Ugh, that's the archaic, telnet epoch way of doing it. It doesn't work on modern *nix systems for a number of good reasons: - there is no client-host authentication as to who gets access to your X server, anyone can send a window and e.g. log everything you type in your keyboard, including all of your bank accounts and passwords. - there is no encryption, so anybody could tap into the connection. - the ports are likely blocked by firewalls. Windows X servers (WinaXe for example) might still ask you whether to accept such a connection, but really, DON'T USE THIS! As Florian said, one just needs to use $ ssh -X server This way everything is tunneled through SSH, it uses client-host authentication, works on every system, can be easily tunneled, can be compressed on slow connections (pass the -C option) and so on. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Jussi Lehtola, FM, Tohtorikoulutettava Fysiikan laitos, Helsingin Yliopisto [email protected], p. 191 50632 ------------------------------------------------------ Mr. Jussi Lehtola, M.
