I am enormously pleased to have my Email lists and WWW service now running fine on a very cheap (reconstruction job!) Debian box in my old office with SSL-telnet giving me what feels like very secure access for any work I have to do on it. I'd like to use Emacs from within X on my home machine when I do have to telnet in for work but I'm getting a refusal to give Emacs X client access to the server on the remote machine (if I've got the server/client naming the right way round). My questions are:
1) The remote machine isn't running X at the time, do I need to leave it with X running or can I assume it will launch it? (It does have a very limited VGA server up and running there.) 2) How do I set security in X so as minimise any possible holes but to give me this access? I have looked through the documentation but can't see anything pertinent. A man page suggests there is another on "Xsecurity" and the Xhost man page suggests _that_ isn't what I need. Please will someone point me at the right documentation? TIA Chris Chris Evans, R&D Consultant, Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust
