And that STILL doesn't address the OP's question about getting X -query hostname to work. ssh'ing to the machine with X11 forwarding enabled and launching an xterm isn't anywhere near the same thing as a full remote X KDE session into the remote machine.
No, its not, but again, I was using xterm merely as an example and I did mention that you could start any X application. Including /opt/kde3/bin/startkde if you want a full screen KDE session remotely. Yes, I realize it did not answer his question about query hostname as the thread had taken a turn from that (obviating the need to do so with ssh). Its ok Jarod, the people wanting this advice have already replied off list, just ignore my nattering.... -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
