This file is used by AT&T SVR3.2 X windows clients to determine how to connect to a remote server. The first entry is the name of the X server. The second entry is the name of the machine on which the X server resides. In general, the name of the X server and the machine will be the same. Last is the name of the TLI network device in /dev that is to be open to establish the connection. (Because AT&T X clients use TLI to establish network connections it is necessary to specify the type of network to use.) Currently SCO OpenServer only provides networked X windows support over the TCP/IP protocol.
It is possible to provide a default Xconnections entry that causes any unresolved entry to be resolved so that the X server name is assigned to be the host name and the transport specified in the default entry is used. This provides for ease of administration in an environment where there is one primary network protocol for X communications.
To specify a default entry, set both the X server name and the host name to ``*''. Because TCP/IP is the standard network protocol for X window connections, SCO OpenServer sets the default protocol device to /dev/inet/tcp, the TLI device for TCP/IP communications.
Xcommunications must be readable by all AT&T client
programs for
them to make proper requests of the xdaemon process.
However, as with /etc/passwd and /etc/group,
this file must not be writable by users for security reasons.

# The following should always be the last entry. # This is the default network to use for connections # that are not specified above. In this case the # network is TCP/IP.
