I've decided to post since this seems to be a problem that many users
are experiencing---and it's something wrong in the install script.
I've also trimmed the crossposting.

> [Problems running xterm and other setuid/setgid X programs]

First, read the manpage for ld.so.  Hidden deep in ENVIRONMENT section
it says that `when running a set-user- or set-group-ID program, ld.so
will only search for libraries in directories it "trusts", which are
/usr/lib, /usr/5lib, /usr/local/lib, and any directories specified
within the executable as a result of -L options given when the
executable was constructed.'

So any permutation of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH won't help.  You've got to
make sure the X libraries are installed in the `trusted' directories
or make sure each X client is linked that the -L options that will
actually contain the libraries once you've done the make install.

My next beef has to do with the `install' target and SUN-DES-1
authorization.  The mit `install' target installs xterm as set-uid
root, so it can update the /etc/utmp file.

However, a program that runs set-uid root uses root's key on the local
machine rather your key, rendering SUN-DES-1 authorization only useful
for useless clients like xclock, xman, ... .  You can't run xterms.

The fix: install xterm as set-gid tty, not set-uid root, and make sure
/etc/utmp is group-writable by group tty.  Then, an xterm runs with
your user ID, so it uses your key for SUN-DES-1, and you've got the
protection you were after.

Apparently, the X Consortium didn't test this before X11R5 was
released.  It needs to be fixed.

If you're using NFS to access remote files, you need to make sure that
there's an appropriate entry for /u/ap in the "NFS Mount Table"
configuration.

While we're on the subject, could someone explain why this extremely common
error results in an "integer parameter out of range for operation" error?
Doesn't X have an error code that conveys the message "file not found"?

How do you know it allocates the top half?  There isn't any Xlib
API to specify which color cells to allocate by number.

Plus, at least some servers reserve entry 255 (the highest numbered
entry), so what you're describing is likely non portable, assuming
you can do it at all.

John Cwikla proposed that you make your cells into a form of standard
colormap.  That's a good idea.

You could try two other things:
(1) Don't make 'em read/write, just allocate them shared.
(2) If you want to share these color cells with other programs
    *you wrote* or other instances of the same program,
    you could hang a property off the root window 
    indicating how the colors are allocated.  Each program
    using the colors would look for the property, and
    only allocate the color cells upon not finding the property.

Thanks for all the mail.  I got a couple solutions.

First of all, everyone outside of DEC said, "We never got it to run, so
we run xdm in our /etc/rc.local".  Since that runs as root, you avoid
the problem.

That fixed things for me.  I also got these solutions, which I haven't
tested.

All the answers from inside of DEC said:

"the real problem is /dev/mouse needs to be readable".  I never got to
try it since xdm works for me.  I had tried to figure out what wasn't
readable and failed.  (trace wasn't working for some reason, I've never
had trace fail me under SunOS -tal).

Also, someone from DEC suggested that in /etc/ttys change:

:0 "/usr/bin/login -P /usr/bin/Xprompter -C /usr/bin/dxsession -e" \
none on secure window="/usr/bin/Xtm2d"

to

:0 "/usr/bin/login -P /usr/bin/Xprompter -C /usr/bin/dxsession -e" \
none on secure window="/usr/local/X11R5/bin/Xdec"

Again, I haven't tested this either.

THANKS for all the responses!

I am attempting to write a small program which uses curses to prevent
a variety of  information on the screen, and it works fine, but I
can't find a way to change curses idea of how big the screen is after
a sigwinch. I have a signal handler written, but it doesn't work. 

(I even tried doing an endwin(); initscr() but it still used the old
size).

Do I need to create a new window, copy
the data across and then delete the old one?? (even then the LINES
and COLS variables are still not updated.)

What is the most reliable way to find out how big the window is after
a SIGWINCH?? 

thanks in advance

Hello All!

I have a small problem:

I have an application at startup time. The application determines the
window-size of the window, it is running in. It determines, that the window
size is too small. So it wants to push the maximize-button of the
mwm-windowborder in, so that it runs in fullscreen mode. 

I don't want to set the window size to full screen, because the user shall
still have the possibility to return to the window's original size by simply
pushing the maximize button again!

Anyone out there, how can help me?

I know that there is no such function in the Motif-toolkit, so I thought about
XSendEvent to the mwm. But perhaps there are other possibilities? Or anybody
who already did this?

Sincerly,
        Matthias

OK.  Qualify that as "XFree86 does not work PROPERLY with these boards".
One of the features of XFree86 (and its X386 ancestors) is that ability 
to switch displayed resolution via hot-key sequence.  This capability
is badly impaired by the clock problem.  25 and 28MHz clocks are not
going to work for much more than 640x480 (unless you like a lot of
flicker in your display).

The stock version of X11R5 for Intel-based SVGA systems lacks an important
feature that was readlily available in X11R4 (even though not from MIT):
shared libraries.  This made the difference between acceptable performance
and swapping hell for me.  Now that I've got X11R5 going, I seriously
wonder why I should even bother using it.

Has anyone out in the net community managed to work in some of the nice
features that MIT removed?  I am already aware of the good-quality
servers for X11R5 which evolved out of the Roell R4 server.  My main
concern is if anyone has re-introduced the fine shared library support
that I have with R4 under Interactive.

Thanks in advance.

The -name parameter of xterm allows one to change the application name
so that xterm gets resources as if it were a different application.  
How can one dextend that so it also reads a resource file as if it had
class name other than "XTerm".  I need to have a set of resources for 
xterm in a different file name under  "/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults" and
$HOME.  Is there a way to change it's class name?
 
Thanks.
