So I work thru a howto. Lets call the powerful machine "power" and my machine (where I wish to view the app) "mine"
I , at this stage, am unconcerned about security, I can tighten this up later, all I want is to get it to work.
So on mine I type xhost + - so any host can be a client of the X-server.
I ssh to power using all recomended switches :
mine# ssh -XY power
enter username and password, and cool, I am in.
so i try
power# xacctest -display mine:0 &
and it fails with : Cannot connect to x server mine.accpick.co.za:0.0
I have tried being root, and a regular user, using fully qualified domain names, and still nothing.
It is extremely annoying.
I was however, able to connect from mine to a Red Hat 9 box happily
As a last resort, on power i enabled telnet, and tried that, to see if i had an ssh problem - still no luck!
Since i can connect from mine (a slackware 10 box) to bool (a Red Hat 9 box) I am assuming i need to do something else to power to get it to work
I really like slackware, so I hope somebody has a bright idea to help me out here.
Incidentally, I am running KDE.
I live in hope
