Interactive Follow up

Hello,

What did you modify to your Linux to avoid the \"interactive follow-up\" being blocked?
If I deactivate the option, the computation will work otherwise, the computation will end without any work at all. Therefore I cannot use Stanley.

Thanks for your help

Hello,

To use interactive follow up, you need to allow TCP network connection to your XWindow server.

Depending on the distribution, these settings may be changed in the Control panel under security or X server options (for example in Mandriva or PCLinuxOs) or you may need to change the \"-nolisten tcp\" of in the startup script of your XServer (try google with \"nolisten tcp your_distrib_name\").

The second important thing to make ASTK work is to configure it for the local network connection (ASTK is a client-server application). If you are in a static IP adress network with a fully configured DNS server and have a fully qualified domain name, you should configure all the option in the \"interface\" dialog of ASTK and it will work well.

If you are using your PC in a DHCP environment and you do not have a DNS server with a fully qualified domain name, you may encounter problems.
One option is to name your computer \"localhost\", then configure the ASTK server with hostname= \"localhost\" and be sure to leave blank \"domain name\" in the \"interface\" options.
The second option is to install & configure RSH or SSH to allow local-to-local acccess without password...

I know that it isn't simple to make ASTK work correctly in an arbitrary network environment. For the next release of CAELinux, I have developed a small script to configure SSH automatically to allow local-to-local SSH & SCP without password. I will publish the script when the distro will be ready.

I hope that this will help you in making ASTK work properly for you.
