Hi Matthias
I can't immediately explain this but the error message says that a
connection to port 33521 on host 172.17.32.37 was refused. This usually
means that the 33521 service (whatever this is) is not currently
running.
I don't recognise this as a port number that should be connected to
during a launch, perhaps it would help if you posted the messages in
the server error logs that occur at the time the launch is made.
In case this is some kind of proxy service it might be worth checking
to see if anything is running on this port. i.e. use
netstat -an | grep 33521
there may be something listening on the loopback interface?
In general you should use 'ssh'. To get this working for the X11
protocol, which is the protocol required by the object manager. You
need to enable X11 forwarding in your /etc/ssh/ssh_config ( set
ForwardX11 yes), and in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config ( set X11Forwarding
yes ) on all machines connecting via ssh.
Note. I'm assuming you are using Linux with moderate security settings
because you are getting this problem -- if you are using something
different the actual files you need to change may vary.

Hello,
how to set up SGD to launch xterm?
I can run the objectmanager within an x-session on the SGD Server itself.
But not within SGD.
I can connect to the server by ssh and telnet from my Windows client
perfectly.
I have switched the objectmanager to connect over telnet and I get the
message
ErrTransport not Available
connect (7, 172.17.32.37:33521):(111) Connection refused

It usually means that the object's connection method is not configured
correctly. So if you have telnet enabled but the object is configured
for SSH, you'll get this message.
Try launching a xterm. konsole on the SGD 4 server. You can do this via
SGD. Then as root
     $ tarantella objectmanager
Now check that the Object and Array Manager objects have telnet selected
as the connection method.
