You should consider using SSH with X forwarding rather than open up your system though. SSH actually makes it EASIER to use remote X applications because it works automatically, no xhost or DISPLAY changing needed. This also protects you by encrypting the entire session, far safer than the incredible insecurity of X itself. Do you know how to use SSH? Warren Togami warren@togami.com
