Hello all, I'm currently working with X and I have a few quick questions I hope someone could help me with.
1. Remote X sessions I have two machines of course, one is a p3 800 of which will be my X client, and a slower p120 of which I'd like to run an X server. I'm guessing I export a display? and I use xhost? How is it that one can start an X client and keep it running, say if I had a few old pentiums and I wish to have all my X stuff running on the p3... is this difficult? 2. Remote application on multiple X clients. Say, for arguments sake I had several fast machines. I had one that was playing music, another with email or a dedicated fast VMware machine. how would I get all these different X applications on different machines to show up on one display? 3. Is it possible to run an X client on a LAN and have multiple X servers connect to it without telnet or ssh? am I to understand that you would use telnet or ssh in an WAN type setting? or in the case of SSH or SSL telnet to secure an unsecure network medium. 4. Sharing fonts, I assume this is a font server? where do I configure X to deal with this? 5. Security purposes, on an NIC that is connected to the internet or some insecure WAN would it be appropriate to have in your iptable... or something more strict? I'm still learning IP tables. iptables -A INPUT -s 6000 -i eth0 -j DROP 6. Lastly, autodetecting hardware... like your monitor, vid card, mouse, keyboard... Knoppix seems to do this well. xf86cfg just... gets, tiresome. Peace, Richard Jenniss
