that doesn't solve the whole problem. I use scripts to start remote X-based programs, and pass them with DISPLAY=my_local_host:0 such that when they start, they can start a window at my local host.
I wonder if there is a way to make SUSE allow remote X11 data.
thanks, --Long
Use 'ssh -X remote_host'.
This is the answer that was given to you previously. Use ssh -X to connect to the remote host and you will be able to run your "X" apps locally. With this there is NO need to pass the DISPLAY variable (it is NOT needed) and that is probably what is making your programs not work. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
