I know I am going to mess up the Client Server relationship for Windows Managers on Linux, but here goes my question.
How are people configuring their environments to export their displays to a remote system? I can do the DISPLAY=x.y.z.a:0.0 and export DISPLAY manually, but this is not practical for different users, with different shells I can put something in /etc/profile which I believe gets executed by everyone, kind of like the SYSPROF EXEC on z/VM. I have little experience with shell scripts, and this may not be the right place. The whole Idea is that all users on zlinux under z/VM must use an external window manager. The default for the DISPLAY environment variable is DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 which really needs to be remote-IP:0.0 The question is how can I do this for the default for all users Supposedly SSH -X remote-host is also suppose to do this for you, but not here. I am such a newbie TIA, \|/ (. .) ____ooO-(_)-Ooo____ Larry Davis, 6-2380 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
