I expect it depends on your SSH client, but on my systems you open a console session on the local X-server, invoke 'ssh <user@host> -X' and then whatever remote X-windows application to project its display back to your host: % ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -X [... login dialog ...] % emacs & % [another session is opened on my screen running 'emacs', and since I "backgrounded" the remote app, the console remains live for further commands. Check 'man ssh'. Depending on what type of X authorization you use, you may have to put the remote login on a list of permitted users of your local display (xauth or whatever). - John Mills To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
