To: eric@head-cfa.harvard.edu, fitz@noao.eduHello Mike and Eric,Sorry to keep you in suspense, I've had a multitude of things to attend to.Well IRAF & Saotng are working fine now! I swapped over the imt1i and imt1o
designations, tacked a "!" onto the server name in the "set node"
command, and hey presto I could display images. I think that the key to
it was the missing "!", and I think I can recall reading a warning about
this in the IRAF site manager instructions, so it's probably my fault
for not being more careful! Interestingly, it didn't seem to mind which actual machine of the
cluster was specified as the node, ie. I could run IRAF & saotng on
one machine, with 'node' set to another machine, and still display normally.
This appears to contradict one of your instructions, but perhaps it
is possible because of the unified filesystem here. So many thanks again for your help.Cheers,
Ray.

Glad things are working now, but this shouldn't happen. It may
mean that IRAF networking isn't properly configured (causing all commands
to be run on the local machine regardless). Does the NETSTATUS command
in the CL say networking is enabled? If not you may have just left out
the local host (or maybe the iraf server machine).
My earlier point about the node setting refers to the fact that you
can run IRAF & saotng on the same machine (and not have to set node) and use
X networking to display the window on another machine, or run saotng on the
other machine and use IRAF networking to display. If you set the node it
should be to the machine actually running the display server regardless of
where the window actually appears. For Xterminals this means the node
should be the machine hosting the xterminal rather than the name of the
xterminal itself.Cheers,
