Hi All! I'm a newbie, and have just discovered running X apps on a remote machine on a local X server. Weigh kule!
On my campus, I can run an X server (XMix I believe) on a Win95/NT box and then telnet to a linux box and set my DISPLAY variable to the Win95 IP address and then run apps on that linux box and they "show up" on the 95 box. This is cool. Now, for the Thanksgiving weekend, I've traveled 150 miles east (from Abilene to Ft Worth) to my folks' house, and am using my Debian laptop on my Mom's ISP and trying to telnet back to my Abilene Debian box. However, I'm getting an error to the effect that the client is not authorized to connect to the Xserver. Is this some sort of default setting in Debian that I need to turn off somewhere, or is it some sort of barrier in Mom's ISP service, or what? Any clues as to how I can connect? PS. I've heard people refer to rlogin and ssh and have kindda gotten the impression that these are alternative means of "telnetting" in; maybe this relates to my problem?
