What does 'show display' give for WSA9? Is this local to
MPI4 or is the X server on MPI7? If you are using transport=tcpip
what is the IP address of the server?

$ sho display

Device: WSA11: [exec]
Node: MPI7
Transport: TCPIP
Server: 0
Screen: 0

MPI4 is 192.129.30.4 and MPI7 is 192.129.30.7

Then you need to allow access from MPI4 on MPI7. The equivalent of
'xhost +'. (I use to know the exact command, but I haven't played
with VMS DECwindows in almost 10 years). That is if MPI7 is a
workstation...

I'm not sure I understand the usage of XDM.ACCESS file. The XDM server
only manages X Displays outside of the workstation (e.g. X terminals,
etc). It doesn't affect the local X server login that is started
by the DECwindows startup command files.

Without a /node=someone you are telling MPI4 to display on MPI4,
but use TCPIP as the transport. In your session security on MPI4
will need to allow MPI4 over TCPIP.

OK, so somewhere you put in /node=MPI7. You need to allow MPI4 over
TCPIP in your MPI7 security settings. Pre-CDE this was through the
session manager, but I don't recall where it is in CDE.
