The available IM Server X clients vary by host type. The following table shows the IM Servers typically available on specific host types:
Host Type HP Solaris Digital IM Server xkim/xjim/xsim/stim htt dxhangulim/dxhanyuim/dxhaziim/dxjim
Using an Input Method Server Built into the Exceed X Server

Select the Protocol option. The Exceed X server internally manages an Input Method Server and uses the Microsoft Windows IME to enter CJK text. When you enter text, the Exceed X server uses one of the selected protocols to pass text to the X client. The Exceed X server registers and manages an Input Method Server for each protocol selected in the Protocol Selection area. This means that you can enable multiple protocols, and each X client can use the protocol of its choice. We recommend that you enable all available protocols.
Specifying Locale (Ximp/XIM)

The Exceed X server supports most of the standard encoding names. In most cases, you do not have to specify the encoding name. However, if your X clients are running in a non-standard encoding environment, enter the appropriate locale name.
156
Using Copy and Paste to Input CJK Text

Select the Copy and Paste option. The Exceed X server does not register an Input Method (IM) Server when this option is selected. Instead, it uses the Microsoft Windows IME to enter CJK text, and rather than using an IM Server to pass text to the X client, it copies the text into the X selection and tries to paste the X selection CJK text into the X client. Exceed supports two copy and paste input methods. One is designed for Kterm and the other for OpenLook. Select the copy and paste method you want to use in the Use Environment area. If the CJK text is not automatically pasted into your X client, you need to use the X client Paste operation to paste the CJK text.
Special Considerations for Traditional Chinese

Because there is no standard encoding in Traditional Chinese environments, Exceed can support only one encoding name at a time. By default, the Exceed X server supports the HP-BIG5 (HP Traditional Chinese Environment) encoding. If you want to use the BIG5-0 (Digital Traditional Chinese Environment) encoding instead, you need to make changes to the Exceed initialization file and the xlc_locale file. To input Traditional Chinese using the BIG5-0 (Digital Traditional Chinese Environment) encoding: 1 Open the exceed.ini file in the directory where Exceed is installed and add the following line under the [Options] heading:
BIG5EncodingName=BIG5-0 Note: Remove this line to input Traditional Chinese in an HP environment (HP-BIG5).
Open the xlc_locale file on your PC and make the following changes: a) under the heading fs1, modify as follows:

# used for HP-UX # charset HP-BIG5:GLGR
157
Exceed Users Guide
# used for Digital UNIX charset

BIG5-0:GLGR
b) under the heading cs1, modify as follows:

# used for HP-UX # ct_encoding

HP-BIG5:GLGR:\x1b\x25\x2f\x30\x80\x8aHP-BIG5\x02
# used for Digital UNIX ct_encoding

BIG5-0:GLGR:\x1b\x25\x2f\x32\x80\89BIG5-0\x02

Configure Opens the XDMCP Startup Modes dialog box where you can configure additional XDMCP settings. Display Number Specifies which port is being monitored by the server for new clients. The default display number is 0. Change the default only if you are using a transport gateway product that shares a single network node address among all PC network users. In this case, your system administrator may ask you to change the value in this field.
Note: If you are using an IPX/SPX transport, ignore this field.
160
Setting the Sequence of Events

The startup mode determines the sequence of events that occur when you start the Exceed X server, including whether a host connection occurs automatically. There are two basic types of startup modes: Passive and XDMCP. The mode you use depends on your transport, host, and preferences. Passive Mode If you intend to use Telnet, Xstart, Xsession, or a remote process to connect to a host and start an X client, you should select Passive from the Modes drop-down list. This startup mode lets you start the Exceed X server without making any initial attempt to connect to a specific host. XDMCP Modes The XDMCP (X Display Manager Control Protocol) modes lets you automatically activate the XDM connection process. After you start the Exceed X server, and successfully login to XDM, the clients listed in the XDM session script file are started. XDM lets you manage X displays. It allows for centralized control over the X environment and provides an added measure of security. XDM provides an X-based login function and generates authorization information that can be used by the Exceed X server to control which users on which hosts may be given access to an Exceed X server display. If you use an XDMCP startup mode, you do not need a separate startup application to start X clients (that is, Xstart, Xsession, or Telnet). However, you may use these applications to start additional X clients.

Transports Settings
Transports
The Transports page lets you make all transport-related settings used by the Exceed X server and local X clients. The page also provides information about how to install and configure each of the transports supported by Exceed. If you have previously selected the XDMCP broadcast mode, you can define the broadcast address here.
If you installed multiple transport interfaces during setup, to switch transport interfaces, click Choose and select the correct interface. This lets you use a different transport with Exceed.
Broadcast Address Lets you specify the IP address to which packets to be broadcast are sent. By default, the broadcast address is 255.255.255.255. This address represents a broadcast to the entire network. Most TCP/IP transport implementations support this broadcast address. To broadcast on the local network, this address must consist of the network portion of your IP address with a host portion numeral set to 1 (binary). For example, if your IP address is 192.9.200.6 (a Class C address), the network portion of the address is 192.9.200. For more information regarding broadcast address specification, consult your TCP/IP network software documentation. Keep Alive Choose 162 Select this box if your host supports TCP/IP keep-alives.
Opens the Transport Chooser dialog box.

Use the Security page to restrict access to specific Exceed components.
Enabling and Disabling Host Access

Use the following options on the Security page to modify host access on your system. 163
Exceed Users Guide
Host Access Control List This area on the Security page lets you restrict access to your Exceed X server to specific hosts. By default, the Host Access Control List is the xhost.txt file, in the directory where the Exceed user directory is installed.
Note: If you select the xhost.txt file, you can use only the Passive startup mode in the Communication dialog box.
Specify another file through one of the following methods:

Type its full path (if other than the directory where the Exceed user directory is installed) and file name in the File box. Locate it by clicking Browse adjacent to the File box. Modify the Host Access Control List file in a text editor by clicking Edit.
Enabled (no host access) Instructs Exceed to use an empty Host Access Control List to regulate access. With an empty list, no hosts are allowed access. Disabled (any host access) Terminates the use of the Host Access Control List and allows unrestricted access to all hosts on the network. Allow Clients to Modify Host Access Control List This setting regulates client modification of the Host Access Control List (xhosts.txt). Enable User Access Control List Lets you enable security at the user level (rather than at the host level) without using XDMCP. By default, this setting is not selected. For optimal security when using this option, clear the Allow Clients to Modify Host Access Control List check box and select an option in the Host Access Control List area.
Creating a Security File

User level security is controlled through an Xauthority file (by default .xauth) that is read each time the server is started or reset. You can create an Xauthority file using the host-based Xauth utility. To make this binary file available to Exceed, download it from the host and copy it to the directory where the Exceed user directory is installed. To select an Xauthority file other than the default xauth file, click Browse.
164
Unauthorized X Client Connections

Warn X Client Connection Attempt Displays a warning dialog box whenever a new X client tries to connect. This lets you prevent unwanted X applications from displaying on the Exceed X server while in passive mode.
Modifying Xweb Settings

You can use Xweb security settings to control running X clients from web sites, either independently or embedded within the browser. Select from the options described below. Security Policy File This file lets you specify certain restrictions on clients. Each line in the Security Policy text file starts with a keyword:
#Lines starting with this symbol are treated as comments. sitepolicyLines starting with this keyword are used to specify or
name the policies that Exceed X server supports. These lines are characterized by a specific syntax: a collection of alphanumeric characters designed to match a similar collection in the configuration file of a firewall proxy.
propertyLines starting with this keyword are used to assign permissions to untrusted clients regarding access to window properties.
For more details about property access rules and keyword syntax, see the various comment lines in the security.txt file (click Edit in the X Web area of the Security dialog box).
The syntax of property keyword lines are as follows:

Keyword property window propertyselector permissions operation action Syntax The property name, such as, RESOURCE_MANAGER, WM_NAME, CUT_BUFFER0. The rule is applied to all windows. The rule is applied only to the root window. The rule is applied to windows having the specified property. Denotes read, write, and delete respectively. Denotes allow, ignore, and error respectively.
165
Exceed Users Guide
In many cases, errors in the security policy file can cause applications to terminate, or even crash. The alternative is to specify ignore as the action, in which case, the operation is not carried out, but returns success. Plug-in/Helper App Configuration Files The corresponding Edit buttons open Notepad with the respective configuration file loaded. This is the only place you can edit configuration files. If you edit them outside of Xconfig, the system returns a warning or error message, and ignores the configuration files.

Pad Depth 1 Pixmaps to 32 Bits Forces the Exceed X server to pad scanlines in monochrome bitmaps to a multiple of 32 bits instead of 16 bits. Some X clients require this setting in order to draw properly. If your X client draws images incorrectly resulting in aliasing (lines having a staggered or staircase-like effect), try enabling this setting. Use 32 Bits Per Pixel for TrueColor Forces the Exceed X server to use 32 bits per pixel instead of 24 bits when using the TrueColor visual. Some X clients require this setting in order to draw properly. If your X client draws images incorrectly resulting in a scrambled image, enable this setting. By default, this setting is enabled. Disabling this setting may result in an improvement in the performance of your Exceed X server; however, your images may draw incorrectly as a result. In that case, re-enable the setting. Enable Custom Vendor String Lets you specify the vendor string that is passed to clients at connection time (in the connection block). If your client requires a specific vendor string, select Enable Custom Vendor String , type the Vendor String in the box, and click OK.

Root Size Lets you set the size (in pixels) of the server root window. You can make the root window larger than your screen. The maximum root window size is 4096 by 4096 pixels. A width or height of zero implies the root size will be equal to the size of your screen. For certain applications to run, you may need to make the root size larger than your screen.
The server reset options and Close Warning on Exit option are located on the Common Settings tab of the Screen dialog box.
Enable Server Reset, Exit On Server Reset Located on the Common Settings page, this option resets the Exceed X server when the last client connection is closed. This option is enabled by default. When you enable this option, you can also enable Exit On Server Reset. This option lets you terminate the Exceed X server when the last client connection is closed. Close Warning on Exit Exceed displays a warning message whenever you close a client window or choose a command that shuts down the server. This message prompts you to confirm or cancel the action.
These options are located on the Screen tab of the Screen dialog box.
Multiple Window ModeSpecific Options

Root Size Lets you set the size (in pixels) of the server root window. You can make the root window larger than your screen. The maximum root window size is 4096 by 4096 pixels. A width or height of zero implies the root size will be equal to the size of your screen. For certain applications to run, you may need to make the root size larger than your screen. Window Manager Lets you select the window manager in Multiple Window Mode. You can select one of the following from the drop-down list:
Window Manager Native X Description Microsoft Windows is used as the window manager. Any local or remote X window manager is used as the window manager. Since window managers do not start by default, you must start the window manager. By default, the native window manager (Microsoft Windows) is used. However, if a local or remote X window manager is started, it replaces Windows. After the X window manager is closed, Windows becomes the window manager again.
Default To Native
174
If you are using an X window manager and want to display the X window manager menus, select the Root Mouse Actions To X option in the Advanced Multiple Window Mode Settings dialog box. By selecting this option, you can click the Windows desktop to access the X window manager menus. Normal Windows desktop mouse actions do not work when this mode is enabled.

These options are located on the Screen tab of the Screen dialog box.
Single Window ModeSpecific Options

Root Size Lets you set the size (in pixels) of the server's root window. In single window mode, you can make the size of the root window smaller (that is, if you have a high resolution display and want to restrict the size of the server window) or larger than your screen. 175
Exceed Users Guide
A width or height of zero implies the root size will be equal to the size of the client area of a maximized window when the Exceed X server menus appear on the Control menu (that is with no menu bars or scroll bars). If you make the root size larger than the client window, you can use the Panning feature or scroll bars to view any hidden parts of the root. The root size group box also lets you enable Full Screen. This option sizes the Exceed X server window to the size of the entire screen. To open the server menu when you select Full Screen, select Panning . To open the server menu when you select Full Screen, press the ALT key and then the spacebar. The ALT key you press depends on your ALT key mapping. Show Scroll Bars Lets you display scroll bars in the Exceed window. Scroll bars let you view hidden portions of the server root window when the Root Size option makes it larger than the workspace. Save Geometry on Exit Saves the server window geometry (that is, its window position, size, and state) when you exit Exceed. When you restart Exceed, the options are restored.
Common Settings
The Common Settings page contains the following list box and check boxes: Native Window Manager Focus Policy Lets you choose whether a window has focus while the pointer is pointed only at the window or whether you need to click in the window.

Exceed Multiple Sessions

The options you select in this area are reflected in the Exceed - Multiple Sessions dialog box after you validate and apply changes. Do not Prompt for Multiple Sessions If enabled, Exceed does not open the Exceed - Multiple Sessions dialog box when other instances of Exceed are run. Run Multiple Sessions Runs multiple instances of Exceed. If the Do not Prompt for Multiple Sessions check box is cleared, the Exceed - Multiple Sessions dialog box prompts you to select options for each session.
Monitor Information
Xconfig automatically determines the total resolution of all monitors and displays it on the Monitor Info page. For example, if you have one monitor set at a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, the total resolution is 800 x 600; if you have two monitors next to each other set at 640 x 480 pixels, the total resolution is 1280 x 480.
Note: For Windows NT, Exceed supports only those monitor configurations where all monitors are set to the same resolution (width, height, and color format). For example, if one monitor is set to 640 x 480 pixels with 256 colors, all monitors must be set to 640 x 480 pixels with 256 colors. For Windows Me/98/2000/XP: Exceed supports monitor configurations where all monitors do not require the same resolution (width, height, and color depth). For example, if one monitor is set to 640 x 480 pixels with 256 colors, other monitors can be set to a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels with 32768 colors.
The Resolution of a Single Monitor setting lets Exceed determine the number of monitors you are using and their orientation. If your monitors form a uniform perfect tile over your Windows desktop, you can set the width and height values of this setting to the width and height of a single monitor. In this configuration, you can also set the width and height values of this 177
Exceed Users Guide
setting to values that (when tiled left to right and top down) exactly match the total resolution of all monitors in sixteen tiles or less. Using this technique, you can configure Exceed to treat multiple physical monitors as a single monitor, or you can configure Exceed to treat a portion of a physical monitor as a single monitor. For example, if you have one physical monitor with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, you can configure Exceed to treat it as four monitors next to each other (in a row) by setting the Resolution of a Single Monitor width to 200 and height to 600. If you have two physical monitors next to each other, each with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels for a total resolution of 1600x600 pixels. You can configure Exceed to treat them as a single monitor by setting the Resolution of a Single Monitor width to 1600 and height to 600. The Resolution of a Single Monitor width and height setting can also be set to 0. For Windows NT, if you set these values to 0, you are configuring Exceed to treat the entire Windows desktop (Total Resolution of All Monitors) as a single monitor. For Windows 98/2000/XP, you must set these values to 0 if your monitors do not form a uniform perfect tile over your Windows desktop. If you set these values to 0, Exceed queries the operating system to determine your monitor configuration and orientation.
178
Video Settings
Video
Video lets you customize the video mode and colors displayed by the Exceed X server. You can set the width and height of the your monitor, associate names with red-green-blue values in an RGB database and specify the icon defaults for native window manager mode.
Preserve System Colors Exceed attempts to preserve Windows system colors in newly created colormaps for as long as possible. By default, this setting is selected. Pre-allocate System Colors in Default Colormap Exceed initializes the default X colormap with the Windows system colors in the first and last ten color cells. If you do not select this setting, Exceed initializes the default X colormap with:
Color Cell 0 Color Cell 1 Black White
If you are running an X client that requires white in Color Cell 1, disable this setting. By default, this setting is enabled.
179
Exceed Users Guide
This option is available only for Windows 98.
Enable System Pixels X applications expect to be able to change color 0 and 255 in application-allocated color maps when using a PseudoColor visual. Windows does not typically let applications change these color cells. An application that attempts to place a color other than black in color 0 or white in color 255 may not display the intended colors. This setting enables Exceed logic that removes this limitation.
Screen
Specify In mm-Lets you adjust the screen size using the Width and Height text boxes. Width and height define the viewable portion of the screen in millimeters (1 inch equals 25.4 mm). If either of these fields is 0, the server uses the values returned by the Windows display driver. Because most X clients ignore the screen width and height data, the default values of 0 are sufficient in most cases. Compute Based On Monitor DPI (dots per inch) Calculates the screen size based on the monitor dots per inch. Defaults are 75 and 100.
Palette
Defer Changes Determines whether palette changes are deferred to increase performance. The output of some applications may flash excessively if this option is not selected. Optimize Colormaps To Reduce Flashing On Focus Change Determines how the Exceed X server interacts with the Windows color palette. Select this option to try reducing flash when changing focus from one window to another.
RGB Database
Associates text names with the Red, Green, and Blue values displayed on your monitor. The RGB Database is the file in the User directory. To open the database in a text editor, click Edit. Select the appropriate keyboard file in the list or click Browse to select a file from another directory.

User Installed Colormaps Use in pseudo color emulation mode only (select PseudoColor from the Server Visual drop-down list on the Screen page and select TrueColor in Windows' video settings). Exceed can emulate colormaps when in PseudoColor emulation mode. Most applications set each window to a certain colormap. For these applications, this option should be cleared. However, some applications (incorrectly) assume only one colormap is visible at any time. When this option is selected, windows that have requested the default colormap will use the installed colormap (via the InstallColormap protocol request) instead. 2D Overlay Treats the 2D overlay window as if it were placed on the main layer. This option avoids unnecessarily having to recalculate and redraw all windows on the main layer if the 2D overlay window were repositioned.

Font Servers
Synchronous Operation Font server requests are completely processed before Exceed continues servicing X clients. This option should be selected only for troubleshooting. By default, other X clients are serviced while an X client is waiting for the response from the font server. Timeouts (secs.) Specify the read and write timeout values (from 0 through 999) for font servers. By default, the read timeout is 30 seconds and the Write timeout is 5 seconds. After timeout, Exceed assumes the font server is no longer available and closes the connection. If the timeout is too short, delays caused by network traffic might cause Exceed to unnecessarily disconnect from the font server. If the timeout is too long and the font server is unavailable, an excessive delay occurs before Exceed closes the connection. Default values favor a reliable connection, not the quick response. If the timeout is set for a quick response, the Enable Auto Reopen option should be selected. Enable Auto Reopen Select this option to keep the font server available (active) at all times. This option requires your system to periodically check the font server and restart it, so it slows your system. Enable Cache Select this option to automatically obtain or update a font cache on your local drive. This option is enabled by default. Local Fonts First Select this option to search local fonts first select this option. Usually, the search priority is from top to bottom in the font database list.
Default Resolution for Scalable Fonts

From the drop-down list, select a resolution. Exceed uses this value to calculate font size in pixels. This is useful where the X client specifies size of a requested font in points but does not specify the resolution. If this value is set to zero, then the resolution is defined automatically by the screen resolution.
Other Options
Automatic Font Substitution Substitutes the closest matching font for any font request that cannot be filled and would otherwise result in an error.
188
Optimize for Java VM This option limits the behavior of Exceed to that acceptable by Java applications (Java applications are more restrictive than X applications).
Creating Font Aliases

In some cases, X clients may request a font not included in the database. The server responds by issuing a Font not available error message and logging the logical name or search pattern of that font in the log file. You can use a font alias to link the requested font to an existing font with similar characteristics. After you create the font alias, clients can request the previously denied font so that the server can deliver the font alias.
Note: Check the log file regularly for denied font requests.
To create a font alias: 1 In Xconfig, do one of the following:

2 3 4
On the Font page, click Edit. The Font Database dialog box opens. Click Font List. The Font List dialog box opens. Click Search to find an existing font resembling the requested font pattern. If you do not find one in this directory, try another directory until you find one that you consider a reasonable match. Click Make Alias. Type the font name in the box. If the font name is on the Clipboard, click Paste. Click OK.
5 6 7
The font alias appears immediately below the logical font name in the second column of the Font List dialog box.

Maximizing System Performance
Performance
The Performance page lets you adjust the amount of Microsoft Windows system resources used by the Exceed X server to enable various performance-related drawing techniques. It also lets you tune the Exceed X server for optimal graphics performance for your current video configuration.
System Resource Usage

This slide bar displays the amount of total system resources allocated for use by the Exceed server. To reduce resources available to the Exceed server, slide the bar towards Limited. This lets resource-intensive X clients execute without exhausting system resources. However, limiting server resource usage may reduce server performance.
192
Drawing
Exact Zero-Width Lines To force exact line drawing for zero-width lines, select this option. By default, the Exceed server lets Microsoft Windows directly draw zero-width lines. This method is generally much faster than the exact pixel algorithm used by X to draw lines of other widths.
Note: Some video drivers ignore color information on some styles of zero-width line drawing. You should select this option if lines appear in an incorrect color, or do not appear at all.
Draft Mode Lets you improve performance through a slight and generally unnoticeable reduction in drawing accuracy. By default, this option is turned on. Maximize X11Per Results If enabled, Exceed passes X conformance tests. Use this option only if you are performing X conformance testing. Batch Requests performance. Batches X client requests to improve overall server
Save Unders Lets you save parts of a window that become obscured by menus/windows in the foreground to system memory. The option eliminates the need to refresh the window when the menu rolls back up. The system ignores this check box if the Maximum Backing Store box is set to None. Backing Store Refers to storing the information required to refresh the screen from the client in server memory. Backing store options let you specify the circumstances under which you want backing store to occur. Either the client requests a specific backing store, or the client leaves the type of backing store to the server. You can specify a maximum and a default backing store value. Maximum governs when the client requests a type of backing store, and the default governs when the client leaves the backing store setting to the server. The following backing store settings are available:
NoneNever save the contents of the client window.

Exceed Users Guide
When MappedBacking store is provided to all mapped windows. The
storage of screen information only occurs when the client draws the screen in mapped mode.
AlwaysAlways attempt to preserve the contents of any window, whether it is mapped or not, as long as it is displayed on the Exceed X server. This option is available only for maximum.
Tune Starts the Xperf application. Xperf lets you override the current drawing methods used by the server and run tests to determine the optimal graphics configuration for your Exceed server. Before running Xperf, terminate all X clients since Xperf automatically terminates and restarts the server. If the server is already running, Xperf prompts you to confirm a server reset.
Note: If you change video cards, drivers, your video configuration, or the Accelerated Drawing Mode setting in the Performance Settings dialog box, run Xperf to ensure optimal server performance.

Trace
The Trace group box lets you enable or disable any of the following: Trace Initially On Do not select the Trace Initially On setting unless you want to trace the dialog between the server and the first client. When you select this option, the trace starts when the server does, and all dialog between the server and the first client, including XDM, is traced.
Note: Select this setting only when absolutely necessary: it severely degrades server performance. Do not forget to clear this setting after performing your trace.
The trace file is output to the User directory with a .trx filename extension. You must disassemble these trace files into a readable format using Xdis before you can read its contents. Slow Trace Lets you trace situations even when the server hangs. If the server hangs and the PC must be rebooted, the current trace file is likely unavailable; this setting lets you compensate for this situation.

Chapter 7: System AdministrationInetd and Inetd Admin
Introducing Inetd
Inetd is a super server that lets you enable and disable various daemon services through a single application. It determines the network services to which your PC responds when a client makes an incoming network request. Instead of running separate server applications for each service, Inetd conserves workstation resources by monitoring connection attempts in the background and starting the appropriate daemon when it receives a network request. You can enable or disable daemons to accommodate your local requirements. For example, you can use FTPd to distribute corporate files from a server. Clients would connect to the server and use FTP to download the files. The Inetd daemon is based on asynchronous notification. It uses no CPU time and only a small amount of memory when waiting for incoming requests.
Note: With Windows NT, if you create a TelnetAccess or FTPAccess groups in the user administration program, the NT user must be a member of these groups to access the machine using Telnet or FTP . No security check is performed if the group does not exist, and access is allowed for every NT user account.
In Windows 98/Me environments, Inetd runs automatically when placed in the Startup folder. In Windows NT/2000/XP environments, Inetd is installed as a service.
Note: The Inetd daemon is installed in the Control Panel during Setup.
203
Exceed Users Guide
TCP and UDP Servers

Inetd handles both TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) servers. TCP Inetd simultaneously monitors connection requests on multiple ports. When it detects a request, it starts the appropriate daemon and screens the user. UDP Inetd monitors the UDP port for packets. When it detects packets, it uses the port number to link the packet flow to an enabled daemon. The connection is refused if no daemon is enabled, or if permission is denied to the UDP user/password.
Maintaining System Security

Users that connect to your drives and directories using the Inetd services are restricted to file access based on the permission you assign.
Security for Windows 98/Me

With Windows 98/Me, you assign permissions using the Inetd Admin application. Inetd Admin is an administration tool designed to control access to your files and resources. When remote users on the network try to log onto your PC via the Inetd server programs, Inetd Admin screens them and determines the level of access. To allow anonymous FTP access to your PC via the FTP daemon, you must set up an anonymous user account in Inetd Admin. For more information on Inetd Amin, see Administering Daemon SecurityInetd Admin on page 224.
204
Security for Windows NT/2000/XP

Windows NT/2000/XP supports NTFS, FAT, and HPFS file systems. Of these, only NTFS provides access control at the file and directory level.
NTFS
Users that link NTFS drives and directories by means of the Inetd services are restricted to file access according to Windows NT/2000/XP permissions. To set NTFS file security: 1 2 3 4 5 Select one or more files in My Computer. On the File menu, click Properties. The Properties dialog box opens. Click the Sharing tab. Click Permissions. The Access Through Share Permissions dialog box opens. Specify the appropriate security options. See your Windows NT/2000/ XP documentation for details on setting file security.
If you have enabled FTPd and/or Telnetd, also consider:
For FTP, if you create an FTPAccess group in the user administration program, the Windows NT/2000/XP user must be a member to access the machine using FTP. No check is performed if the group does not exist; access is then allowed for every Windows NT/2000/XP user account. For Telnet, if you create a TelnetAccess group in the user administration program, the Windows NT/2000/XP user must be a member of the group to successfully access the machine using Telnet. No check is performed if the group does not exist; access is then allowed for every Windows NT/2000/XP user account.
205
Exceed Users Guide
FAT and HPFS

FAT and HPFS drives do not allow you to set user-access rights, setting the drive to write access allows all users to write to it. Granting all users writeaccess could leave your drive vulnerable. If you have FAT or HPFS local disk drives, consider the following when determining whether to allow remote users to have access to your local machine using FTP or Telnet.
FTP The FTP daemon (FTPd) lets you set read and write permissions to restrict users access to FAT and HPFS volumes. If you do not want users to have access to FAT or HPFS drives, do not include them in the -r, -w, or -rw parameters. If you do want users to have access to these drives, exercise caution when setting parameters. For more information, see FTPd (File Transfer Protocol Daemon) on page 209. The server application, Telnetd, cannot restrict incoming users to a particular local disk drive. If you have a FAT or HPFS drive on your machine, and you enable Telnet access over the network, incoming users have unrestricted access to that drive. This means they could potentially delete all files. There are two solutions to this problem: Use only NTFS file systems on your computer. If you have FAT or HPFS disk volumes, do not enable Telnet access over the network. For more information, see Telnetd on page 213.

BOOTPd (Windows NT/2000/XP)

BOOTPd lets client workstations using Bootstrap Protocol request their configuration information. If a client machine is configured for BOOTP, a BOOTP request is broadcast over the network each time the machine starts. The BOOTP request contains the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the machine (physical hardware address). When BOOTPd is enabled, BOOTPd responds to requests if the clients MAC address is found in the Bootptab configuration file. The possible responses are as follows:
Response Using UDP Using Hummingbird TCP/IP Using another vendors TCP/IP Description BOOTPd sends a BOOTP reply to the client on UDP port 67. BOOTPd sends a BOOTP reply directly to the client machine. BOOTPd sends a BOOTP reply as a broadcast response.
To use BOOTPd you must fulfill the following requirements:
HomeThe directory in which the software is installed.
Enable BOOTPd in Inetd on at least one machine in the network. It is best to enble BOOTPd on several machines so that if one machine fails to respond, the configuration information is still available for other machines on the network. Create a bootptab configuration file in the home directory. You must use the same file on all machines running BOOTP.
All incoming BOOTP requests are written to the bootpd.log file in the home directory.
Comparison with RARP

The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP), also lets a client determine its IP address when the MAC (Media Access Control) address is known. The difference between RARP and BOOTP is that RARP is a hardware, link-level protocol instead of an IP/UDP protocol. This means that RARP can be implemented only on local hosts on the same subnet.
208
Fingerd
Fingerd lets remote users query the state of your systems current configuration. If the remote user requests a long listing, Fingerd also displays the contents of the plan.hcl and project.hcl files from:
%System%\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\Inetd
where:
%System% for Windows 98/Me is Windows\System, for Windows NT/ 2000/ is Winnt\System32, and for Windows XP is Windows\System32 version is the version number of your Hummingbird product
The plan.hcl file typically contains your contact information (phone number, address, e-mail, and so on), while the project.hcl file typically contains information on your function or current project.
FTPd (File Transfer Protocol Daemon)

For Windows NT/2000/XP , You can grant anonymous FTP access using your operating systems user manager. For more information, see Inetd Help. For Windows 98, you can use Inetd Admin. For more information, see Granting Anonymous FTP Access on page 230.
FTPd handles incoming requests to transfer files between other computers and your own. Many Internet nodes contain files that are generally available through anonymous FTP. When an FTP transfer is requested, the program checks for a user ID and password, and the users access rights on the various server drives before forwarding the request to FTPd. FTP requires the services of the TCP protocol to move files. Do not select UDP in the Daemon Configuration dialog box for this service.

To specify FTP configuration options: 1 2 Create a file named ftpd.ini. To specify a timeout period, type the following in the file:
[Inactive] TimeOut=n
where n is the maximum number of seconds of inactivity after which FTPd closes a connection. If n is less than or equal to 0, the timeout feature is disabled. 3 To display a banner, type the following in the file:
[Custom] Banner=BannerText
where BannerText is the text banner you want to display. This entry sends the file.txt before the login prompt. 4 Save the file in the following directory:
%system%\HUMMINGBIRD\Connectivity\version\Inetd

LPD
LPD (Line Printer Daemon) lets other workstations send print files directly to your PC printer or to a network print queue on your PC. Print options are not directly configurable under Inetd, but if you want to let users print host files to your PC printer, you must define your default printer. See your Windows documentation for information about setting up the default printer. Depending on the remote host from which you want to print, you may need to define an entry for the printer in the /etc/printcap file on the remote host or create a printer queue with the appropriate host administration tools.
211
Exceed Users Guide
To configure the LPD program to use an existing printer, you must configure the remote host to send print jobs to a queue. The printcap file on the remote host links the local queue name (the name of the machine to which the local PC sends print requests) to the remote queue name (the machine where the files are actually printed). For example, a user sends a print job to the queue hpjohn. The printer is actually called hplaser and it is connected to a remote machine named john. The remote host might have a printcap entry that links these two queue names, like this:
HPJOHN|printer:\ :in:ttl:rp=dos-hplaser:ih=JOHN
On the remote system the queue names for the PC are defined in the form queueformat-printername, where queueformat is one of the following:
dos(ff )If is DOS, the file is printed without modification. If xxx
ends in FF, a form feed is appended to the job if one is not already present.
unix(ff)If xxx is UNIX, linefeeds are converted to carriage returns and linefeeds. If xxx ends in FF, a form feed is appended to the job if one
is not already present.

text(ff)If xxx is TEXT, the output is rendered. This is usually used for printing text files directly to PostScript printers. If xxx ends in FF, a
form feed is appended to the job if one is not already present.

Note: Some systems have a limit on the number of characters in the remote queue name. Thus, if unixff-printer-name is too long, use shortened prefixes (D, DF, U, UF, and T). Also, some systems do not allow a dash character in the remote queue name. For these systems, use an underscore character instead.
212
Telnetd
Telnetd is a Telnet server that lets Telnet clients make connections to your PC. Users can connect using the Hummingbird Telnet client, a graphical VT100/320 terminal emulator application, or any VT100 Telnet client. If you are using NFTS in a Windows NT/2000/XP environment, the user must have an account on the Windows system, and have appropriate permissions in the Windows security system. Users are restricted to the protection and access rights specified by the system administrator for each of the Windows machines, drives, directories, and files.
Note: If the user administration program has the group TelnetAccess, the user must be a member to successfully access your workstation. No check is performed if the group does not existaccess is then allowed for every user account.
Optional Parameters (Windows 98/Me)

The following optional parameter is available for Telnetd:
- p password_file
where password_file is the full path and file name of the password file you are using. By default, the password file is called password.hcl in the system directory (for Windows 98/Me is Windows\System).
Note: The password file is empty until you modify it with Inetd Admin.
Xstartd
Xstartd is the local X client starter daemon. When Xstartd is enabled, other users can access X clients on your PC. They can connect to your PC and start X clients by using their Xstart application and the REXEC or RSH connection methods.
Note: RSH is available only for Windows 98/Me. You cannot use the RSH protocol with Windows NT/2000/XP .
213
Exceed Users Guide
REXEC
When using the REXEC protocol, Xstartd verifies the user name and password to ensure that access has been granted to the remote user. Windows 98/Me Xstartd uses Inetd Admin to verify user names and passwords. For REXEC, -p password_file specifies the password file to be used to validate access. By default, the password file is password.hcl, located in the following directory:
%System%\HUMMINGBIRD\Connectivity\version\Inetd
where:
%System% for Windows 98/Me is Windows\System version is the version number of your Hummingbird product
In Windows NT/2000/XP User names and passwords are verified by the operating system itself. The user name used must belong to someone who uses that PC or to a fully qualified domain user who is permitted to login to that PC.
RSH
RSH is available on Windows 98/Me only. The rhosts file determines which hosts are allowed to connect to the PC and is located in the following directory:
%System%\HUMMINGBIRD\Connectivity\version\Inetd
where:
%System% for Windows 98/Me is Windows\System version is the version number of your Hummingbird product
The rhosts file consists of one or more lines in the following format:
hostname username
where hostname represents a host name from which RSH is allowed, and username represents the user ID of a user on hostname who is allowed to RSH to your PC.
Note: You must put a space between the hostname and username parameters.

TFTPd
TFTPd lets you use your PC as a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server. The TFTP server lets users transfer files to and from your PC. Any TFTP client program can use the TFTP server, including the DOS TFTP client.
Warning! TFTP does not require a user name and password.
One of the major applications for TFTP is to allow diskless workstations or PCs with BOOT PROMs to retrieve boot images from a Windows workstation in conjunction with the BOOTPdw server. To prevent unauthorized users from accessing your PC, we suggest creating a directory specifically for boot image files and making only that directory available to TFTP clients using the -r option.
Optional Parameters -rdirectory -wdirectory -o or O Description Specify a read directory for clients. For example, -rc:\bootptab Specify a write directory for clients. For example, -wc:\hcltcp Allow clients to overwrite existing files.
TFTPd has an inactive timeout feature that you can use to ensure that TFTPd closes a connection after a period of client inactivity.
215
Exceed Users Guide
To specify a timeout limit: 1 2 Create a file named tftpd.ini. Type the following in the file:
[Inactive] TimeOut=n
where n is the maximum number of seconds of inactivity after which TFTPd closes a connection. The minimum timeout is 10 seconds. 3 Save the file in the following directory:

Timed
Timed is a time server that other workstations can use to synchronize their current dates and times. When a machine sends a time request to your PC, Timed returns the current time. This is the time value since Jan 1, 1970 GMT. You can set up workstations with the hcltime or hctime32 program to synchronize the date and time across the network.
Tnamed
Tnamed is a Trivial Name Server that accepts incoming Trivial Name requests for host name resolution. It calls the local name resolution routine, gethostbyname( ), then searches the main lookup paradigm specified on the machine.

BOOTPTAB Configuration File

The bootptab file is an ASCII file that matches the client machine MAC address (physical hardware address) with other configuration information. The configuration information in the bootptab file can vary from simply the IP address for each machine, to a complete set of configuration information such as default gateway, Domain Name Server, subnet mask, Time Server, etc. All entries must be in the format:
xx=value
where xx is a two-letter designation for a parameter. The value is either a number or text entry depending upon the nature of the parameter. The configuration information can appear in several forms as illustrated by the parameter definitions listed below:
bf bs da
The name of the boot file. The size of boot requests. The IP address of the server providing authentication (user name/verification) on your network. The name of the dump file. The length of the DHCP lease. The domain name for your network. For example, zyx.com. The IP address of the domain name server for your network. The name of the file containing further options. The IP address of a gateway for your network.

If you have many client machines and multiple configuration parameters, this form of entry can become cumbersome. Instead, you can define all of the common parameters just once and use a single entry for all the common parameters. Multiple Parameters with a Common Parameter Block In this example, all of the common parameters are defined in the hcleth:\ statement. The common parameters are then identified for each client by using a single entry, tc=hcleth. This format makes it easier to add new PCs and workstations to the bootptab file.
hcleth:\ ht=ethernet:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=185.75.64.254:ds=185.75.64.5\ dn=xyz.com:ts=185.75.64.5:vm=99.130.83.99:to=18000\ da=185.75.64.5 pete tc=hcleth:ha=00608ce8ce55:ip=185.75.64.10 barbg tc=hcleth:ha=00608ce8ce77:ip=185.75.64.12 roger tc=hcleth:ha=00608ce8ce99:ip=185.75.64.14
There can be multiple common configuration blocks, each with a unique name. The tc=field of the client entry can then point to the appropriate common configuration block.
Administering Daemon SecurityInetd Admin

Inetd Admin is an administration tool that enables you to control access to the server daemons on your PC. You can assign a password for each remote user, specify the services the user can access (Telnet, Xstart, and FTP), and specify file access permissions.

About Hummingbird Directory Services

Hummingbird Directory Services provides directory services (NIS, NIS+, and LDAP) for Hummingbird Connectivity applications. Using Hummingbird Directory Services, you can set up configuration profiles for your machine and for each user of that machine. Each profile stores the information necessary to bind to a given domain. Once you have selected a service and established its domain profile, all directory service queries made by Hummingbird Connectivity applications target the domain you have specified. Hummingbird Directory Services also lets you do the following:

select the target service or services for host name resolution synchronize your Windows password with your password in a directory service domain select a profile type
About Directory Services Explorer

Directory Services Explorer is a browsing tool that lets you access and query directory services without leaving the familiar Windows environment. Using Directory Services Explorer, you can do the following:

Directory Services Overview

A directory service stores and discloses network information such as host names, user IDs, and available resources. The service works in essentially the same way as a phone directory: to phone someone, a caller uses a phone book to look up the number associated with the persons name; to connect to a remote host, a client queries a directory service to retrieve the IP address associated with the name of the host. Without a directory service, every host in a network needs to store and maintain its own copy of the network information. A directory service, on the other hand, centralizes network information in a single repository that each client can query. In so doing, a directory service ensures the consistency of the information and simplifies network administration.
237
Exceed Users Guide
Directory Service Domains

Directory services organize their information into domains. A domain consists of a group of computers and users that share the same network and configuration information. Typically, a domain corresponds to a particular organization or department within an organization. When you query a particular service, you must specify a domain for that service.
Directory Service Protocols

Clients communicate with a given service using a protocol specific to that service. Directory Services Explorer and Hummingbird Directory Services support NIS, NIS+, and LDAP. NIS The Network Information System (NIS) protocol was developed by Sun Microsystems to simplify the administration of network and configuration data. NIS stores its information in objects called maps that can be accessed over the network using the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol. NIS domains are flat and discrete: any map within a given domain belongs to and records information about that domain alone. NIS+ NIS+ was developed by Sun as an enhancement of the NIS protocol. NIS+ objects, called tables, can be searched on multiple columns (unlike NIS maps). Clients access NIS+ tables using the RPC protocol. Unlike NIS domains, NIS+ domains are hierarchical and can be extended to match the growth of the organizations they describe. NIS+ also protects its data using Secure RPC authentication.
For more information on supported LDAP schemas, see Hummingbird Directory Services Help.
LDAP The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) was developed by CCITT and ISO as a scaled-down version of the X.500 protocol. Unlike NIS and NIS+, which are proprietary protocols, LDAP is an open standard. Like NIS+, LDAP secures its objects by requiring client authentication. Hummingbird Directory Services and Directory Services Explorer have been thoroughly tested with the Sun One Directory Server (ranging from iPlanet 4.x to 5.x) and support any RFC-2307-compliant servers; they also support Microsoft Active Directory domains that have been updated with the AD4UNIX component.
238
Directory Service Objects

For more information on directory service objects, see Hummingbird Directory Services Help.
NIS and NIS+ store their information in tabular form. Only NIS+ refers to its objects as tables. NIS objects are known as maps because each maps a particular value (a key) to a piece of network information. LDAP objects are known as entries.
NIS/NIS+ Objects
Each column in a NIS+ table defines an attribute of the type of information stored in the object. For example, a table containing password information typically has a column for each of user name, user ID, primary group ID, and the password itself. NIS maps each consist of an information column, which stores the network information, and a key column, which serves as an index to the information column. The information column typically separates the various attributes of the object using a colon (:). Each row (or entry) in a NIS/NIS+ object represents one coherent piece of network information, such as the complete password information for one user.
LDAP Objects
LDAP entries correspond to the rows in a NIS map or NIS+ table. However, LDAP entries are discrete objects that can be selected and manipulated independently of one another. LDAP entries can also contain other LDAP objects.
Object Contents
The type of information stored in a directory service generally reproduces the content of UNIX /etc files. For example, NIS stores password information (usually stored in /etc/passwd) in two maps, called passwd.byname and passwd.byuid. NIS+ stores the same information in a table called passwd. In the RFC 2307 schema, LDAP stores password information in entries that belong to the posixAccount class; in the AD4UNIX schema, LDAP stores this information in entries that belong to the User class.
239
Exceed Users Guide
Server Architecture
The repository for a directory service usually consists of one main server the master serverand a group of supplementary servers. The master server stores and manages the network information. The supplementary servers store a copy of the master information. Supplementary servers in NIS are known as slave servers. Supplementary servers in NIS+ are known as replicas. Whenever the network information changes on the master server, the changes propagate across the network to the copies. Therefore, at any given time, there are several hosts capable of disclosing network information to clients. This architecture lets the administrator evenly distribute the network load across more than one server. From the point of view of clients who access the service, the changes are automatic and transparent. LDAP uses multiple servers that can independently update the network information and synchronize it with each other. Directory Services Explorer and Hummingbird Directory Services let you target your queries to specific servers in a domain.
Binding to a Domain
Before you can query a directory service, you must first bind to a domain. Each directory service domain is controlled by one or more servers that store and release the domain information. When you bind to a domain, you configure your system to send its queries to one of the servers that control that domain.
Bind Information
The process of binding to a domain differs from service to service. In general, you need to supply the domain name and names of the servers you want to query. If the service (such as NIS+) uses an authentication protocol, you also need to supply valid credentials.
240
Directory Service Profiles

You save the complete information for binding to a given domain in a profile. The profile records the details about the domain as well as the particular method by which you bind to it (for example, under user or machine credentials, or as one user or another).
Domain Servers
If you are using NIS as your directory service, you can use the ypwhich command to determine the names of NIS servers for a given domain. Directory Services Explorer and Hummingbird Directory Services can automatically locate NIS+ servers that are part of your local NIS+ domain. For the names of remote NIS+ servers, contact your NIS+ administrator. For the names of LDAP servers, contact your LDAP administrator.
For more information on Ping, see Ping Help.
If you know the name of the server, you can use the Ping accessory to determine if it is accessible from your machine.
About Directory Service Profiles

The type of profile you create for a domain depends on the application you are using.
Directory Services Explorer Profiles

In Directory Services Explorer, you can create multiple profiles, each corresponding to a single domain and binding method. In other words, Directory Services Explorer lets you bind to and explore multiple domains simultaneously. You can examine the objects in each domain as if they were directories in a mapped drive. (The process of binding to a server is analogous to mapping a remote drive.) For easy reference, you can give the profile a descriptive name. This is the name under which the domain appears in Directory Services Explorer. You can create up to ten profiles for each directory service.

Hummingbird Directory Services Profiles

Hummingbird Directory Services lets you create a directory service profile for your machine (the system profile) and for each registered user on that machine. The profile contains the information necessary to bind to a domain for each service supported by Hummingbird Directory Services. For example, you can create different user profiles to bind to a NIS domain, a NIS+ domain, and an LDAP domain. When you select a particular service from within a Hummingbird Connectivity application, the application sends your queries (such as host lookup) to the domain specified in your profile for that service. The system profile is selected by default. User Profile Users can set up profiles that let them bind to domains of their choice. They supply the configuration information for one directory service (or more) and then select the service they want to use for a given task. A user profile is specific to a given user; the profile is in effect while the user is logged into the machine. System Profile The system profile contains the default configuration information for any application or user that queries a directory service. A user that does not have a NIS account, for example, can still query the NIS domain specified in the system profile. The administrator for the machine can also configure Hummingbird Directory Services so that users can bind only to the domains specified in the system profile. (In this case, users cannot create their own profiles.) If you have used Hummingbird Directory Services to set up user or system profiles, you can view those profiles (under those names) in Directory Services Explorer.
Creating a Profile
You must be the administrator for the machine to create the system profile. Any user, however, can view the settings for the system profile (in Hummingbird Directory Services) or the contents of its configured domains (in Directory Services Explorer).
242
To create a profile using Directory Services Explorer: 1 2 3 On the File menu of Directory Services Explorer, click Settings. The Directory Services Explorer Settings dialog box opens. From the Directory Service list, select the service you want to target in the profileone of NIS, NIS+, or LDAP. Click Add. The Properties dialog box for the selected service opens. For example, if you have selected LDAP, the LDAP Proper ties dialog box opens. In the Properties dialog box, specify the domain for the selected service and assign a name to the profile.

For more information on specifying a NIS domain, see Specifying a NIS Domain on page 245. For more information on specifying a NIS+ domain, see Specifying a NIS+ Domain on page 247. For more information on specifying an LDAP domain, see Specifying an LDAP Domain on page 254.
After you have specified the domain, its name appears in the Profile box of the Directory Services Explorer Settings dialog box. 5 In the Directory Services Explorer Settings dialog box, click OK. The dialog box closes and the profile is stored locally. You can browse the specified domain under the profile name you assigned to it.
To create a profile using Hummingbird Directory Services: 1 2 Open the Hummingbird Directory Services Properties dialog box. To create your user profile, select User Settings. To create the system profile, select System Settings.
Note: If the User Settings option is dimmed, the administrator for your machine has disabled user profiles. You must use the system profile. If you want to bind to a NIS+ domain, you can still run keylogin to retrieve your own DES credentials. For more information, see Running Keylogin on page 261.

Binding to NIS
When you bind to a NIS domain, you can specify a primary and secondary domain server. Any queries sent to NIS first target the primary server, then, if the primary server is unavailable, the optional secondary server. Your choice of primary and secondary servers can affect the distribution of network load across the NIS master and slaves. Using Hummingbird Directory Services, you can also specify the maps for host resolution queries. Hummingbird Connectivity applications that run host name/address lookups consult the maps that you specify.
Specifying a NIS Domain

When you create a profile for NIS, you need to specify a domain. Use the NIS Proper ties dialog box and the NIS Domain Configuration dialog box.

In the standard NIS configuration, this map is called hosts.byaddr.
Click OK. The NIS Properties dialog box closes. The NIS service is configured for the specified profile.
Binding to NIS+
When you bind to NIS+, you can set a query order for NIS+ servers. Alternatively, to balance service loads across the network, you can specify random access to NIS+ servers. By default, your queries target the NIS+ master (if available), then any available replica servers.
Note: NIS+ requires client authentication. To access NIS+, you must supply valid credentials. For more information on NIS+ credentials, see Hummingbird Directory Services Help.
For more information on required NIS+ credentials, see Keylogin and the System Profile on page 250.
Hummingbird Directory Services lets you bind to a NIS+ domain as either a user or a machine, depending upon the profile you have selected in the Hummingbird Directory Services Properties dialog box. Certain tasks, such as connecting to an NFS resource or changing your password in a NIS+ domain, require user credentials.
Specifying a NIS+ Domain

When you create a profile for NIS+, you need to specify a domain. Use the NIS+ Proper ties dialog box and the NIS+ Domain Configuration dialog box. To specify a NIS+ domain: 1 Open the NIS+ Properties dialog box. For more information, see Opening a Properties Dialog Box on page 244. 247

Click the Up or Down buttons at the right of the list until the selected server is in the correct position. Repeat steps 23 for all other servers in the list until you achieve the desired query order. Click OK. The NIS+ Properties box closes. Queries to NIS+ target the first available server from the ordered list.
To randomly target NIS+ servers during queries: 1 2 In the NIS+ Properties box, select Use Random Server. The Up and Down buttons become dimmed. Click OK. The NIS+ Properties box closes. Queries to the specified NIS+ domain randomly target available NIS+ servers.
Keylogin and the System Profile

Certain tasks involving NIS+ require user credentials. For example, you must supply user credentials if you want to connect to an NFS resource. You must also supply user credentials if you want to change your password in a NIS+ domain.
For more information on keylogin and NIS+ credentials, see Hummingbird Directory Services Help.
When you create a user profile, Hummingbird Directory Services runs keylogin based on the name and Secure RPC password you supply in the profile. It then stores the retrieved credential information locally. This information is available to any Hummingbird Connectivity application that needs to use your user credentials. The system profile stores the credentials for your machine, not your user credentials. If you are using the system profile and you attempt a task that requires user credentials, Hummingbird Directory Services automatically runs keylogin on your behalf. In this case, Hummingbird Directory Services attempts to use your Windows user name and password as your NIS+ user name and Secure RPC password. If this attempt fails and you have registered a user name and password using the nfs register command or the Connect As dialog box, Hummingbird Directory Services tries keylogin again with your registered credentials (Hummingbird NFS Maestro Client users only).
250
If the automatic keylogin fails, the NIS+ Keylogin dialog box opens to let you manually specify a user name and Secure RPC password for the NIS+ domain in the system profile. Keylogin runs on a per user basis. Once you have specified user credentials for the system profile, you do not need to supply this information again.
Note: If you are using the system profile, you can run keylogin explicitly to bind to NIS+ using specific credentials. You do not need to run keylogin if you are using the user profile. For more information, see Running Keylogin on page 261.
Binding to LDAP
If you bind to an LDAP domain that uses the RFC 2307 schema, you can either bind as a registered LDAP user (in which case you must have a user account in the domain) or as an anonymous user. Anonymous users may not have access to all objects in the domain. By default, Microsoft Active Directory does not support anonymous user access to its containers.
Warning! If you bind as a registered LDAP user but do not use SSL authentication, your LDAP credentials may be visible to any third party on the network.
If you choose to use SSL, you must first retrieve a CA certificate from the same Certificate Authority that is used by the LDAP server.
Other Options
Protocol Version You can choose to use either version 2 or version 3 of LDAP. If you use SSL authentication, you must use version 3. Most LDAP servers running version 3 also support version 2. If you are not using SSL authentication and the server supports version 2 only, all LDAP queries made by you use the version 2 protocol (even if you specify version 3). Query Options You can set the maximum time (in minutes) for queries to the LDAP service and the maximum number of entries to return. If the service does not return any query results within the specified time, the query is aborted.
251
Exceed Users Guide
For more information on LDAP schemas, see Hummingbird Directory Services Help.
Schema Style You can select a schema style for the particular LDAP domain you are using. Select the RFC 2307 schema if your LDAP server is RFC 2307 compliant (such as the Sun One Directory Server 5.1). If your LDAP service uses Microsoft Active Directory, and the LDAP administrator has installed the AD4UNIX add-on component, you can use the AD4UNIX schema.
LDAP Authentication (SSL)

LDAP version 3 uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for authentication. SSL was developed by Netscape to secure communication over the Internet. The basis of SSL authentication is a digital certificate which one party sends to another to prove its identity. The certificate is issued by a third party, the Certificate Authority (CA), that both parties trust. Hummingbird Directory Services and Directory Services Explorer use server-side certificates, which authenticate an LDAP server to your machine. To use the server-side certificate from a given LDAP server, you must first retrieve a CA certificate from the root Certificate Authority used by the server. The CA certificate lets Hummingbird Connectivity applications (including Directory Services Explorer) authenticate the certificate sent from the LDAP server. Contact your LDAP administrator for information about the applicable Certificate Authority. You can use most web browsers to download a CA certificate and save it on your machine. Once you have retrieved the CA certificate, you need to install it using a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer that supports SSL. If you are using Internet Explorer to retrieve a certificate, you can install it directly during the download process.
Note: Before you can install an SSL certificate using Internet Explorer, you may need to update your Windows system. For more information, see article Q286158 in the Microsoft Product Support Services web site: http://support.microsoft.com
252
SSL Authentication for Microsoft Active Directory

If you bind to a Microsoft Active Directory LDAP domain that is different from your Windows NT/2000 domain, you can change or synchronize your password in that domain only if you are using 128-bit SSL authentication. In this case, the LDAP server must have a server certificate for a 128-bit RSA connection and must support high (128-bit) encryption.
If you are installing Internet Explorer 5.5 on a Windows 2000 machine, you must also install the Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack to change the encryption level for the machine.
In addition to the requirements for the server, the version of Internet Explorer that you use to install the CA certificate must support 128-bit encryption. Internet Explorer versions 5.5 and higher automatically support 128-bit encryption. If you are not using one of these versions, you must either install a version that does support high encryption or upgrade your current version with the Microsoft Internet Explorer High Encryption Pack. You can find more information about Microsofts encryption packs at the following site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/recommended/128bit

Click the plus sign to the left of an object to display the objects it contains. Repeat step 2 until you find the object you want to query. Click the object. The right pane displays the contents of the object.
To retrieve a specific entry from a selected object: 1 Open the Select Entries dialog box using one of the following methods:

Right-click the selected object; on the pop-up menu that appears, click Select Table Entries. Click the Select Table Entries button on the toolbar. On the Object menu, click Select Table Entries.
The Select Entries dialog box opens. 2 In the Column Restrictions area, type the desired key value or values into the Value column. For example, if you have selected the hosts.byname map and you want to retrieve the IP address for the host called jane01, you would type jane01 into the Value column. (The hosts.byname map uses host names as its key.)
Note: Queries based on key values are case sensitive. The key value you supply must be an exact match for the corresponding value in the object. You cannot specify a key value using pattern matching expressions.
Click OK. Directory Services Explorer forwards your query to the domain server and displays the results (including any error messages).
Sorting Query Results

You can sort the results of a query returned by Directory Services Explorer, either in ascending or descending order, using any column as the sort key. When you run a query, the results appear in tabular form in the right pane of Directory Services Explorer. The format of the table depends on the service. 263
Exceed Users Guide
NIS/NIS+ Each row in the table corresponds to an entry in the queried object. Each column corresponds to an attribute of the object. LDAP Each row in the table corresponds to an attribute of the queried object. All attributes of the queried object appear in the first column. A title bar at the top of each column displays the name of the column. To sort the results of a successful query: Click the title bar at the top of the column you want to use as your sort key. The first time you click a given title bar, the values in the column sort in ascending order from the top of column to the bottom. The second time you click the title bar, the values sort in the reverse order. Thereafter, successive clicks alternate the sort order. To return the results to their original, unsorted order, re-run the query.
Saving Query Results

You can configure Directory Services Explorer to save your query results to a text file. You can then use this file to copy and paste directory service data into other applications. There are two output methods for building the file:

AppendAdds successive query results to the end of the file; does not overwrite existing results in the file. ReplaceOverwrites existing results with the current query results.
You must specify the name of the file and the output method before you can save any queries. To specify an output file: 1 2 3 On the File menu of Directory Services Explorer, select Settings. The Directory Services Explorer Settings dialog box opens. In the Output File area, select Output to File. In the File Name box, type the name of the output file.

To delete a profile in Directory Services Explorer: 1 2 Follow steps 12 in the previous procedure. In the Profile box, select the profile you want to delete. Click Remove, then OK. The Directory Services Explorer Settings dialog box closes.
Changing a Domain Password

Using Directory Services Explorer, you can change your password for a selected service and domain. Specifically, you can change the entries for your account in the passwd.byname and passwd.byuid NIS maps, the passwd NIS+ table, and the LDAP entry for your user name. If you change your password in a NIS+ domain, Directory Services Explorer changes your Secure RPC password to the new value as well.
266
To change your password, you must meet the following requirements:

You must have an account on the server or network on which a service runs in order to update password objects. If you are changing your password in an LDAP domain, you must change it for each of your profiles that bind to that domain. If you bind to a Microsoft Active Directory LDAP domain, you can change your password only if you are using 128-bit SSL authentication. For more information, see SSL Authentication for Microsoft Active Directory on page 253.
Warning! If you bind to an Active Directory LDAP domain that is the same as your Windows NT/2000 domain, you will change your Windows password when you change your LDAP password.
To update your password information for a given domain: 1 2 3 Open Directory Services Explorer. On the File menu of Directory Services Explorer, select Change User Password. The Change User Password dialog box opens. From the Directory Service list, select the service that controls the domain. The Profile Name box lists the profiles you have created for the selected service. In the Profile Name box, select the profile that specifies the domain. Click Change Password. The Change Password dialog box opens. In the User Name box, type your user name. In the Old Password box, type your old password for the domain. In the New Password and Confirm New Password boxes, type your new password. Click OK. If you are updating your password in a NIS+ domain and your domain password is not the same as your Secure RPC password, you must enter your Secure RPC password in the Secure RPC Password box, then click OK again. The Change Password dialog box closes.
4 5 6 7 8
267
Exceed Users Guide
In the Change User Password dialog box, click Done. The dialog box closes. Directory Services Explorer updates your password (and Secure RPC password, if applicable) for the specified domain.
Note: The new information may take several minutes to propagate across supplementary servers in the domain. If you have selected a replica server as the first server in the NIS+ query order, the new password information must first pass up to the master server before propagating across the other replica servers.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting
Installation Troubleshooting
The following are common installation issues and questions along with suggested solutions. For further assistance with troubleshooting issues, contact Hummingbird Technical Support.
Another instance of Hummingbird Setup Wizard is running.

Solutions:
If a product is not currently being installed, you can ignore this error message and run:
Setup /v"HCL_OVERRIDE_INSTANCE=1"
The message also appears if a non-privileged user tries to uninstall a product installed for All Users of the computer. In this case, the setup parameter does not work since only an Administrator of the computer can uninstall the product.
This error message may display if installer is unable to remove a key created by the Setup Wizard. This may be because Setup Wizard encountered problems during a previous installation and the key was not removed. Delete the following key from the registry:
//HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Hummingbird/Connectivity /version/installer/UserIni/InstallActive=1
Problems repairing user files.

If the user directory is accidently deleted, the user file may not be repaired properly. In this case, if a program does not start, try removing the UserFiles registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE depending on whether or not the product is installed for All Users.
The feature you are trying to install is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Solutions:
Click OK in the warning dialog box and try again.
271
Exceed Users Guide
Enter an alternate path to the folder containing the installation package Hummingbird Product XXX.msi. Run the install again, then choose repair.
Windows installer has found incompatible software on your system.

If you install version 8 software (Exceed or NFS Maestro) and older versions of Hummingbird software exist on your system (for example versions 6.2 or earlier), you get the above warning message. Windows Installer will try to remove the older software, but in some cases this is not possible. Try to manually remove the software.
When trying to uninstall, Setup Wizard asks for the location of an .msi file.
Solution: To perform the uninstall, the installation CD should be in the drive.
Patch - Sourcedir not found (when trying to install patch).

This means the source files are unavailable. When installing a patch, you need to have the source from which you installed. The original product CD must be in the drive.
After installation the software does not workservices are not starting and/or files are missing.
Solution: Ensure the Administrator account is used to perform the installation. For Windows NT/2000, installing HostExplorer and NFS Maestro Client requires Administrator privilege. Installing Exceed requires elevated privilege (that is, a user who is a member of the Administrator group).
When trying to install the product, a message says I must uninstall the product.
Solution: You have version 7.0 of the same product installed. The upgrade process requires the original version 7.0 source to install the version 8 product.

Exceed Diagnostics
To find out tips for using Exceed, or to find out how other users solve common problems, join the Exceed Users Group. See page iv for details.
This section describes possible solutions to problems that you might encounter while using Exceed. If you have problems, there are two main ways to determine the cause:

Diagnosing using progress messagessee details below. Diagnosing using logs and trace operationssee details beginning on page 276.
Troubleshooting Xstart
Progress Messages
To open the Other Settings dialog box, click Other in the Settings area of Xstart.
Usually, the first step in troubleshooting a connection is displaying system progress messages. On the Connection tab (Other Settings dialog box), select Show progress and Show host reply in the Status/Debug area.
274
The Show progress option shows what is happening while you try to connect and start an application. The Show host reply option displays a summary of the startup information, the macros you used displayed in expanded form, and what reply was given by the host or application.
These options should help you determine the problem. The following sections detail common connection error messages. Correct User Name and PasswordSystem Does Not Connect If the host does not return an Invalid Name or Password message, there may be something wrong with the communications link. Maybe the host is not running or it does not support REXEC or RSH. There may also be a problem with your transport setup or configuration. Host Returns Invalid Name or Password Message If you receive an Invalid Name or Password message but the system is connecting, there may be something wrong with either the syntax or the parameters of the command you typed in the Xstart Command box. You may need to type PATH or DISPLAY specifications on the command line. Xstart Connects But the Client Does Not Start The client may not be getting enough time to start before the initial Xstart socket closes down. In the Other Settings dialog box (in Xstart, click Other in the Settings area), set the Close box in the Timeouts area to -1 (minus one), select the Show host reply option, then click OK. This setting keeps the first socket open even after the client socket is established. It also shows all host-generated messages in a host reply window that may give you details about what is happening. If the client seems to start properly, try different values in the Close box until you find a value that gives the client enough time to start and then closes down the initial socket. The Client is Not Authorized to Run on the Server To verify authorization, in the Xconfig Troubleshooting dialog box select View. In the Current Log Files dialog box, view the exceed.log file and check for errors. To fix a problem with permissions, start Xconfig. In the Security dialog box, edit the Host Access Control List file (select File, browse if necessary, then click Edit). You may have to also edit the file (if it exists and if the option is enabled) indicated in the Enable User Access Control List area.

Exceed Users Guide
Logs and Trace Operations

Exceed comes with two main tools for troubleshooting using logs and trace operations: Troubleshooting and Tranport Monitor.
Troubleshooting the Exceed X server

Troubleshooting
Use the Troubleshooting application in Xconfig to view the log file, to set what information is recorded in the log file, and to enable tracing. There are two main areas of active troubleshooting available with this application. The first area lets you log information into a file for later inspection. You can log Font Open requests, the initial settings of the WM_COMMAND and WM_NAME properties on InputOutput root level windows and all OpenGL requests. You can also generate a security audit in the log file using X Web Info Logging.
Note: OpenGL support requires Exceed 3D. OpenGL is an industry-standard three-dimensional graphics software interface. It lets you create interactive programs that produce still or animated 3D color objects, with shading, lighting, and other effects. GLX is the X Window System extension which implements OpenGL.
The second area is known as tracing. Tracing records all protocol traffic, between the Exceed X server and the host to a binary file. Options in Xconfig troubleshooting can help with the trace. For example, you can turn on tracing as soon as the Exceed X server starts, which means that the dialog with the first X client is recorded. You can also set Slow Trace in the Xconfig Troubleshooting dialog box which writes all information directly to the file without buffering any of the data. This is helpful if you are tracing a situation where the Exceed X server crashes because any buffered information would be lost.
276
The trace stops when the Exceed X server terminates. If you turned tracing on by clicking Trace on the Exceed X server File menu, you can terminate tracing by selecting Trace again. If tracing was turned on in the Troubleshooting dialog box, you should clear the Trace Initially On option as soon as possible. Otherwise, whenever the Exceed X server is restarted, tracing begins again.
Warning! Tracing creates large disk files on your system, and can impair Exceed X server performance. Therefore, use tracing only when you are troubleshooting a problem.
For more information on Xdis, see the Help.
After the system performs a trace, disassemble the trace file to read it as a text file in Notepad. Xdis performs the disassembly process for you and lets you filter the data content of the disassembly.
Transport Monitor
The Transport Monitor application (in the Exceed Tools folder) lets you monitor network connections by displaying all current connection activity. Use it to locate connections that are frozen. After you close a connection, the Transport Monitor should reflect this change. If the Transport Monitor continues to display a connection you have closed, then the connection is frozen.
