HI,
Once I telnet as root to a remote machine - I need to force the green
screen waiting for any login to login as a certain user,this will start
the application I need like If I was typing on the remote system
terminal.

Is there a way to achieve it - login to application remotely,but let
the machine think (environment,display,etc) that I'm a locall user ?

Could you please explain this? What 'green screen' do you mean?
What is the definition of the 'local user'?
Perhaps this is related with inetd?

There is a product called DoubleVision that will allow you to do this.

It is made by Tridia. www.tridia.com

HI,
What I mean exactly is :
On my server ,after reboot (a green screen =terminal shows) ,in order
to start a server application requiring display,the user has to type a
<userlogin> (no password),which shoots off a Java interface,xinit,etc.

I'd like to login remotely to the above machine as root (I have a root
password) and force the console to receive the <userlogin> as an
input,so that the application starts in a perfect local environment,not
in a remote one.
Thanks

I think DoubleVision will do what you need. You can "connect" to your
local terminal via a remote one, and anything you start from within that
"connection" will run as if it was started from the local
terminal/console. You can then disconnect and leave everything running,
or allow somebody else use the terminal. It was originally used as a
tool for support people to see error messages and verify user input.
Some users are not very apt at explaining error messages at times, but
that was probably in my old Solaris world. :-)

Yes,

But since I need my solution to be distributed with out SW to 8000
machines we have worldwide - I need some freeware solution,while
DoubleVision is not.
Thanks

A typo - I meant "with " our SW ...

Use the portmir command. There's a smitty shortcut if you want:

smitty portmir

Tell it what tty you are on and what tty you need control of. It's as if
you are actually connected to that terminal.

I'd start playing with a sequence like this:
- telnet to remote server
- log in as root
- switch to the target user 'su - <user> -c <script>'
<script> is a script starting X ('startx') and the application

If this works then you can script things together to work the same
unattended after booting the system.

This is pretty good and the price is right too! I never knew this was
built into AIX.

This is probably what you are looking for.
