Re: [Hardhats-members] hostname error (Linux guru needed)
Yes, it is a Linux configuration issue. I don't know where Red Hat 9 keeps its system name and where, if anywhere, it checks for consistency, but the Unknown host means that Linux has been given conflicting or confusing information about the host name. -- Bhaskar On Tue, 2004-09-07 at 17:33, Kevin Toppenberg wrote: Thanks Bhaskar, I think this must be a linux problem: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# hostname -s hostname: Unknown host [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# So the unknown host not coming from VistA or GT.M I can't find the files you mention: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# cat /etc/hostname cat: /etc/hostname: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# cat /etc/HOSTNAME cat: /etc/HOSTNAME: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# cat /etc/sysconfig/networks cat: /etc/sysconfig/networks: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.5 laptop LaptopWireless 192.168.0.10unix [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# I am using Redhat 9.

How would you do it from an SSH command line without the GUI tool?

Re: X through SSH (was Re: [Hardhats-members] hostname error (Linux guru needed))
If you are running plain Fedora on both boxes, X tunneling is turned on by default. You can remove it from the server by changing the value of X11Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config from 'yes' to 'no'. By default, it is 'yes'. If it is set to 'no', you cannot forward X through any command on the client. Now, if you are using SSH from Windows, you must have some sort of X engine running for the X display. I don't use Windows, so I don't know if there are any free ones. I think there is one that runs on top of CygWin. -Shaun Crawford Rainwater wrote: On Wed, 2004-09-08 at 10:11, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Message: 6 From: Nancy Anthracite [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] hostname error (Linux guru needed) Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 12:04:31 -0400 Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do you know how you can get the GUI version to run on SSH?

RE: X through SSH (was Re: [Hardhats-members] hostname error (Linux guru needed))
I believe Unix services for windows 3.0 is a free download and has an X server on it. This use to be Interix but Microsoft bought them and made it into Unix services fro Windows. They charged for versions 2.X but I believe they made it free for 3 and above. Ther is also uwinn from ATT it is found at http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/, this is free for educational/trial users.
