I found that using ssh was the way to go for me. With X11Forwarding set to 'yes' on the remote server then running 'ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in your local XTerm will take you to the remote server. At that point running an xclient is a simple as running 'netscape &' . There may be security implications if you don't trust the remote system's root user but they don't concern me for my type of use. Hope this helps, Terry. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Selterra Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------
