Don't do X forwarding. But why do you want it to open on the remote machine? How are you going to see and interact with it?
From my machine, I do NOT need to see the application start up (strange, I know). I simply want to log onto the remote machine through SSH and start up the X app on THEIR end for them. It's just a convenience. If I ever reboot their machine remotely, I don't want to have to call them and say "ok, now click on that icon at the bottom of the screen to start the program".
Basically, imagine I set up a server for a remote client, and this client has no idea how to use linux. Nor do I want them poking around inside the system. I want to be able to start their X app remotely. I tried VNC but with VNC I am able to log onto their computer but I cannot see the 'task bar' at the bottom of the screen (the KDE task bar), not am I able to see any X apps even though they ARE running on that machine. --------------------------- Eric Carbone
Okay. Leave off the -X option on ssh command line. If you have enable X11forward in the configuration files on either end, add -x (lower case) to the command line. Jeffrey Quoting Eric Carbone <ERIC@morprinting.com>:

Sorry I lost the beginning of this thread. Maybe I am wrong... If I understood OK, you want to open applications in a remote computer? I would say you don't need at all the x forwarding... you better investigate the environment variable DISPLAY. Regards. On Tuesday 26 March 2002 17:00, Jeffrey Taylor wrote:
