hi all,
here i am again with my home network

3 boxes, 1 hub          the 3 boxes are connected to the hub
box 1: main workstation, lm8.1, celeron 1.1ghz ip:192.168.1.2
box 2: p120, lm8.1. i run xfce on this box ip:192.168.1.4
box 3: my gateway, p120, diskless, runs linuxfw, connected to the hub and
cable modem ip:192.164.1.1


i have Nfs working-ish (only works when bastille is turned off, by the way,
has any body noticed tha in drakconf , services, bastille shows as not
running, even when it is, or is it just me?, but i am degressing....)

now on to ssh.
i can establish ssh connection from box 1 to box 2, but X not working. here
what i get when i try to run an app:

Last login: Mon Nov  5 19:51:56 2001 from localhost.localdomain
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: (stdin):1:  bad display name "home.97fx:10.0" in "add"
command
[root@home root]# xmms
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for home.97fx

** CRITICAL **: Unable to open display

now on  the second line it says about bad display name and add command. i
don't have the first clue what that is or what config it might writte that
too...

then it says about  X11TransSocketINETConnect, same thing... i'm baffled.

then when trying to connect from box 2 to box 1, i get a plain old
connection refused.
fair enough, but why?

i have looked several faqs and ssh sites, no luck.

any ideas?

ps: this is supposed to be straight forward stuff, why doesn''it work for me?
:((

appart from that, linux, and mandrake rock. i get the confirmation everytime
i have to use window$
