Hi! I don't know if you've figured out your problem yet, but I think
you have the direction wrong. your command:
> xterm -display 66.66.66.66:0
would open an xterminal displaying on the Solaris box, since you say
that 66.66.66.66 is the ip address for the Solaris machine. You need
to connect to the Solaris machine, and tell it to run an xterm on the
Mandrake box:
[Mandrake]$ xhost +Solaris.box
Solaris.box being added to access control list
[Mandrake]$ rsh Solaris.box xterm -display Mandrake.box
However, it is much safer to use ssh, which will take care
of access control on it's own:
[Mandrake]$ ssh Solaris.box xterm
Best regards,
Chuck
