IPv6 Support by Common Desktop Environment (CDE)
The Common Desktop Environment 2.1 (CDE) is an environment for interacting with
your workstation. When CDE is running on your system, it is said to be your system's
desktop.
Summary of Change
With HP-UX 11i v2, CDE 2.1 supports IPv6. This is in addition to the IPv4 support that
CDE already provides.
•The dtspcd (CDE subprocess control service) and rpc.ttdbserver (RPC-based
ToolTalk database server) services should be configured to run in IPv6 mode. Please
refer the corresponding manpages listed below for further details.
• The CDE Applications will support the IPv6 addresses for the DISPLAY environment
variable.
• CDE has been enhanced to use the scalable utmps/wtmps/btmps services. (For more
information on these services, see “IPv6 Support by HP-UX libc and HP-UX
Commands” on page 154.)
• TPS has been enhanced to support IPv6.
