If you use a special X*screens file, you need to set your DISPLAY variable appropriately. For the previous example, it would be set to hostname:3.0 Note: The number in an Xnscreens file does not necessarily refer to a physical screen number; any meaning implied by the number is for the user to define. There are no semantics applied to the number except that the Xnscreens files are used when X is started on display :n.0. For example, an X2screens file does not necessarily imply the second device; an X2screens file can use whatever device the user specifies. The same applies to the X*devices and X*.hosts files as well Using an /etc/hosts file This file need not be present if your system is configured to query a nameserver. The /etc/hosts file is an ASCII text file containing a list of all the host names and internet addresses known to your system, including your own system. If your system is not connected to a network, use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) and the hostname unknown: 127.0.0.1 unknown For a local system to access a remote host: • The address and hostname of the remote host must be listed in the local system's /etc/hosts file. • The user must have a valid login (username and password) and home directory on the remote host. Using special input devices Input devices are connected to Hewlett-Packard computers through several different hardware interfaces. Among the interfaces supported are the PS/2 mini-DIN keyboard and mouse. Drivers can be written for other devices which have an RS-232C (serial) interface.

If you use a special
X*screens
file, you need to set your
DISPLAY
variable
appropriately. For the previous example, it would be set to
hostname:3.0
.
_____________________________________________________________________
Note:
The number in an Xnscreens file does not necessarily refer to a physical screen
number; any meaning implied by the number is for the user to define. There are no
semantics applied to the number except that the Xnscreens files are used when X is
started on display <name>:n.0. For example, an X2screens file does not necessarily imply
the second device; an X2screens file can use whatever device the user specifies. The
same applies to the X*devices and X*.hosts files as well.

Using an
/etc/hosts
file
This file need not be present if your system is configured to query a nameserver.
The
/etc/hosts
file is an ASCII text file containing a list of all the host names and
internet addresses known to your system, including your own system.
If your system is not connected to a network, use the loopback address (
127.0.0.1
)
and the hostname
unknown
:
127.0.0.1 unknown
For a local system to access a remote host:
•
The address and hostname of the remote host must be listed in the local system's
/etc/hosts
file.
•
The user must have a valid login (username and password) and home directory on
the remote host.
Using special input devices
Input devices are connected to Hewlett-Packard computers through several different
hardware interfaces.
Among the interfaces supported are the PS/2 mini-DIN keyboard
and mouse. Drivers can be written for other devices which have an RS-232C (serial)
interface.
