just for the entertainment value, i was showing a group of newbie linux users how easy it was to run a graphical client remotely, so i did the same thing i've done many times -- had one person run "xhost +" and someone else set DISPLAY appropriately so run an "xclock" on their system and have the window itself pop up on the remote system. to my surprise, it didn't work even though it seemed like i'd done the same thing i'd done so many times before. time prevented me from digging into it further but is there something about FC6 that stops this from working anymore? do you need to do additional work with ssh or xauth or something these days? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
