I'm a bit confused, as usual. What does "get the maps popped up on the zLinux server" mean? I would have thought that the programs would be running on the zLinux system with the "maps" displayed on the desktop. If you ran VNCSERVER on the zLinux, that means that the X11 server (as well as the X11 client) is running on zLinux and being "scrapped" by VNC and sent over to the desktop, which is running VNC viewer. I don't know why you'd do this. I tried something similar, but using VNC server on Windows and VNC viewer on Linux. On a LAN it is OK. Across the Internet it was painfully slow, due to my relatively slow DSL connection. What I think should be done is run the apps on zLinux. The desktop runs PuTTY or some other SSH client. It connects to the zLinux system, using X11 forwarding. This will prompt for a userid/password (or digital cert login) then open up a shell prompt (generally, it could open up a different application entirely, if desired). The user would then enter the name of the application to run on the shell. The output would be forwarded to the X11 server on the desktop. All the graphics rendering would be done on the desktop. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
