Just to give you an idea on how well this works...You can't get to any of my Linux servers at work from outside of our network. I use sort of a poor mans VPN by using ssh to connect to my Mac at work, and then using ssh from it to any of the Linux boxes. I can then open an X app and it will display on my box at home. To further complicate things at home I've got a Linux box which is my gateway, using NAT for my internal network. So my home box has a non-routable address. With non-routable addresses you can't use the old X11 method of set DISPLAY=. SO given all of this, I can not only open X sessions on my Mac at work, I can open X sessions from any of the Linux boxes by going though my Mac. I've tried chaining this several layers at it still works. If this isn't clear here is an example: Box1> ssh Box2, Box2> ssh Box3, Box3> xterm. The xterm will open on Box1. Paul
