There are several reason this may not be working. As you didn't provide any details regarding how it's failing, here is something to look at. (This assumes you've already checked some basic stuff, e.g. The two systems can reach each other across the network. There are no firewalls or other issues that would prevent access.) It is likely that "the_machine_where_I_am_now" is not allowing the connection. Check out the man pages for xhost and xauth. A quick way to check this, provided you're in a reasonably secure environment, e.g. your behind a firewall on a subnet you trust. 1) On "the_machine_where_I_am_now" do an "xhost +" Note: this will allow X connections FROM EVERYWHERE. I would only recommend doing this for this quick test. 2) On "The_other_machine" try running something to display back on "the_machine_where_I_am_now". A simple "xterm" or "xclock" will do for this test. 3) When you're done with the test to an "xhost -". If this resolves your problem, refer to the xauth or xhost man pages for a more secure way to permit your remote app to connect back. - Paul -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
