or just use ssh with X forwarding.......
Actually, I'm having difficulty doing just that. I've built and installed ssh1 & 2 on two machines, and have enabled X11 forwarding on both. Ssh for command line works fine, however, when I try something like: dmgrover@cranky:~ > ssh -v spanky xterm I get: debug: hostname is 'spanky'. debug: Unable to open /home/dmgrover/.ssh2/ssh2_config debug: connecting to spanky... debug: entering event loop debug: ssh_client_wrap: creating transport protocol debug: ssh_client_wrap: creating userauth protocol debug: Remote version: SSH-1.99-2.0.13 (non-commercial) debug: Host key found from the database. dmgrover's password: debug: Ssh2/ssh2.c:304/client_authenticated: client_authenticated debug: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. debug: Failed to get local xauth data. xterm Xt error: Can't open display: debug: session_close debug: destroying client struct... debug: uninitializing event loop dmgrover@cranky:~ > So I think I'm looking at an xauth problem. I've noticed that on my local machine I've got a .Xauthority file in my home dir but on the remote machine I do not.
