Introduction

Xmanager is a small and convenient tool for browsing the remote X window system. In work, Xmanager is often used to log in to the remote Solaris system and perform graphical operations on the X window system. However, Xmanager does not provide support for Chinese by default. In order to be able to browse remote Chinese Solaris systems, it is necessary to customize Xmanager to provide Chinese browsing capabilities.

Structure

Xmanager is a new standard cross platform integration solution. It is a one-stop solution that includes the following products: Xmanager 3D (OpenGL), Xshell, Xftp, and Xlpd.

Xmanager PCX Server

Xmanager is a high-performance X window server running on the MS Windows platform. You can run Unix/Linux and Windows graphics applications simultaneously on your local PC.

Xshell

Xshell is a powerful SSH, TELNET, and RLOGIN terminal simulation software for the MS Windows platform. It enables users to easily and securely access Unix/Linux hosts from Windows PCs.

Xftp

Xftp is a powerful FTP and SFTP file transfer program for the MS Windows platform. Xftp can securely transfer files between Unix/Linux and Windows PC.

Xlpd

Xlpd is an LPD (Line Printer Virtual Background Program) application for the MS Windows platform. After installing Xlpd, the local PC with a printer becomes a print server, and print tasks from different remote systems can be requested and processed in the network environment. (Shared software)

Xstart

Xstart is a windowed login interface that requires filling in session, host, protocol, user name, and password. Remote login is possible.

Main features

XManager is a high-performance 32-bit X11R6 PC X server that can run not only on Windows 95/98/ME and NT/2000/XP/2003, but also on Windows terminals.

Usage Techniques

Support methods for Chinese Solaris systems on Xmanager. There are two methods: one is to use the built-in Font server in Solaris, change the configuration file fontserver.cfg of the font server, and add the corresponding local font to the font server, so that X's client can download the required font from the font server. However, this method was unsuccessful after multiple attempts by the author. Another method is to directly copy the required font file from the server and load it into the local Xmanager system.

Multiple monitors

XManager complies with XDMCP, SSH, RSH, REXEC, RLOGIN, and TELNET connection protocols. It supports the SSH (Secure Shell v1&v2) protocol on Xstart and provides a simple Xbrowser program to manage XDMCP connections. It is suitable for multiple XDMCP processes to use the Xbrowser program simultaneously, and can be reused and configured in Xstart process files.
