I'm having a little trouble getting started. Following directions in the man pages, I simply started Xnest with "Xnest :1&". I got the following when I did this: _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/emach-mdk64:1 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! The window came up, but when I then try to do "xterm -display :1" it says: AUDIT: Fri Apr 2 00:29:49 2004: 11711 Xnest: client 1 rejected from local host Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :1 Could you provide a suggestion on what to do next? Don't know if this matters, but the hostname "emach-mdk64" is made up - I just put it in /etc/hosts as an alias for localhost. -- Guy Rouillier
