Ignoring the security question. I assume you are sitting in front of
system A, a *nix system, and want to run applications on B, another
*nix system, with display on A.
allow X access from B:
xhost +B
Telnet into B
Set the display to A. Details vary with the shell. With Bourne shell
or bash:
DISPLAY=A:0; export DISPLAY
With C shell:
setenv DISPLAY A:0
Startup the X application, e.g.:
emacs &
This is acceptable on a LAN with no hostile users. If this in not the
case, use SSH and X11 forwarding.
