Eew eew eew. Don't do that. Debian disables unencrypted X network sessions. But since you're using ssh to log in from one machine to the other (right?) this is easy: just add -X to the ssh command-line arguments to get X forwarding over ssh, and the DISPLAY environment variable will be automagically set to the right thing on the remote machine. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
