Here's an example: Your remote machine is remote.foobar.com, your local one local.foobar.com; On your local machine, type xhost + remote.foobar.com, on the remote one, type setenv DISPLAY local.foobar.com:0.0 (C Shell) or export DISPLAY=local.foobar.com:0.0 (Bourne Shell). You should now be able to get what you wanted. Warning: anybody can display a program on your own Display once you've granted permissions with xhost. [META ON] Curiously, SUN workstations seem to refuse granting remote Linux workstations such rights... Apparently, the two machine's domains must be the same.

X server via network.

(You can also use xhost, but xauth should be preferred). -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Hi Chris, you could /etc/X11/Xserver. and see if this helps. Paul On 9 Jun 1997, Chris Brown wrote: The other day I set up a couple of new machines and decided to monitor then from home.

Can someone point me in the right direction. You need to extract the cookie from the machine you rlog from with: xauth list Pick the line wich mentions your display (like in foo.bar.com:0, not foo/unix:0) and then on the machine you rlog into: xauth add line See (1)xauth for details. You can also use ssh which will do this automagically, and will also encrypt (and optionally compress (good on slow lines)) the connections.
