Hi, Shen connecting via SSH use the following:
ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] (where 10.0.0.1 is your server) (I personally add a -C to compress the traffic too) Once connected export your display. export DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:0.0 (where 192.168.0.1 is your own machine) Enjoy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith Vassallo Sent: 23 January 2004 16:03 To: 'Malta Linux User Group - general list' Subject: [LINUX.ORG.MT] X on SSH Hi guys, I'm trying to connect to my Linux "server" via SSH from another machine.
