Connect to the Xterminal from your session host. Export a DISPLAY variable and then merge your xauth token from the session host into the Xterminals ~/.Xauthority file. Here are some details: You are sitting at Xterminal logged into session_host. session_host$ ssh Xterminal Xterminal$ export DISPLAY=Xterminal:0 Make sure that the DISPLAY vars value matches the FQDN listed by `xauth list' on the session host. I don't let my Xterminal ssh to my session host so I do the rest from the session_host, you could do it before ssh'ing to the Xterminal if tha suits you better or allow ssh to the session host. session_host$ xauth extract - $DISPLAY | ssh Xterminal xauth merge - Then you can start xclients on Xterminal and have them make use of the X server running locally. hth, jereme -- +--------------------------------------------------------------+ Jereme Corrado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> System Administrator Restorative Management Corp. gpg: 1024D/9C39E1F0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
