Ok, I have been using Linux for a long while, but in comparison to my windows boxes most of my Linux stuff just works. On that note I am much less experienced then many others on this list. Could you please explain xhost+ to me?

The sshd demon accepts connections to your machine and has nothing to do with outgoing connections. That's why you can restart sshd and it didn't affect your outgoing ssh connection. You might also need to do an "xhost +" to allow your X server to accept connections before your try to open up any X programs. --- Jon M.

And I just purchased a virtual server from GoDaddy, but when I try to run an X app I get the generic error of cannot connect to X server. If I look at ps -A I see xinted running. If I try to startx I get xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.5195 (or some randum number) xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "X" in PATH I think you're confused at what you want. You don't want X running on that computer, you want the programs to display on your X server running on your machine. Try connecting like this: ssh -X -Y -C myhost.com That opens up X tunneling, sets the forward file, and does a little compression for you too. Some SSH servers aren't set up to support X tunneling by default, you may need to enable it in /etc/ssh/ssh_config --Ted --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
