Rod,
Assuming <duck> you have X at nodes:
Couple of ways,
At remote end, You need to enable xhost +ServerName (LAN server)
to allow ServerName to splash screens all over your desktop.
{I'll get flamed about the xhost thing, use xhost or xauth}
(It's your network, do as you will....)
[If you just do a "xauth +" , I will be able to splash screens on
your desktop from home..]
Telnet over to Server and run "xterm -display node:0.0 &" to send the
xterm over to your desktop. (If node is in Servers /etc/host or Server
can find you via DNS) Might need to xterm -display xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0 &
to specify IP. (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is IP Address of your node)
Other way,
Create an executable shell script in users $PATH on Server :
#!/bin/sh
# Script to allow remote users to remotely display X apps.
# Call it rx or whatever.
case $1 in
-h|--help|"") echo "Need X Program to run.. "
;;
*) echo -n "Enter IP address to Display to: " ;
read remoteIP ;
$1 -display $remoteIP:0.0 &
;;
esac
# end script
Now you can type "rx xterm" and it will ask for your IP or node name
to display the session.
Play with it.
Have fun,
Rick
