I have the bandwidth at work to do X11 Forwarding but not sure how to do it. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? Any info much appreciated.

I do it at work all the time, but I use ksh on IRIX there and I think the display command is different. In any case on the machine you want to view the output on use the command: xhost + machinename This allows the machine access to your X server. On the one you want to run the program log in with telnet or ssh and set the DISPLAY variable to your other machine and then execute the program and it should pop up in front of you. I wish I could remember how to set the display in bash. . .sorry I don't do it at home enough. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

If you setup and use SSH, the X11 forwarding will be handled for you. If you want to do it the old fashioned (read unsecure) way, after you login... set your display variable to that of the host where you want the X redirected. Assuming you are using bash as your shell, you could type: export DISPLAY=hostname:0 Where hostname is the the host you want the app to display on, and the :0 set the default Xserver/screen on that host. - Herman On Wed, 9 Aug 2000, Linux wrote: ->>I have the bandwidth at work to do X11 Forwarding but not sure how to do ->>it. ->>What is the easiest way to go about doing this? ->>Any info much appreciated. ->> ->> ->>"you've corrupted the Borg" ->> ->>-Picard to Lore ->> ->> ->>-- ->>To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com ->>For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com ->>Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq ->> -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
