Jay, Thanks. A couple of additional comments/questions below. - Mark > > Certainly.

Thanks! If User 1 runs on DISPLAY=localhost:0 and User 2 runs on DISPLAY=localhost:1 (or however that would really be described, based I guess on the graphics hardware I choose) then would they be able to <Alt><Ctrl>F7 to each other's displays? I hope not, and I would presume that normal Linux permissions would prohibit that. (Unless possibly User 1 == User 2) ><SNIP> > > Um, where were you planning to plug in a second keyboard? :-) I was thinking PS/2 for the primary keyboard and mouse, and then USB for the secondary keyboard and mouse. I'm guessing that it would be *fairly* easy to keep the two straight that way. Duplicate USB devices sounds dangerous to me. Maybe there's some sort of keyboard/mouse to Ethernet adapter for this sort of remote application? FYI - It's probably understood, but keyboard/mouse A must always be associated with monitor A. Not much good to be in one room typing things on the other monitor. ;-) > > Look into DOSVNC and a spare 386. No, we do that already. This is a more specialized situation in an area where I have absolutely zero background. (I'm just an end-user type.)
