Hi William,

You can get on the LUAU list from HOSEF website and ask any Linux questions directly to the whole list. There are folks worldwide on our list who are very adept at helping with questions.

Capt. Al,
I was on the internet looking at some local linux pages (HOSEF, MPLUG, etc...) and I came across your site. I just retired from the Navy, and worked at Kunia up

until August. They use SUN workstations running Solaris and one thing we used to do was display a running program from one computer on a second computer. This is what I've done thus far.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ setenv DISPLAY ThinkLinux:0.0
-bash: setenv: command not found

This question is for the Fedora gurus. I used the aliases for the IP addresses as they are in /etc/hosts, but the 'setenv' command doesn't exist on my system. Is that command missing intentionally from Fedora? I installed from the DVD ISO image, but could have missed it. Of course, the procedure above worked on a Solaris box, but Fedora could be different. Could someone point me in the right direction? Also, is there any way to map an ssh connection? In other words, is there a way to provide an icon for the connection in the Nautilus file manager that, when clicked on, would prompt the user for the password, after which the contents would be displayed? I'm going to try to find the answers on the Net, but any pointers would be appreciated.

Mahalo in advance,

William Jones




To set the DISPLAY (variable), in bash, you can "DISPLAY=bla xcommand" to set the the display for an instance or "export DISPLAY=bla" to set DISPLAY for the terminal session.

You can make a launcher (icon) for just about any command or script you can type in the terminal.
