Thanks. Those files cleared up some questions. In looking at server.nml, I noticed that the xemc processes are routed to the remote, but the old documentation indicates that these lines don't really do anything. Why not just remove those altogether? > There is one issue I want to raise here: opening ngc files. > For this to work both the GUI and the remote emc2 need to access the same > files & dirs. > The best way to accomplish this is to mount the remote dir locally using > something like smbmount (through smb/CIFS), or nfsmount. I am thinking that I could NFS mount both to a directory on my file server so that I can use the same directory for my lathe, CAD/CAM and have automated backups. > The other way to do this is by running ssh with X forwarding.
