I can do remote login using ssh to another host and do cl jobs. But how to login with gui and run gui apps?
I do it with my wife's computer all the time. Once connected-- just start the program from the CL as you would do so locally.
Want to start Mozilla? Type in "mozilla".
Want to start xmms? Type in "xmms".
You get the picture.
In order for that to work, a couple things have to happen:
(1) the host you are connecting to has to be configured to allow X11 forwarding. This is set up in the sshd config file in /etc (sorry, I'm having system trouble at the moment and don't have it installed, but I think it is called sshd_config.) The default value is "no", i.e., do not allow X tunneling.
(2) you need to make your ssh connection so as to request X forwarding. With the Linux ssh client, this is done with ssh -X -l userid host.
