I don't know how much help I can offer but here goes....Hi guys, I am logging into a solaris workstation from Windows using SSH, and can use VNC tunneled to get an X desktop. I would like to send the display of another solaris machine back to the VNC X desktop, but dont know how. Usually, if I was at the machine, I would type: setenv DISPLAY compname:0 Now the VNC desktop is :1 but if I try that it still doesnt work. Does anybody know how to do this? (Sorry for the complete off-topicness but I cant find anything else to help me) Allan
You setup an SSH tunnel to Sun1, fire up VNC on Windows and connect to Sun1 where you have use of Sun1:1. No problems.
If you were sitting at Sun1 you would type in the setenv conmmand...then what? Are you just trying to get programs running on the local screen? Do you want a CDE login for Sun2? What meesages do you get from Sun2 when you try to open an xterm on Sun1:1? How do these systems sort out xauthentication (see man xauth)?
HTH
Colin (as you can tell its been a slow day here today)
