As a third option you can make use of xdmcp. That way your client will get the hosts windowmanager / background etc. too. type 'man xdm' to find out more about getting the remote machine to present a login window. To start a session on the remote host, start X as: X -query <remotehost name or IP> securitywise: xdmcp does no encryption, but you can setup a tunnel (e.g. cipe) and route your X traffic through that. Be sure to tell xdm on the host which machines to accept and selectively add host on the client with xhost +<host> serge. -----Original Message----- From: Richard June [mailto:rjune@ims1.imagestream-is.com] Sent: donderdag 20 juli 2000 8:40 To: Huynh Hoang Vu Cc: linux-net@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: Satan and X-Server On RedHat Linux Dunno about SATAN, as for X, just use OpenSSH and configure it to ForwardX11 on the client and server /etc/sshd_config and /etc/ssh_config then use ssh to connect to the host machine and run the programs. if that's not a valid choice "xhost +<hostname>" and "export DISPLAY=<ip>:0.0" will most likely do the trick although the OpenSSH method would be preferred as it's a bit easier to do and it encrypts the entire session.
