Mike,
I know this isn't the right way to do this, but this is how I do it, please
use at your own risk.
Lets call the client computer, the computer you are physically at, the
computer that you wish to see the program at, lets call it c.network.com.
The server lets call s.network.com, this is the computer in which the
program is installed on.
First setup the client. open a virtual console or xterm then su into root.
cd /usr/X11R6/bin
./xhost +s.network.com (if that doesn't work, just try ./xhost
s.network.com)
Good, that is all you have to do on the client side, this basically tells
which computers can redirect display onto you screen, s.network.com should
be the only one allowed at this time.
Use the command
./xhosts
to see who is currently allowed to display programs on your workstation.
Second we need to setup the server.
telnet s.network.com
enter username & password.
in sh or bash (or korn shell even?) run the command
DISPLAY=c.network.com:0
export DISPLAY
or in csh tcsh
set DISPLAY=c.network.com:0
This tells the server to redirect any x programs to c.network.com display 0
run a program to test it out
cd /usr/X11R6/bin
./eyes &
You probably want to run all graphical programs with the & sign, this will
put them in the back ground and lets you use the telnet session if need be.
Also you could setup your display in you shell start up files, like .bashrc
or .login in your home directory, this way you won't have to retype that
command all the time.
use at your own risk,
Jack
