Hello, I have a bunch of Red Hat P III machines and a single Debian powerpc. On the Red Hat's, I have no problem executing the sequence of commands: machine-a# xhost + machine-a# telnet <machine-b's IP addr> --------------- login/password sequence --------------- machine-b# export DISPLAY=<machine-a's IP addr> machine-b# xterm --------------- an xterm window appears --------------- However, when I try the same sequence when I log in from the Debian powerpc machine, upon typing xterm, I get the following error: Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user. The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable. xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s This problem occurs only when I originally start from the Debian powerpc machine. When I originate from any of the Red Hat P III machines, I have no problem connecting to any of the other Red Hat P III machines as well as to the Debian powerpc machine. Please tell me what settings I must change in my Debian powerpc in order to get this sequence to work. Thanks Sri _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
