I'm having some difficulties accessing vnc servers running in my office from viewers on dialup machines elsewhere. When the remote machine is running RedHat Linux 7.1, I frequently get an error message to the effect that the client is not permitted thus:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Error: Can't open display: :0.0 I think this is mostly because my ISP assigns the remote machine an identity that is not represented in the .Xauthority file that was in place when the VNC server was started. Is there a simple and dependable way around this (it doesn't help that what counts as a server and what counts as a client in the X and VNC worlds can occasionally leave one chasing one's tail). On a separate matter, I use exmh as my mail viewer in the office, and would like to use it over a vnc link. But when it tries to start, it looks for X resources (BACKGROUND_TEXT, or is it TEXT_BACKGROUND - not running at present because of the first problem) that are present on my office machine, but not on the Linux box. Has anyone tackled this and fixed it? -- Steve Blinkhorn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
