care to jot down a quick "hot-to-do-that"? we'd love to learn about it :) -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #119 from Jonathan D. Proulx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Having trouble RUNNING REMOTE X APPLICATIONS? You've tried "xhost +<host>", set the DISPLAY variable on the remote session, and checked that the "-nolisten tcp" flag is *not* being sent at X startup, right? Verify that X is really listening: "netstat -tl" will show all listening tcp ports; you should see port 6000 open if display :0 is listening (6001 for :1 etc.) If it is listening, I'd start wondering about packet filtering rules. Check ipchains or iptables... Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
