One of the three, but it's not the problem :) The offending machine (this one) has a static IP, and a fixed name (hawkins.cba.uni.edu). It's the one that can't display output from other machines, either the redhat machine (also with a static ip/name), or the machine on the cable modem (after setting DISPLAY, xauth, etc., of course). It is no problem displaying programs from this box *to* the box with the dynamic IP. At this point, I'm pretty much convinced that the problem is with something in xdm configuration that changed going from slink to potato. And I *really* need to be able to access the remote machine--this machine strains on starcalc3, which has a tendency to produce erros in spreadsheets that cause it to crash on load. The only known solution is to open and save the sheet in scalc3 format with soffice5--and running *that* on this machine is utterly out of the question (until potato, I ran netscape from a machine 100 miles away. Now I've got lynx configured to launch new instances and have a light background, so I don't need netscape more than a time or two a week). Overall, though (hmm, I'm babbling . . .) potato seems to put a much harsher load on my resources; the things that I used to be able to do are no longer possible without several minutes of paging :( rick > On Tue, Feb 29, 2000 at 11:41:13AM -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > I'm sure it's just yet another one line config change to get my box working > > the way it was before the "upgrade," but this time I haven't been able > > to find it. > > > > Whether by passing xauthority, ssh, or plain old "xhost +", I can't get > > anything from a remote machine to display.
