Yes that is correct, when you telnet to the other server make sure you export your display to the client system (could be :0 or :1 depending on whether you current client system is running an x console). You could also use VNC (vncserver) by Virtual Network Computing to run on the server, and then vncviewer to view an X desktop on the client. I find VNC much better to get the full desktop on your client, however if all you require is just X sessions, then exporting them via your DISPLAY variable will suffice. One note: if you're going over slow-bandwidth links using VNC, there is a Sourceforge project called TightVNC which works faster than the standard VNC. Check all this out via a google search if you're interested. > you might have to have X up on the f8 console first > so that :1 will > exist. > > from a command prompt startx -- :1 > > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
