Yes, but there is a standard situation where you don't actually have to do this: when you connect to the remote machine via ssh. To make this work: - on the local machine, run your Xfree server. - in the terminal from which you will connect to the remote machine, set the DISPLAY environment variable to ":0". Not necessary if the terminal is a xterm, DISPLAY is then already set. - connect using "ssh -X remote.machine" On the remote machine, X forwarding has to be enabled in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
