I wanted to have my Linux X window from a Windows PC connected in LAN. I am using X-Win32 program to get the X-windows of my AIX/SCO and even our Solaris system without doing anything at the Unix side. The Linux is also in the same LAN but I am not getting the X-window. I opened the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess and could not understand anything (.caz am not very clear about xdm). Tell me how to edit this file so as to get the X-Window from a remote Win PC.
