You may prefer to use ssh's X11Forwarding with 'ssh -X remotehost', and avoid -listen_tcp for security reasons. Make sure that X11Forwarding is set to yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
