Good tip. This is where Linux admin and Solaris admin diverge.... Maybe there should be a faq for linux users migrating to Solaris.
Also, in my case, we (in house) still use rshclient/rshserver stuff. I've been trying to get the admin folks to fix the x forwarding on the login servers, but when most folks use exceed, the admins adopt "if it ain't broke don't fix it". (Which is good if most folk use Window/Exceed) -Bryan Alan Coopersmith wrote: > Brett wrote: >> So what am I missing that is causing os0508 not to listen for incoming xwin >> traffic (directly, not via ssh tunnel) ? > > Like almost every other OS on the planet today, X in OpenSolaris is > configured to not listen for X traffic over TCP by default, instead > preferring you to use SSH tunnelling. > > If you're sure you want to allow remote X apps to display directly, > you can change this setting with the command: > svccfg -s x11-server setprop options/tcp_listen=true > and then restart X (logout of the desktop and log back in should do it). > > -- > -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering > _______________________________________________ > indiana-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss > _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
