Hi. I'm trying to set up an old PC as an X terminal to another. I installed the bare minimun in the client, reconfigured gpm and started it, and then ran in the client "X -query 192.168.0.1" to make it connect to the server. It just sits there in the mere start of X (the "x" mouse cursor in the center and the black-and-white line background) waiting for eternity to run out. Somebody said that it may be that the client can't get the response from the server due to being losed by tcp_wrappers, so i edited /etc/hosts.allow to add after the ALL:LOCAL line that i put there someday before (ALL:ALL in /etc/hosts.deny), the line "ALL : 192.168.0." to say that the local network gets to use anything from it. But the results were the same. Once it worked, the client showed the chooser from gdm and worked fine, allowing me to run big programs on that PC (that's pretty cool, you know? :) ), but i turned it off and the next day (today) it went back to the same state, i don't really know what i did. So, ideas on how to trace the problem and kill it? gotchas you've found on a similar setup you've tried or something? some obvious thing making faces in front of my nose and being ignored anyway? :) The "server" has 7.2 and the "client" has debian (it was suggested in almost all the faqs and i don't think mandrake runs on that machine (12 Mb RAM, for example) ). --------------------------------------- Microsoft: Writing viruses has never been easier!
