We used twm and it seems to work. (
/usr/openwin/bin/twm -display cotton:1 & )
I had looked at VNC previously and had hoped not to
use it, as it appears to be a security risk to me.

Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.

--------- Original Question ---------------
Previously we have Oracle 9ias version 9 release 2 on
a Solaris 8 system and using Xvfb & olwm to keep the
report server up and running.  Now we need to install
Oracle 9ias version 9 release 2 on a Solaris 9 system.
 The problem is that olwm has of course gone away in
Solaris 9.  

So the question is does anyone know a replacement for
olvm  
 
Below are the individual answers

Any old window manager would do.
twm, for instance.

there's a free olvwm floating around the web...  think
i saw it at x.org.

the entire s8 openwin suite should work just fine
under s9 - it's just a buncha apps after all...

You can try using VNC. I wrote this up a while ago...

You should be able to run dtwm (/usr/dt/bin/dtwm)
anywhere you were running olwm before.  A totally
different window manager, of course, but I think you
don't care about that for this application.  This is
the CDE window manager, and should be around past
Solaris 10.

Are you sure you need a Window manager running? The
Oracle report server should do find with just the X
server running.

If you do need a window manager, I would download and
compile fvwm or olvwm. Should do the trick.

Do a search for dtautologin. That is what we used even
under Sol8; it fires up CDE. Of course, in several
years, CDE will go away as well,  but
by then, maybe Oracle will have clued in.

VNC is another solution. We didn't go with it at the
time because it was
closed-source, and the situation with AT&T UK was
still up in the air.

twm should be available, and should be sufficient and
low-overhead
