The most obvious way of doing this is to start an xterm on the FreeBSD
server:
xterm -display freebsd:0.0 &
For this to work, you should:
1. On the FreeBSD box, modify /usr/X11R6/bin/startx. Change the line
listen_tcp="-nolisten tcp"
to
listen_tcp=""
2. Also on the FreeBSD box, run xhost:
xhost openbsd
This applies to any other X application as well, of course.
