Hello,
I have a problem where I cannot use Linux to host xwindows sessions from Unix servers. Ideally I'd like to use my linux server as a management console and be able to make use of xwindows functionality from our Unix Solaris servers.
Servers testing:
Pennine : Unix Solaris 9
Onslow : Linux RedHat ES 2.1
I am using ssh to connect to pennine via a terminal session running on onslow. However when I try and run xclock I get the message 'Error: Can't open display: onslow:0.0'.
I tried xhost +pennine prior to ssh command but this had no effect.
I have tried the ssh to another linux server and this works, so it seems to be something to do with incompatability with Unix and Linux using xwindows via ssh?
I have also tried telnet and setting display but this gives the same error - can't open display when i try to run xclock. This works when using xserver on Unix and hosting to pennine (Unix to Unix).
I have also tried X -query pennine, but this just displays a blank xwindows type screen and then crashes with 'can;t open display'
Can anybody help me with this as I'd like to use the xwindows functionality on linux to host xwindows sessions from our key unix servers.
Please find attached 2 debug files for comparison, although I can't see anything significant, you may.
I look forward to your comments,
Anthony.
