Hi all I had finally managed to put in mandrake on my desktop with X working quite well. Now on the desktop running Mandrake I had configured a webserver, sshd, Well just few minutes back i used secure shell from my laptop running redhat 9.1 logged on to the desktop. just out of curiosity i just typed in kmail after i logged in. And the kmail client opened. I could see all my mails which are on the desktop and i could send and receive mails as if i am using the kmail on my desktop. Now could somebody explain to me how this happened? I never even configured the remote desktop program. I have also not configured the kmail client on the laptop. In fact i am typing this mail from my laptop using the kmail client on my desktop. I am not sure hoe much of this makes sense to anyone. but here's the stuff that is echoed before the program starts ******************************************************************** [EMAIL PROTECTED] karthik]$ kbuildsycoca running...
