Hi all...
First thanks for all of your notes, but I see that I did not give enough info.
#1 I don't do windows! <G>
I know. You're a farmer. ;-)
Both of my Linux boxes are sitting here in front of me on my home lan. I'm at the command line of system A. B is headless. I want to telnet or ssh (or whatever) to system B. Run X there and have it display on A's screen. I'm using SuSE 6.3 on both systems.
At the command line "xhost" does not work I get an error. When I telnet (or ssh, I tried both) to B. I run "export DISPLAY=A:0", then "startx". On A's screen I get all the X messages, but no GUI. Just to see I put another screen on B and did all this again. I got all the messages etc on A's screen and the GUI came up on B's screen.
So any ideas?
marvin, 192.168.42.1 is the machine I am working at zaphod, 192.168.42.2 is my hpux 10.20 playstation I like to run hpux xclock on zaphod, *displaying* it on marvin, since zaphod's screen is broken and there is {/* lie mod on} no nicer clock but HP's {/lie mode off} brauki@marvin:/home/brauki > xhost +192.168.42.2 192.168.42.2 being added to access control list brauki@marvin:/home/brauki > telnet 192.168.42.2 Trying 192.168.42.2...

(puke!) ;-) X needs to run on marvin, not nessesarily on zaphod as I previously tried the other way round. Enjoy!! Juergen
TIA!
