I have two computers on a local subnet
10.1.1.200 - computer1 "this is a server with barely a monitor"
10.1.1.201 - dev1 "this is my computer with a big graphic screen that I want to access computer1 from"
I tried from computer1 issuing the command: xhost +dev1 and from dev1: xhost +computer1 (not sure if I needed both)
Then, when I ssh into computer1 from dev1, and in that remote session do a DISPLAY=dev1:0.0 xclock
I get the clock on my local screen just like I expect.
How can I run a full kde session (startx like) on my dev1 system? are there any limitations to this? I'm thinking after I get this working I can stick the server (computer1) in a closet and still use the nice admin stuff from SUSE. (by the way, both are SUSE 7.2)
Thanks,

Hello Peter, I have also a server set up with SuSE 7.2. However, I am just using FVWM2 on it to keep things light. I have installed the VNCserver and also Webmin-0.87. I have created a link on my *good* desktop to summon the VNCserver on the server machine if I want to actually see its desktop. (I know some frown on GUI on a server, but......) You have to change the VNC script to bring up the server's desktop instead of putrid TWM. Between VNC and Webmin, there's nothing I can't do to the server. It is, btw, a 233MMX w/80M RAM and all is fine. This is by no means a *production* machine, just used for a home LAN to provide internet sharing and firewalling, Samba server, webserver and some file sharing. Having tried several other arrangements (e-smith, StartUP linux, etc.) I am happiest with this setup. Can't beat SuSE! -- TRBishop tb64710@alltel.net SuSE 7.2 Pro
